Looking for someone to share our lifestyle and appreciate nature and simple things in Marsala, Sicily, Italy

Description

We are a non-profit Italian institution. We promote and encourage awareness, practice, development and diffusion
of cultural activities related to art in all its forms.
Our charming historic villa is immersed in nature between the blue Mediterranean sea and the open horizon in Sicily. It was originally built in the 1700s. It is a rural farm, a “baglio”, a “masseria”, a typical Sicilian building with a courtyard in the front and rooms that open up on it. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves located about 500 meters from the sea, with wonderful sunset view. It is the perfect holiday hideaway with a beautiful sea view where both body and soul can regenerate, giving a positive energy.
Immersed in history and culture, close to many interesting sights as Mozia, Marsala, Trapani, Erice, Segesta and Selinunte. We collaborate with different local wine producers where you have a chance to know Sicilian wine history and taste. For those who love sport, there are famous spots of Kite surf nearby.
We have an organic vegetable garden with different varieties of vegetable and fruit. Fresh eggs from our lovely hens.
We are family of 4, an Italian father, a Japanese mother and 2 sons, 5 and 9 years old.
