The summerhouse in a nature reserve
Set on a gorgeous, secluded stretch of sandy beach, Al Profondo Blu takes its name from the enticing colour of the sea that gently caresses the surf just beyond the garden gate. Sun-baked Mediterranean maquis, shady trees and succulent plants make up the 15 hectares of private nature reserve that envelope the house in a cocoon of fragrant tranquility, providing the perfect retreat for those wishing to get away from the rigours of everyday life.

The beauty and peace of your own personal nature reserve may make it difficult to get out and explore but you really should visit Selinunte and the Cave di Cusa and have a superb lunch or dinner at the seafront restaurant La Pineta. La Pineta is a 3.5km walk from the villa along the beach of the Belice Nature Reserve. Several of the towns nearby are also well worth a visit. Sciacca and Mazara del Vallo both have charming old centres, some great restaurants and working ports with large fishing fleets that work the Mediterranean daily. A little further afield but still in easy day-trip distance are Marsala, Trapani and Erice. Caltabellotta is spectacularly situated in the craggy hills overlooking both coast and interior, while Menfi itself is an up-and-coming centre of excellence for the wine trade.
The beaches in the area of Porto Palo-Menfi have received 20 consecutive "Blue Flags", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence.
Cycling in the Menfi area is a very pleasurable pastime, thanks to both the quiet back roads and the purpose-built cycle track along and around the old railway line between Menfi, Porto Palo and Sciacca. We’d be delighted to have bikes delivered to your villa and, if anyone in your group is an inveterate pedaller, arrange for a local guide to show them the best routes.

Heaven on earth is Al Profondo Blu. We loved the character and charm. We swam 4 times a day. The pizza night was so professional, interesting in terms of watching the preparation, and delicious. We all had the most amazing week.

At Al Profondo Blu we felt we were honoured guests in an extraordinary home. The villa was in an extraordinary location - we felt extremely lucky to spend a week there. What we felt about the whole experience was a sense of generous hospitality, from the care taken by our team, to the quality of the property, and of course the fantastic food from the chef. Your welcome gifts were so thoughtful - the cookery book, the Easter cake, and the delicious food starter pack. Thank you.
