From the Guest Book
Read the insightful reviews from travellers who have experienced this villa and our service firsthand.
What stood out about San Marco was the location and the view. The added services (groceries & chef mainly) made a huge difference. For example, we were getting in late and our local specialist made sure there was something for us to eat on arrival (a delicious lasagne). The in-villa chef was also amazing and the food was delicious. Would we return? Yes.

NR August 2025
Would we return to San Marco? Yes, the location and facilities were exactly what we wanted - we wanted the opportunity to relax and enjoy some nice food and drink without being in a hotel. The mix of having restaurants close by and the in-villa chef option were perfect for us. What stood out was the view, the facilities and the proximity to things we needed.

SV, Switzerland August 2022
San Marco was comfortable and had everything we needed. The view was spectacular and the proximity to Sciacca was convenient. Our experience was the right mix of activity and relaxation with a comfortable home to return to.

The Area
San Marco is situated just a few kilometres west of Sciacca, a working fishing town with a well-preserved and fascinating historic centre and some excellent shops and restaurants. Sciacca was founded by the Greeks in the fifth century BC, when the residents of Selinunte made use of its hot thermal springs as a spa. There are several thermal spa complexes in and around the town where visitors can bathe in the hot sulphurous waters.
San Marco is ideally placed for visiting the fascinating Greek archaeological sites of Selinunte (to the west) and The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento (to the east).
The coast around Sciacca is sprinkled with excellent sandy beaches and those around Porto Palo-Menfi (just to the west) have received 13 consecutive "Bandiere Blu", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence. Driving west past Sciacca, one soon comes to the long sandy nature reserve beaches of Torre Salsa and Eraclea Minoa and the stunning white marl cliffs and beach of the Scala dei Turchi.
If you're looking to explore some of Sicily's historic towns and cities, Palermo, Trapani, Marsala, Mazara del Vallo and Erice are between 1 hour and 1.5 hours' drive away.
Cycling in the Sciacca-Menfi area is a very pleasurable pastime, thanks both the quiet back roads and a purpose-built cycle track along the old railway line between Sciacca, Menfi and Porto Palo.
