The Area

Chirchiaro is situated in the rolling hills of western Sicily, a few kilometres as the crow flies from historic Salemi. The nearest small town for shops and amenities is Vita, just a 10-minute drive away. For cultural day trips, Chirchiaro is ideally placed, thanks to its relative proximity to both legs of the A29 motorway (one running between Mazara del Vallo and Palermo, the other between Trapani and Palermo). The stunning Greek temple and theatre of Segesta are just over the hill to the north while the fascinating archaeological sites of Selinunte and Cave di Cusa are about 40 minutes' drive away to the south. Western Sicily's major historic towns, including Trapani, Marsala and Palermo are all between 50 and 80 minutes' drive away, while for a day at the beach you can choose north or south: 45-50 minutes to Castellammare del Golfo and Scopello to the north or the long sandy beaches of the Selinunte and Menfi area to the south. The ruins of Old Gibellina - now an enormous open-air work of art - and those of Old Poggioreale - now a Ghost Town - make for a fascinating day out and can be reached in about 45mins. Guests staying at Chirchiaro might be interested in a tour of Gibellina and Poggioreale with an expert English-speaking guide.

An illustration of a guest book

Chirchiaro is an incredibly beautiful house in a stunning location. It's perfect in every way, inside and out. It's well-equipped, has stunning views and a lovely pool, and is very quiet. It can't be faulted! We would return because it's just gorgeous and very relaxing!

VC October 2024

Chirchiaro had been exceptionally and thoughtfully prepared, with gorgeous table arrangements and flowers in every room. The oil, wine, honey, vegetables from the farm and other treats from the owners were very much appreciated by all of us. It is a beautiful house for a relaxing family break. The views are glorious and the pool is lovely. The generosity of the owners and the cook's meals meant that we ate extremely well, and the cooking lesson with Signora Antonella was a real highlight of our stay.

SP October 2024

We particularly appreciated the cleanliness of Chirchiaro, which was really exceptional. As keen cooks, we loved that the kitchen was so well equipped - again exceptional.

ES, United Kingdom September 2022

We fell in love with Chirchiaro, its charm and authenticity, its extensive grounds, its beautiful swimming pool and its superb views of the surrounding countryside.

ML, France August 2022

Chirchiaro was amazing and all the people, the owner who met us, the cook and cleaner, the babysitter all made this experience.

TT, Australia July 2022

We had a superb experience from start to finish! Chirchiaro was stunning (which I knew as I had been before) and the Villa Specialists were incredibly responsive and helpful at all times.
