About this property
Villa Olietta is an elegant 18th-century residence surrounded by olive and citrus groves, offering a wonderful setting within a working organic estate in western Sicily. Full of character, the charming villa combines traditional architecture with refined interiors, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for families or groups. The spacious ground floor is designed for sociable living, with open-plan living and dining areas, while a striking living room with six-metre ceilings adds a real sense of scale and light.
The villa accommodates up to 11 guests across five bedrooms, with a mix of en-suite and additional bathrooms providing flexibility and comfort. Outside, the generous garden is designed for enjoying the Sicilian climate, with a large private swimming pool at its centre, surrounded by sun loungers. A covered veranda with an outdoor dining area offers a shaded space for meals, whether for long lunches or relaxed evenings together.
The location allows for easy exploration of the surrounding area, with the beaches near Selinunte within reach, along with local towns such as Castelvetrano for shops and dining. With its combination of space, setting and traditional charm, Villa Selvira offers a relaxed and authentic Sicilian experience.
In the western part of Sicily, Villa Olietta enjoys a fantastic position for exploring both the coast and the island’s cultural highlights. Just a 5-minute drive away, Castelvetrano offers a convenient base for everyday needs, with a selection of shops, restaurants and cafés, as well as a glimpse into local Sicilian life. The nearby coastline around Selinunte is equally appealing, with sandy beaches such as Marinella and Triscina, as well as the natural landscapes of the Belice River Nature Reserve, perfect for relaxed days by the sea.
The surrounding countryside is known for its vineyards and olive groves, while nearby attractions include the ancient ruins of Selinunte and the historic quarries of Cave di Cusa. A little further afield, you can visit the coastal town of Mazara del Vallo or explore destinations such as Marsala, Segesta and Agrigento. With so much within reach, this location offers an excellent base for discovering the diversity of western Sicily.
