A great spot for relaxing and enjoying the view!

Fabulous views over Sicily's south coast.

Approaching San Marco through its olive grove grounds.
The design and furnishings in San Marco were amazing and so comfortable, especially the fully stocked kitchen. The villa has spectacular sunset and ocean views. The photos do not do it justice - we were so pleased that the plunge pool was bigger and deeper than expected. We loved the proximity to San Marco beach which was the perfect sandy beach with shallow, clear water for our family to play in. We would return.

Inside
accommodation at San Marco is on two floors. The main entrance takes one in to an open-plan living area and a hi-spec kitchen.The white walls and light grey polished concrete floors are lit up by a series of large glass doors that open onto the outdoor terraces and bring in the views, creating an airy, luminous and calming atmosphere.
Whether you're lounging on the sofa or rustling up lunch, you'll get to look at the sea. Stairs lead from the living area up to the first floor and the sleeping quarters, which comprise a double bedroom with large panoramic terrace, a double-twin also with terrace and a second double with access via a walkway to the surrounding gardens. All three bedrooms boast superb sea views and sleek en-suite shower rooms.
Outside
San Marco sits in a generous plot of land, which is planted with olive trees and a large variety of fragrant Mediterranean flora. Immediately outside the indoor living area is a fabulous shady terrace, furnished for lounging and dining, served by a great built-in barbecue and delimited by vibrant green lawns.The terrace leads to the panoramic infinity plunge pool and a sun-soaked solarium from where the sea views just keep coming. Two of the bedrooms have their own panoramic terraces but the view to beat all other views is from the roof-top terrace, the perfect spot for a aperitif as the summer sun melts into the sea.
Last, but certainly not least, a track leads from the gardens down to the long sandy beach below the house (approx. 10-minute walk) where you will be able to dive into the azure waters of the Mediterranean or take advantage of a couple of beach bars serving refreshments and light lunches and renting out kayaks and other water sports equipment.

About 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.
Considerations
San Marco features a fantastic infinity plunge pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a drop from the infinity edge so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.
Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.
This property is surrounded by countryside, some of which is unfenced and may include drops or steep slopes. We therefore recommend that younger children are supervised by an adult when exploring the grounds.
Because of natural changes to the coastline from season to season, the sandy beach in front of this property may not look as it does in the photos.

San Marco is a beautifully situated villa with great views and sunsets.

What stood out about San Marco? The location and the set-up. My 13 year old daughter’s words: San Marco was the perfect end to a lovely 12 day holidays in Puglia, Calabria and Sicily.

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.

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.

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.

San Marco is in a fabulous location and is well equipped. We had a wonderful family holiday in an amazing villa in an interesting part of Sicily.
