The Area

La Favorita is superbly situated for exploring the most beautiful parts of western Sicily, sitting in the outskirts of Marsala, just a few minutes' drive from the historic centre. The town is most commonly known for its fortified wines, invented for export by English traders in the 18th century, and was also the starting point from which Garibaldi launched his attack on the Bourbons to ignite a revolution that was to create the nation of Italy. Today, the town boasts a beautifully restored centre with some great restaurants and bars and some excellent beaches.

An added bonus of staying near in Marsala is the hydrofoil service to Favignana and the Egadi Islands: a 30-minute trip directly from Marsala (or a 20-minute trip from Trapani ) will take you to an island paradise of sandy beaches, idyllic coves and transparent waters. Alternatively, why not let us charter a boat for you one day?

Also close to La Favorita is the Phoenician island of Mozia, Erice, Trapani, the superb Greek temples at Selinunte and Segesta, and the wonderful beaches of the southwest coast.

An illustration of a guest book

What an amazing property! Beautiful pool, fantastic gardens to enjoy (hide and seek for the children, and drinks under the palms for the adults), and amazing curiosities to see throughout this historic villa. The villa staff were very helpful with our household needs and supported us with local experiences.

K.I. May 2023

We cannot fault anybody involved with our holiday at La Favorita in any way. It was perfect.

ST, United Kingdom June 2022

We couldn't fault La Favorita. It's a real Italian gem, beautifully furnished and luxuriously fitted. Set in over an acre of lovely gardens and with a fantastic swimming pool. We often had to drag ourselves away to see other parts of the island. We had a party of 12 with age ranges from 16 to 83 and every one of us rated the holiday as 5 star. Without hesitation we would certainly use The Thinking Traveller again for a villa holiday. The owner of the villa welcomed us and introduced us to the staff and gave us a tour. All our luggage was sanitised before being taken indoors and we felt very safe. The staff couldn't do enough to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. The meals they provided were wonderful almost to excess at times.

Mr Roger King, United Kingdom October 2020

Everything was amazing at La Favorita. The setting was spectacular. The staff were outstanding and we greatly enjoyed meeting the owners who were terrifically helpful and just really lovely people.

Verified guest, July 2022

5 out of 5 for La Favorita. Outstanding full service at all times. Owners made sure all our needs were attended to at all times. Very helpful with local suggestions, and made sure everything was running smoothly at the house.

We had a great family experience at La Favorita. What made it stand out was the staff and the grounds.
