If booking online does not suit you, our experts have visited each villa personally, so they can share the finer details and help explore flexible date options.
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.
From the Guest Book

Everything was perfect at San Marco and the cook provided an amazing dinner for us.
Mrs Cecilia Bishop, United Kingdom September 2021
San Marco is a modern villa, well-presented and with sea views from every room. The beautiful sandy beach is only 5 min walk and the sea is wonderful. I had to work on a couple of days so really appreciated the 1st class wifi and AC. Will definitely come back.

San Marco was absolutely perfect for my family with two young children. The welcome at the villa was so generous and the caretaker took the time to explain everything we needed to know and how to get down to the beach from the villa. The sunsets and views and the fact that every bedroom has a sea-view really enhanced our enjoyment. The stars at night were incredible too.
