nvigorating long walks in the remarkably beautiful and unspoilt Zingaro Nature Reserve, refreshing dips in the turquoise waters after soaking up the sun on the soft sands of San Vito Lo Capo beach, sightseeing to explore the impressive remnants of Sicily’s past and eating out at excellent restaurants are just a few possible pastimes for guests of Il Cigno Blu.

The villetta has a front courtyard

Surrounding area: Il Cigno Blu is located in the characteristic little village of Macari on the piece of land that leads to the San Vito promontory. The interesting Macari coastline comprises a sandy beach as well as rocky coves and bays with crystal clear fish-rich waters. Just 3km away is the seaside resort of San Vito Lo Capo, which features a beautiful long sandy beach and plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants. Macari itself has a small shop just a short walk away from Il Cigno Blu and there is a good trattoria/pizzeria. Places of interest to visit nearby are the Zingaro Naure Reserve, the Reserve of Monte Cofano, the Greek temples of Segesta and Selinunte and the medieval mountaintop town of Erice which boasts breathtaking and far reaching views.

Italian Islands Insight: Guests of Il Cigno Blu would need to hire a car for initial arrival to the property, getting to nearby amenities and for sightseeing. The owner prefers not to rent the villetta to smokers and pets are not allowed.

This two-storey terraced villetta is ideal for a family or for two couples and would suit those in search of a quiet location with the option of somewhere more lively nearby for the evening out. Families and friends who like to holiday together can also rent another villetta, La Rosa dei Venti, on the same road just one door down which belongs to a friend of Il Cigno Blu’s owner.
