About the property

Inside

accommodation at Belich is all on one level. The main entrance takes one from a sheltered courtyard into a welcoming dining room, from where one gets one's first glimpse of the stunning sea views. Lofty white-beamed ceilings, calming grey resin floors, white walls animated with colourful contemporary artworks, and French windows opening out onto the surrounding terraces all combine to create a light, airy atmosphere that is replicated throughout the house.

An opening to the right leads into the well-equipped, double aspect kitchen, which flows out both onto the main sea-view al fresco dining area and a sheltered courtyard. Heading left from the dining room, a hallway takes one to the remainder of the accommodation.

To one side is a beautiful double bedroom with access to the gardens, and a glamorous, luxuriously fitted en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. On the other side is a double-sized living room with two distinct areas: a TV snug furnished with sink-in sofas, and a second sitting area with table and sofa. French windows in both of these areas bring in the sea views and provide seamless access to the main terrace, the gardens and the pool.

Outside

the outdoor areas of Belich have been designed to make the most of the splendid sea views and to promote an effortless al fresco lifestyle. Terraces wrap around the house, offering a variety of areas in which to relax.

Running all the way along the sea-facing side of the house is a large shaded terrace accessed from all the indoor communal areas. Furnished for lounging and dining, this terrace also leads down, past a family of palm trees, to the lovely infinity pool, which comes with a submerged sitting ledge (the perfect spot for watching the sunset with an aperitif in hand) and a swimming pump (an attractive proposition for those wishing to do some energetic virtual lengths).

Extensive gardens spread out for about 100m before the house, and a gate at the bottom opens onto a path leading down to the glorious sandy beaches of the Belice Nature Reserve, about 300m away. A similar sized section of garden runs behind the house, much of which is given over to a fragrant citrus orchard.

The sheltered courtyard from which one accesses Belich has been designed as an alternative al fresco area for breakfast or for an afternoon snooze. Conveniently situated just outside this courtyard, and easily accessed from the kitchen, is a food preparation area, with sinks and a barbecue.

About the Area

Belich 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 one of these, is a long expanse of sand in the Belice Nature Reserve is just a 300m-walk away along a natural path. Other beaches, including the one at Porto Palo, are just a few minutes' drive away. The beaches in the area of Porto Palo-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 are the superb archaeological sites of Selinunte and the Cave di Cusa. After a visit to these, you might like to enjoy a superb lunch or dinner at La Pineta, a great seafood restaurant 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 seafood restaurants and working ports with large fishing fleets working 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 (running quite close to Belich).

Considerations

Due to the nature of the property including several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.

Some areas of this property may be overlooked.

You may also wish to know that the pool has a single depth of 1.5m.

Because of natural changes to the coastline from season to season, the sandy beach in front of this property may not look as it does in the photos.

One section of the access road to Belich is a little rough, so we recommend guests hire a car with high ground clearance.

Verified guest, visited May 2026

Our experience at Belich was breathtaking and everything we could have ever wanted. The views were incredible. We loved the pool at night, the sunset was unbeatable. The beach was also better than I imagined. The walk there was lovely and it was almost like having your own private beach.

EG, visited August 2025

Belich was well-equipped and clean, and the views are superb.

Verified guest, visited September 2024

Belich is a really beautiful villa, furnished with incredible eclectic taste. Loved it, hated leaving! We don't usually return to the same places as we like new experiences, but I think Belich would tempt us to a repeat!
