The Area
Porto Palo di Menfi is on the south west coast of Sicily, between Sciacca and Mazara del Vallo, just a few kilometres east of the fabulous archaeological site of Selinunte. The beaches along this stretch of coast (including that of the Belice Nature Reserve) are amongst the most beautiful in Sicily.
Most of the gently undulating countryside around Menfi is given over to vineyards and wine-tasting is a must for anyone staying at Cinnamon.
Easy day trips from Cinnamon include Sciacca, Selinunte, and Mazara del Vallo, a vibrant fishing port.
Also within easy range is historic Marsala, with its old town centre full of wineries, the Phoenician island of Mozia, the Greek temple and theatre of Segesta and Erice.
About 90km southeast along the coast, meanwhile is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento.
The beaches in the area of Porto Palo, Menfi and the Belice Nature Reserve have received over 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.
