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.
From the 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.

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

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.
