Set on the edge of the Golfo di Castellammare, Funcia occupies a very private spot on one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Sicily.
The small village of Scopello just up the hill has a good selection of restaurants and bars, and can be reached on foot in about 20 minutes. There is also a mini-market (with an excellent deli, butcher's and wine selection), a good bar and an organic farm shop selling superb fruit and vegetables about 10 minutes walk away.
The old tuna fishery (tonnara) of Scopello, a few hundred metres along the coast from the villa, is a must-see if staying at Funcia. In recent years the beauty of the building itself, and its wonderful setting, has made it popular both as a visitor attraction, and as an event venue, hosting weddings and other celebrations.
As well as the tuna fishery, you can also easily visit Lo Zingaro Nature Reserve, which offers a range of spectacular walks and some beautiful crystal clear bays for swimming. There is a diving centre in Scopello for scuba lovers and a pebbly beach with equipped lidos just a 5-minute drive away at Guidaloca.
The town of Castellammare del Golfo, a few kilometres east, has several seafront bars and restaurants and a daily fish market.
The spectacular Elymian/Greek site of Segesta is about 20 minutes drive away and Erice, Palermo, Trapani and Selinunte can all be reached in under an hour.
From the Guest Book

Funcia is an absolutely amazing property and the owners were fantastic. We could not have had a more beautiful week there. I give it five out of five.

Funcia is in the most gorgeous position, the owners were lovely and it felt like a home rather than an overly designed rental.

Absolutely stunning setting and amazing to have a private beach.

Funcia was incredible. The view takes your breath away. We also enjoyed the swimming in the clear waters at the base of the property. I give it a 10 out of 10. The chef at the villa was amazing. My family has travelled all over the world but my daughters rated our stay in Sicily as one of our top vacations.
