Villa Ortensia has recently been meticulously restored and is located near Salemi, a charming historic town in the province of Trapani. The estate, consisting of a main villa and an adjoining guesthouse, captures the atmosphere, charm and elegance of old Sicily, offering an authentic yet refined retreat.
The interiors are warm, bright and full of character. The villa has been carefully redesigned to preserve its original features while introducing modern comforts, creating a harmonious balance between traditional Sicilian architecture and contemporary living. Soft pastel tones, coordinated curtains and textiles define the welcoming ambience, while traditional paintings and antique furniture blend seamlessly with modern amenities. The accommodation is spread across two buildings to ensure greater privacy: three individually styled bedrooms are located on the first floor of the main house, while two additional bedrooms are set within the guesthouse.
Outside, the property is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped Mediterranean garden with palm trees, ancient olive trees, flowering potted plants and expansive lawns. This serene setting frames the impressive swimming pool and pool area, inviting you to relax and enjoy long days under the warm Sicilian sun.
