Just a few minutes from Sicily, on the wild Island of Favignana, the refined and elegant Villa Faro is the perfect place to appreciate the unspoilt nature, the splendid beaches and coves with crystalline sparkling waters, and to dive into both the sea and the island’s traditions: from the fascinating fishing village, to the memories of the “mattanza” (traditional Mediterranean tuna fishing).
It’s the ideal location for enjoying the wonders of the underwater world, for lovers of the sea and associated activities.
Villa Faro is immersed in a splendid 15,000 m2 Mediterranean garden, a natural oasis of native bushes, plants and flowers. It’s perfect for those truly relaxing moments, caressed by the sea breeze, spent between the inviting solarium, the gorgeous swimming pool with its warm Sicilian tones, and the tempting barbecue.
The villa gives off an airy and light feeling with the neutral tones of the concrete used for the flooring and the whitewash plaster used for the exterior, conferring a spacious brightness to the outside areas.
There is a Mediterranean imprint everywhere in order to maintain a continuous dynamic connection to the outdoors. The shapes and designs which define the space have been developed to work with the light, the shade, and the direction of the wind.
The villa is spread over two wings which house two suites filled with light. Each has an airy independent living area, an open-space kitchen, three bedrooms, of which 2 are en suite, and three delightful bathrooms.
From indoors you can enjoy a breath-taking panoramic view. The large sliding windows guarantee brightness and harmony inside, maintaining the unique, continuous connection between indoors and outdoors.
Outside, two steps lead to the terrace, furnished with chairs and cushions, which has a superior view over the island’s beautiful sights.
Outside you’ll also find the fitness area equipped with TRX equipment for suspension training.
The villa is located just a few minutes by bus or by bicycle from the crystal waters of Cala Azzurra and Bue Marino, and from the island’s historic centre, where you’ll find multiple restaurants, pubs, local businesses, churches, the characteristic port, and the famous Tonnara Florio.
Favignana is a fantastic spot for those who want to explore the surrounding area. The hydrofoil will take you to Marsala in less than half an hour, and from there you can visit the town, the Stagnone nature reserve, and the small island of Mozia, an important Phoenician site. Alternatively, if you disembark at Trapani, you can enjoy the capital of salt and wind, and head towards Erice or San Vito Lo Capo.
In either case, you’ll enjoy both the taste of the Mediterranean and the breeze of history.

Local information:
Favignana called Aegusa by the Romans (Pliny 23-79 AD) is an enchanting and mythical place, bathed in extradinary light giving intense colour to the landscape, and caressed by warm breezes from Africa. This is an untamed island of superb natural beauty where you can lose yourself while experiencing the transparent turquoise sea, enjoying the flavours and scents reminiscent of Mediterranean traditions and delicious regional cuisine.
The island is undulating and has innumerable white sandy beaches and spectacular coves with easy access to crystal clear water. Favignana’s flat expanses make it an ideal place for cycling and visiting the island in a relaxed fashion.
