About this villa rental
This 17th century villa has been lovingly restored to reflect life as it was when it was built.
The villa consists of a central body 'ANTICA RESIDENZA 120 sqm', and 7 additional independent houses.
Through the vegetable garden, and orchard you have access to the houses. Each house has its own private kitchen, bathroom and outdoor area. All the rooms exude a Mediterranean atmosphere, a journey through the sensations and colours of Sicily. The interior has been restored with local natural materials and is furnished in traditional Sicilian country style, with items that show total respect for the history and background of things.
VILLA SALINARA is surrounded by nature and culture, and is a few steps from the sea. Time flows slowly, away from the increasing pace of the big cities. It is a place of indisputable charm, surrounded by thousands of colours from the salt pans at sunset, with rare pink flamingos that hover between the old windmills.
There are many typical eno-gastronomic products, the famous local wineries producing Marsala wine, Olive Oil “Nocellara of Belice”, the local sheep cheese, ricotta-filled cannoli from Dattilo, the popular cous cous with fish soup.
I invite you to take one of “Katia’s cooking classes”. I promise you'll laugh AND learn and eat some unforgettable food!
For those who love sports can enjoy sailing, windsurfing, kite surfing, horses and fishing.
Some of our first guests explained it best:
“An example of artistic and ethical recovery in Sicily on the edge of a nature reserve.”
“After we got up this morning, we went out with the bikes, we saw the sea, the vineyards and the windmills. So we decided this just might be the most beautiful place on earth”
Come to have a magical stay.
We will greet you and show you the essentials… and we are nearby and available by text should you need anything. We respect your privacy-this stay is for YOU!

Yumi & Adriano Were the most amazing hosts. Our entire group were made to feel so welcome and they both went over and beyond to help accommodate us during our stay.
The Villa was not only comfortable but beautifully restored and stylish.
We cannot thank Yumi & Adriano enough for all their outstanding hospitality. You truly are running a business not only based in passion but from your heart!

Our party of 4 adults stayed for 12 days at the beginning of September 2014 at Villa Salinara, near Marsala in the province of Trapani, Sicily. We stayed in two parts of the large house - the lovely Emporio of Grapes and the smaller and less fancy Aqua Santa house. The Emporio was impressive on arrival, Aqua Santa less so. One wall of Aqua Santa needed painting following some re plastering works but it provided a large airy room with a fantastic shower room. Emporio is stunning - being a former chapel it has a lovely high roof above a fantastic long dining table and comfy lounge area. It has a beautiful and practical kitchen. The fridge freezer clucks like a chicken which made us laugh but it was ample and an excellent place to store our grappa! The bathroom is a bit dark and would be nicer if painted a lighter colour. At first one can be forgiven for thinking some things here are a little basic - but as the cares of every day life fall away as you relax into your stay the simplicity of the accommodation and beauty of the stone, marble, tiles and wood around you helps to accelerate that feeling of chilling out and generally focussing on the simple sheer beauty of the place. The grounds are pretty and we loved using the outdoor barbecue area each night with bats flying low over the fig trees at dusk. There is a pretty secluded grassy area with hammocks under trees at the front of the property for a relaxing space too. Shan the Sri Lankan general tinkerer and odd job chap on site is lovely, bringing us fresh eggs from the resident hens most days . Ever helpful with directions and on hand to sort any issues around such as a loss of hot water to the shower sometimes! Immediately resolving things which was great. Adriano and Yumi the owners are also most helpful. Adriano gave us a good grounding in things to do and see in the area and their very helpful leaflet about the house and the surrounding area is fantastic. The restaurant recommendations good - especially La Pineta at Selinute which was a fantastic beach restaurant. Marsala was lovely and the fresh fish and produce market a must for the wonderful large barbecue in the garden that you just have to use. Roasted sea bream and courgettes do very nicely on it! And we would recommend amongst many other things a visit to Favignana, Egadi island. Take the ferry from Marsala, hire bikes and explore. If you are looking for a peaceful, simple and rejuvenating stay Vila Salinara is ideal.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. I was welcomed by Adriano and Yumi. The villa is full of beautiful details, it's spacious and my room had a very comfortable bed. Yumi prepared a delicious strawberries marmalade and Adriano was able to give me tips of where to go around Marsala.
The best part about Villa Salinara is its location, a 5 min walk to the sea which has a small wooden bridge on the sand with clean blue waters and plenty of sun!
This place is nice to stay and exactly as described! Sitting at the balcony and looking at the sun dawn into the see - face to face to Africa - great!
Many household machines for cooking and washing, even a juicer, and also WiFi - perfect!
We enjoyed to stay there and will come back another time! THANKS!!!

"Absolutely beautiful villa and location. I agree with all previous testimonials in regards to Yumi and Adriano. They was extremely helpful and friendly. The property was ideal for the children, they had plenty of space to play in the garden. The rooms was spacious, beautifully kept, spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need for your holiday. Situated in a quiet area surrounded by fields and lemon trees and it is a short walk (about 10 minutes) into the sea. Much of the land is cultivated and Adriano generously leaves gifts of freshly picked fruit and vegetables. The centre of Marsala is about 15 min drive and there are plenty of good restaurants. Highly recommended. My family and I intend to return to Sicily in the future and I would stay in this villa again. Thank you!"
