About this property
Historic residence Villa Fontana private pool & botanic garden
Spend your holiday in an ancient Sicilian residence and enjoy a unique experience, immersing yourself in the typical 19th-century atmosphere of the place, with all the modern comforts you need to relax and regenerate! Dimora Storica Villa Fontana is a former noble residence built in the early 1800s around an older Arab watchtower. Its commanding position guarantees breathtaking views of the wonderful bay of Monte Cofano (a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage Site). The villa is located inside a botanical park filled with greenery and centuries-old trees, spanning over 10,000 square meters. It is approximately 1 km from the sea (with small pebble and rocky beaches). The air-conditioned villa comprises an entrance hall, a spacious, fully equipped eat-in kitchen with exceptional period furnishings, a spacious dining room for 9 people, two large living rooms, one with a panoramic veranda, four bedrooms with double beds (minimum 160x190 cm), two with private bathrooms and two with shared bathrooms, and a bedroom with a single bed (80x190 cm) and private bathroom, as well as two bathrooms serving the living area. The villa also features a laundry room with a washing machine, iron, and ironing board. The vast outdoor spaces allow you to enjoy a relaxing summer holiday. It features a recently built private swimming pool (open from April 1st to October 31st, with earlier or later activation available upon request) and a furnished outdoor dining area (with barbecue). Historic residence Villa Fontana is strategically located for easy access to the sea, natural parks such as Zingaro and the Egadi Islands, and places of great artistic and historical interest such as Segesta, Erice, Marsala, Selinunte, Palermo, Monreale, Trapani, Mothia, San Vito Lo Capo, Scopello, Castellamare del Golfo... and more. We recommend our guests rent a car to enjoy the amenities and countless nearby tourist destinations with maximum flexibility. A variety of additional high-quality services are available to pamper you and help you enjoy your vacation in complete relaxation... just ask us and we'll do our best to accommodate you! The villa is part of a complex with a second, completely separate and independent villa, which shares use of the botanical park and laundry room. A video surveillance system for security purposes covers access to the park area. CIR19081022C207640
