An illustration of a guest book

We liked especially the way Il Canneto was comprised of multiple elements and varied grounds. Would we return? Yes, the villa and its location on the southwest coast of Sicily appeal to me.

Cameron McKechnie September 2025

Il Canneto was gorgeous and our overall holiday was wonderful. What stood out were the views, the grounds, and how quiet it was.

NR September 2024

Il Canneto was beautiful and spacious. We loved the position on top of a mountain and overlooking the sea as well as the privacy. The Thinking Traveller is a truly exceptional leader in the vacation rental industry! The customer service experience was extraordinary. They were an invaluable part of our travel and activity planning. From the weeks leading up to our travel until after our check out, The Thinking Traveller team communicated with us exceptionally well!

The Area

Il Canneto is situated on the southwest coast of Sicily midway between Agrigento, famous for the archaeological site of the Valley of the Temples, and Sciacca, a working fishing town with a well preserved historic centre and some excellent restaurants. A little further west along the coast past Sciacca, is another superb archaeological site, that of Selinunte.

The gorgeous long sandy beaches of the Torre Salsa Nature Reserve and Eraclea Minoa (which also has an impressive archaeological site) are just a few kilometres away, while if you head inland, you will find some historic hill-top towns, such as Caltabellotta, and the stunningly positioned castle of Mussomeli.
