About this villa rental
Spend your holiday in an ancient Sicilian residence and enjoy a unique experience, immersing yourself in the typical 19th-century atmosphere of the place, with all the modern comforts you need to relax and regenerate!
Dimora Storica Villa Fontana is a former noble residence built in the early 1800s around an older Arab watchtower. Its commanding position guarantees breathtaking views of the wonderful bay of Monte Cofano (a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage Site).
The villa is located inside a botanical park filled with greenery and centuries-old trees, spanning over 10,000 square meters. It is approximately 1 km from the sea (with small pebble and rocky beaches).
The air-conditioned villa comprises an entrance hall, a spacious, fully equipped eat-in kitchen with exceptional period furnishings, a spacious dining room for 9 people, two large living rooms, one with a panoramic veranda, four bedrooms with double beds (minimum 160x190 cm), two with private bathrooms and two with shared bathrooms, and a bedroom with a single bed (80x190 cm) and private bathroom, as well as two bathrooms serving the living area. The villa also features a laundry room with a washing machine, iron, and ironing board.
The vast outdoor spaces allow you to enjoy a relaxing summer holiday. It features a recently built private swimming pool (open from April 1st to October 31st, with earlier or later activation available upon request) and a furnished outdoor dining area (with barbecue).
Historic residence Villa Fontana is strategically located for easy access to the sea, natural parks such as Zingaro and the Egadi Islands, and places of great artistic and historical interest such as Segesta, Erice, Marsala, Selinunte, Palermo, Monreale, Trapani, Mothia, San Vito Lo Capo, Scopello, Castellamare del Golfo... and more. We recommend our guests rent a car to enjoy the amenities and countless nearby tourist destinations with maximum flexibility.
A variety of additional high-quality services are available to pamper you and help you enjoy your vacation in complete relaxation... just ask us and we'll do our best to accommodate you!
The villa is part of a complex with a second, completely separate and independent villa, which shares use of the botanical park and laundry room.
A video surveillance system for security purposes covers access to the park area.

Our stay at Villa Fontana was superb in every way: Francesca welcomed us warmly and was extraordinarily responsive throughout our stay, whether to make recommendations or suggestions about the area (restaurants, activities, shopping), or to answer questions about the Villa. All of our interactions with her and staff were fantastic. We were so glad to find that they maintain a small "store" on the premises: wine, olive oil (their own), and other consumables were well-stocked and readily available. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals we prepared on the premises, and found multiple options for grocery shopping just minutes away. Beds were comfortable, and the environs were peaceful and quiet. The pool is lovely and very well maintained, as are the garden and grounds of the property, all of which are extraordinary, with olive trees as far as the eye can see along with extensive plantings and fruit trees – really special! We felt safe and secure in and around the villa throughout our stay. We're still talking among ourselves about our stay and how comfortable it was in every way – we hope we're able to come back with family and friends to this perfect base for exploring Western Sicily. Thank you Francesca!

We had such a lovely time. The home was clean, beautiful and well maintained. The communication from Francesca was excellent. She always responded and incredibly quickly and was happy to help in any way she could. Check in and check out were seamless. The pool was very clean and private, with a great view. I highly recommend this beautiful villa for a getaway.

We just had an amazing 5 days at Villa Fontana. The history of the property is one of the things that make it so special. Your mind wanders to the time when it was the the only structure on the hillside. The location is great for exploring the region. Short trips to Erice, San Vito Lo Capo, Egadi Islands and Trapani. Cristina and Francesca our hostesses, whose family have owned the villa for generations, were attentive and available. At our request. they arranged a cooking class and a boat trip around the Egadi Islands. And even brought over a bag of ice after we missed the stores. The Villa comes equipped with a storage facility in the basement with a gorgeous selection of wines, beers, and other staples, olive oil etc. You can buy as you wish. That was a real bonus, as there was one less shopping trip to make. The villa was spacious and old kitchen fully equipped for cooking. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Amazing home on a spectacular property. Everything was clean, beautiful and as advertised. The property had a great swimming pool and balcony to watch the sunset. The rooms were all large and very clean with excellent AC during the summer months. Francesca was an amazing host who was always very quick to respond and was very helpful in answering our questions and providing reccomendations
