Villa Francesca
About the home
Villa Francesca is surrounded by a wide garden with Mediterranean bush and aromatic shrubs, dipping you into a very relaxing atmosphere. At just five minutes drive from the lovely small sea village of Terrasini with its many pubs, restaurants, shops and lively night life, the Villa is the ideal place for those seeking great relaxation, though not renouncing to the many amenities the area offers.
The location of the Villa, inside a private residence with a large swimming pool, a volley field and a children mini-soccer field, makes it the perfect choice for families with children, seeking wide open-air spaces where to let their children play in complete safety.
A wide equipped terrace is ideal for sun bathing in the morning, cheered by the sweet chirping of the birds, as well as, for lovely dinner at al fresco in the evening in front of spectacular sunsets.
The Villa, with its interiors in the old Sicilian style tradition, offers a wide living room facing the main terrace, with sofa area and a cosy, romantic fireplace corner. The bedrooms, two doubles and one single, are all bright, each enjoying its own terrace. The second floor offers a stunning view of the surrounding valley and the rocky mountain which faces the sea.
Thanks to its location, not far from the highway, Villa Francesca is ideal for daily trips to the many tourist attractions in western Sicily, such as Trapani with its salt pans or the medieval old town of Erice or the archeological sites of Segesta and Selinunte. The area offers a wide coast with stunning views, beautiful bays and white beaches ideal for children, such as Magaggiari beach and Praiola beach, the last one characterized by a couple of breathtaking stacks in a crystal blue sea

The Palermo / Terrasini area
The small sea-village of Terrasini, at only 30 km from Palermo, is located in a perfect position which allows its visitors to enjoy gorgeous naturalistic views, as well as, renowned tourist attractions of western Sicily.
Very close to the Villa is Capo Rama Natural Reserve, ideal for naturalistic walks, surrounded by spectacular views, and for birdwatching, as it is on the route of some of the migratory species.
Cala Rossa bay, at only 1 km from the Villa, very attractive for the characteristic red color of its rocks, is the favourite destination for snorkeling, as it offers clear blue, uncontaminated waters and spectacular landscapes.
Very good for families with children are a couple of white, sandy beaches: Praiola beach, surrounded by two majestic stacks and Magaggiari beach, with shallow and turquoise blue waters.
Many local activities take place in Palermo, as well as, in Terrasini area, throughout the year. Very popular in Terrasini is a festival taking place the day of Easter, called "La Festa di li Schietti", pure expression of local folklore.
