Villa Anna, Trapani

Overview

SUMMARY: Located in Lido di Marausa, Western Sicily (near Trapani) Villa Anna lies 250m from the Mediterranean Sea. This spacious two-storey family villa can accommodate up to 10 people in its 4 bedrooms, ample garden, veranda and roof terrace on a plot measuring over 600m². There are 3 bathrooms each with a shower and toilet, a fully equipped kitchen with fridge-freezer, gas over, microwave, electric kettle, washing machine and all the cookware, crockery and cutlery you will need. Bedding and pillows are also provided. Villa Anna is set beneath two 36 year old pine trees off a private driveway that is shared with two other quiet villas, and is fully furnished inside and out and ready to occupy. You are a 5 minute walk from the nearest beach Bar and Restaurant and 10-15 minutes walk from the local beaches. There is a TV & DVD player, a library of DVDs/books/tourist guides and boardgames.


LAYOUT: The villa has a three-aspect garden and a roof terrace that allow you to find peace and quiet from even the biggest family or group. Garden furniture, seats, sun-loungers and tables are provided for your use during your stay. There is ample parking space for two cars behind the lockable gate and the garden is landscaped with a variety of indigenous plants and cacti, wooden cartwheels, palms, pines and benches. Shaded from the hot sun by pine trees there are areas in the garden to the front and rear where you can eat outside. But if sun is your thing, head for the side of the house or the roof which are tranquil sun-traps. Improved outdoor lighting means that you can use the veranda, garden and roof terrace at any time of day or night. The main bathroom and shower are inside, with a second on the first floor and a third for showering after the beach to the rear of the house. The view from the roof affords you a clear view of Medieval mount Erice just 10km away across the Sicilian countryside. Its also a good spot to some sun. At night, come upstairs to stargaze without any annoying city glare. For large groups, the first floor rooms can be used as a granny-annexe or as an additional bedroom with en-suite. If your group is small, you will still have access to the roof terrace, but the first-floor apartment will be out of bounds. We DO NOT rent the first floor apartment independently from the main house.

Trapani Area Description
Trapani & Western Sicily offer a wealth of unspoilt culture and unique activities for all the family - without the crowds of tourists. The magnificent 2000 year old amphitheatre and temple at Segesta; the majestic views of Sicily from high up on Monte Erice; the stunning beaches of 'Lo Zingaro', San Vito and the Egadi Islands and the delicious desert wine from the various Marsala cantinas are just a selection of treats within half an hour's drive or boat ride of Villa Anna. Further afield you'll find the splendours of Piazza Armerina and Agrigento's impressive Valley of the Temples - unique outside Greece. And let's not forget the stunning scenery, superb beaches, nature reserves and cuisine of the region. There's so much to do, see and experience it is hard to summarise it in a single paragraph.


We have nearly 20 years of experience and are happy to share our guests feedback with you:


:::::::::::::: C O M M E N T S & F E E D B A C K from our 2010, 2009 & 2008 GUESTS :::::::::::::

YVON, HENK, 3 CHILDREN & GRANNY (Netherlands) - MAY 2010 ::: "Thanks for a super-vacation! Everything was great. We really loved Villa Anna - it has a great cosy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home and we loved the garden with flowers and trees in which our children could play freely and safely. It was more than we expected! We can't think of anything you didn't do well and we rate your service (communication and rental) very highly – answers to questions, prompt email replies, picking us up at the airport, etc etc etc! We visited Trapani, Mount Erice, Segesta, Castellamare del Golfo, Scopello; loved the sun and sea and we really enjoyed the meals at the Marausa Beach restaurant, the fresh fish and the best pastas we've ever eaten..... I'm sure we will return to Marausa!"


AKI & 10 FRIENDS (Italy, Finland etc) - APRIL 2010 ::: (They stayed with us an extra three days when their flights were cancelled by the Icelandic Ash Cloud). "We had such an amazing time and your father is the most amazing person, we definately chose the right villa!"


JEANNIE, BRIAN & 2 CHILDREN (Scotland) - APRIL 2010 ::: "Our holiday this Easter defied the credit crunch. We experienced a bespoke Sicilian holiday on a Ryanair budget from start to finish at Villa Anna. Villa Anna and its location steal the show though. There is so much space and almost everything has been thought of for guests. We LOVED the villa. The accomodation was spacious and well appointed. The library is well stocked with lots of guidebooks and pamphlets which give plenty of ideas. The welcome basket of food was a lovely touch when we arrived. We ate out in the front garden every evening and spent lots of afternoons sun bathing upstairs on the terrace. Being so close to the sea, the city, the countryside and the airport - you could have a beach holiday one day; sunbathing at home the next; not to mention cycling in the rural countryside or shopping and people watching in the city. Your customer service is exemplary. We cannot fault you. With your Dad living nearby we felt that he was there to help us with anything yet he respected out privacy and never impinged upon it....... WE CANNOT RECCOMMEND THIS HOLIDAY ENOUGH!!! Every day there are possibilities to do different things to keep everyone amused because of the location and whilst we were there in low season we can’t wait to go back when the place is in full swing during the Summer months."


FLORENCE & HER FAMILY OF 7 (France) - OCT 2009 ::: "We spent a very enjoyable holiday at Villa Anna - the house is situated in a calm part of the resort close to the sea. The garden is great, and the Villa is a functional home and suitable for large families. We really appreciated the hospitality of the owner Mario - he does everything to help you make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Our flight arrived late and in the evening and it was a wonderful surprise to be met by Mario and his beaming smile! We feel our break was too short and hope to come back in summer time in the next couple of years. Excellent value for money. See you soon!"


GRAHAM & TERESA (UK) - SEPT 2009 ::: “We had a wonderful time and it provided the perfect antedote to the current stressful economic conditions. We both found the villa to be enchanting and we enjoyed being a part of the local community rather than being in a commercial resort. Your father was the perfect host and ensured that we were well looked after during our stay. Based on our experience, we would definitely return to chill out and savour the relaxing and friendly atmosphere."


ADE, ANDREW & THEIR 2 FAMILIES (UK) - JULY 2009 ::: "After a refreshing swim in the Med we went up 600m mount Erice by car and saw panoramic views of Sicily and again as we descended by cable car. Sicilians are friendly and helpful. Even though we didn't speak the language, neighbours helped us buy fish, giant prawns and vegetables from the mobile shops that visited the villa. The siesta between worked in our favour as the beaches were almost empty for us as temperatures reached 30°+. Our kids had a wonderful time playing football with the local children and riding on their bikes. We had a lovely time and the experience will remain with us forever. Thanks for making your villa available to us at such an affordable price, and for helping us make memories for our children."


MICHAEL, PARTNER & 3 CHILDREN (Ireland) - JULY 2009 ::: "Hi, just a quick note to let you know that we had a wonderful holiday in villa Anna and in Sicily in general. It ticked all the boxes for us and your Dad's a perfect gentleman - nothing was too much trouble for him."


ANASTASIA & 5 FRIENDS (Malta) - JUNE 2009 ::: "Thank you for the nice holidays spent in your villa. It was good value for money, and I will do my best to promote the accommodation further. Special thanks to your father being helpful with any matter, we really felt at home."


RICHARD & SYLVETTE (UK) - FEB 2009 ::: Our 6 days in villa Anna were excellent. You picked us up from the airport and took us on day trips or short visits when we asked - a huge saving on hiring a car ourselves. The villa was clean and prepared, the roof terrace and sun a treat (early Feb while temperatures were below zero in England!) and the garden very pleasant. We have already recommended the villa to our friends."


AMBER & KITT (UK) - JULY 2008 ::: "Amber and I had a wonderful holiday. In fact the best overseas holiday I can remember! We found the villa to be very comfortable and homely. Whilst we were there your father showed us around and explained all of the controls. Although I have been thinking about it, I can't think of any way our stay could have been improved. We will be in touch to sort out a longer stay hopefully next year."


ANTHONY, PARTNER & 2 FRIENDS (UK) - JUNE & JULY 2008 2008 ::: "Following our return from Sicily just a quick note to you to say that we all thoroughly enjoyed our time both in Sicily and Villa Anna. We had a great holiday and just wanted to say thank you to both you and your father who helped us out no end with guidance and assistance. I am sure we will be back again in the future. I would be grateful if you would pass our thanks onto your father, it was a pleasure to meet him!"


JAMES, KARINA, FRIEND & 3 CHILDREN (UK) - APRIL 2008 ::: "We had a great time and the weather was as good as we could have hoped for so early in the season. We even managed to go in the sea a couple of times! We found plenty of other things to do on the not so bright days and even the kids didn't complain at having to look at old ruins."
