Home description
Driving to Il Gorgo is an experience itself; the stunning views and the suggestive landscape will capture your attention. Once arrived, you will access the villa trough the large internal courtyard. On your left you will have the dining room, living room, the well fitted kitchen and, at the back of the property, the covered terrace and the panoramic pool. On the opposite wing of the villa you will have the sleeping quarter: a corridor lined by four double bedrooms, two twins, a sitting area and another double bedroom; all rooms have an ensuite bathroom with the exception of one double and one twin which have a common large bathroom. Also available a play room, the tennis court and the football pitch. Due to the high position, the air remains always nice and fresh even in the hot days of August particularly at night, therefore air conditioning is not necessary; however, the villa is equipped with ceiling fans.

The Sicily region
Welcome to Sicily, Mediterranean island of the south: hot, dry, wracked by earthquake and eruption; where Europe is no longer entirely Europe. Gothe recognised that in Sicily, where the axes of Mediterranean power and culture converge to create half-glimpsed and half-imagined treasures and tragedies, ‘beautiful things gleam in the dust’. Nearly 25 centuries of foreign domination have left a legacy of splendid civilisations, crystallised and concentrated – from the coolly classic architecture of Hellenistic Greece to the startling fusion of Arab artisanship and Norman austerity; from the pomp and extravagance of Spanish baroque to the Byzantine art and culture. Sicily’s complex culture is matched only by its stunning natural beauty and the incredible diversity of landscape: rolling hills and valleys swathed in grapevines, brooding Etna with its steep volcanic escarpments, 1000km of aquamarine coastline and a necklace of encircling islands.
Palermo / Contessa Entellina area
Il Gorgo is set in the Sicani hills on the Mount Genuardo (830m). from here you will dominate the entire valley of the lovely village of Contessa Entellina (5Km). The property is surrounded by the Santa Maria wood, a perfect spot for excursions and picking mushrooms. The sandy beaches of Sciacca are few kilometres away as well as the Greek Temple in Selinunte.
