Angheli is located just a few kilometres outside Menfi, a wine-making town surrounded by vine-carpeted hills and olive groves.
Some of Sicily's best beaches run along the coast below Menfi and many of these, including the ones at the Belice Nature Reserve (which Angheli overlooks) and Porto Palo, are just a 20 minute drive away. The beaches in the area of Menfi have received over 20 consecutive "Bandiere Blu", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence.
Not to be missed for anyone staying in the area is the superb archaeological site of Selinunte and the Cave di Cusa, followed, perhaps, by a superb lunch or dinner at the seafront restaurant La Pineta on 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.
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.

Angheli was amazing. The furnishings were very high quality, and it very well equipped. Plus, the view was amazing. There was a sunset every evening. We loved the villa and would highly recommend it. The photos don’t do it justice. Amazing Thinking Traveller staff, amazing chef, and great excursions.

The lady who came to kindly cook a few meals for us at Angheli was amazing. Most of our best food in Sicily was from her and she was so nice and thoughtful. We miss her!

Angheli was absolutely beautiful, and everything was built and designed to an extremely high standard. The owners met us on the first day with a fantastic spread of goodies, including a freshly baked cake, and were very helpful in explaining everything at the property. The cleaner was great and very friendly. The chef was a real highlight of our trip. She was incredibly knowledgeable and engaged our children with new foods. She was able to work around several different dietary restrictions with no problem. We had a wonderful week, and she helped make it extra special. Our overall experience with The Thinking Traveller was fantastic.

We had a really lovely stay at Angheli. What stood out was the outdoor setting with pool, the outdoor eating and seating area and the view.
