A characteristic Sicilian Cart
captures the eye arriving to this beautiful villa situated
in an area of great interest, for the presence of the Laguna
dello Stagnone only 1600 mt far. The beach is only 3 km
far.
The property has that particular country flavour for its style.
The cart, a chaise, a small pool, reserve of water for irrigation,
the plough, the wine casks and a collection of old working tools
in perfect conditions are the touches that bring minds to the past.

The lagoon is a beautiful start to
explore the surroundings, such as the salines with windmills and
Motia, what remains of the famous Etruscan town. Swimming is possible
in the Lagoon too

Experience spending time in a land of suggestions;an evocative small chapel can be visited in complete privacy, as it is inside the house.
Unmissable spots to be visited in South Sicily will certainly be the town of Marsala, with its salines and windmills, marsala wine producers sites, as well as ancient Erice and Segesta, but also the Egadi Islands (Favignana and Levanzo).
Take the hydrofoil from Marsala port and be there in 20 minutes time. The small islands are well known for their nature and for their crystalline waters, certifyed by the European Blue Flag. |

at 3 km, and enjoy the unique sights of S.Maria and Isola Lunga.

Ask for the granita and brioche in the morning; it is a specialty
only prepared in Sicily for a refreshing breakfast. Italian fresh
sweet pastry and a grated iced coffee or blended iced fruit is a
pleasure that should not be missed.
However Sicily is famous for its delicious recipes, for seafood
and the marzapane cakes; some mediterranean specialties remind to
the best north african cooking, accordingly revised to the italian
taste.

The legend says that in 1773 a rich
Liverpool merchant, John Woodhouse,after a terrible storm, finally
landed safely in the port of Marsala. He wanted to reward the
crew for their hard work and bough all the strong local wine,
called Perpetuum. He decided to add more alcool to ensure conservation
and the final wine was greatly appreciated.
The special Marsala formula and the Sicilian sun give the wine that special unmistakably taste, impossibile to imitate.
The guests of THE SICILIAN CART will have the chance to go and visit some genuine Marsala producers of the surroundings.
