Vacation home with a breathtaking view in the historic old town of Sciacca

Experience authentic Sicily at Villa Venezia, a lovingly furnished historic townhouse in the heart of Sciacca’s Old Town—a picturesque port city on Sicily’s sunny southern coast. For me, Villa Venezia is so much more than just a holiday home. It’s a place I love to return to time and again to enjoy the special charm of the historic centre, the hustle and bustle of the harbour, and the relaxed Sicilian way of life. This is exactly the feeling I’d like to share with you.

Villa Venezia is located right in the heart of the historic centre and is the ideal starting point for exploring the winding alleys, cosy cafés, traditional restaurants, and small shops of the old town on foot. The lively fishing harbour and the beach promenade are also within easy reach.

A special highlight of Villa Venezia is the spacious rooftop terrace with its stunning panoramic view. From here, you’ll enjoy a unique vista: let your gaze wander from the imposing cathedral over the rooftops of the historic Old Town and out to the sparkling Mediterranean Sea., Whether it’s breakfast in the morning sun, a relaxing afternoon, or a glass of wine at sunset—this view makes every moment special.

Villa Venezia offers two cosy bedrooms with comfortable double beds and is the ideal place for couples, families, or friends who want to experience authentic Sicily in a special atmosphere.

A centrepiece of Villa Venezia is the traditional, brick-built Sicilian kitchen. As a passionate amateur chef, I’ve furnished it with great attention to detail and fully equipped it—from high-quality cooking utensils and kitchen appliances to a wide selection of spices., If you enjoy cooking, you’ll find the perfect conditions here to transform fresh ingredients from Sicilian markets and the day’s catch from the harbour into delicious Mediterranean dishes.

Just a few minutes from the old town, several beautiful, fine-sand beaches with crystal-clear water invite you to swim, sunbathe, and relax. Sciacca thus perfectly combines the lively atmosphere of a historic port city with relaxing days by the sea.

Sciacca is known for its traditional ceramic art, its thermal springs, the historic city centre, and its outstanding Sicilian cuisine. From Villa Venezia, you can reach numerous attractions in southern Sicily—including the world-famous Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, the impressive Selinunte Archaeological Park with its monumental temple complexes, and many other historical sites and stunning natural landscapes. The lively island capital of Palermo, with its magnificent architecture, colourful markets, and unique cultural charm, is also just over 90 minutes away by car and is perfect for a varied day trip.

Whether you want to enjoy relaxing days at the beach, discover the island’s culinary delights, stroll through the alleys of the old town, or simply let your gaze wander over the rooftops to the sea from the rooftop terrace of Villa Venezia—here you can leave everyday life behind and experience Sicily with all your senses.

I look forward to welcoming you to Villa Venezia. Perhaps you’ll fall in love with Sciacca just as much as I have—and will be happy to return here time and again.
