Villa Nature's Embrace

Located on the western coast of Sicily, near the town of Cornino, is the Villa Nature’s Embrace. Set close to Monte Cofano - one of the most beautiful maritime reserves on the island. For those who love nature and the sea, this is the ideal spot. There are hiking trails and cycling routes along an easy path that circumnavigates the coast. The reserve attracts several species of birds including the Peregrine Falcon, kestrels and buzzards. Several caves are open along the coast of Custonaci, with the one at Scurati being of particular interest. These caves showcase prehistoric settlements of great value where fossils, weapons, flint tools and graffiti have been found to date back to the upper Paleolithic period.

For beach lovers there is a small beach at Cornino, 600m walk from the villa or head to the beautiful golden sand beaches of San Vito Lo Capo, a 25-minute drive away. There are also daily boats trips from San Vito or Trapani to the Egadi Islands; the ancient site of Segesta with its forum and amphitheatre; the charming medieval hilltop town of Erice; and the sweet wine cellars of Marsala - all within a short drive away.

The villa itself is built on two level and accommodates up to 8 people with three double bedrooms including two extra beds, two bathrooms, spacious living room, fully fitted kitchen and breathtaking views. The setting, located between the mountains and the sea, is exactly what makes it so special. The view to the front is over the enchanting stretch of coast between the town of Cornino and the nature reserve and, to the rear, a mountain backdrop.

Within the well-maintained garden is a private pool with solarium furnished with sun loungers and parasol, and an outdoor dining area where guests can enjoy the amazing sunsets over the Mediterranean.

The perfect villa hideaway - picturesque, peaceful and quiet.
