Description

Villa Cala Azzurra is a luxurious home with a private swimming pool located on the island of Favignana, just 20 minutes by hydrofoil from Trapani. The villa enjoys a truly delightful location - nestled in a lush Mediterranean garden, the villa is just a few minutes from the azure waters of Cala Azzurra and the mythical Cala Rossa, two of the island's most beautiful bays. Perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape, the villa was built with sustainable living in mind and environmentally friendly construction methods and materials. It features a unique design inspired by the traditional architectural elements, lines, and colors of the island. This contemporary style villa consists of two adjacent complexes and boasts fabulous outside areas. Its large, equipped terraces, the well-tended garden and little swimming pool with sun terrace invite guests to spend relaxed hours in its beautiful, sunny atmosphere. Decorated and furnished throughout to an exceptionally high standard, the home offers exquisite interiors and the ultimate in luxury, comfort, and privacy. Favignana's position and easy access to the "mainland" affords guests an opportunity to visit western Sicily's most fascinating sights and the other two islands of the Egadi archipelago; the small Levanzo and wonderfully unspoiled Marettimo.

The villa sleeps up to eight guests in 140 sq. meters of space. One wing of the ground floor consists of a living room with fireplace and double sofa bed, a well-equipped kitchen (stove, oven, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, toaster), a double bedroom with walk-in closet, and a bathroom with bath and shower.

The largest of the Egadi Islands, Favignana has been described as a "butterfly-shaped" island by the Sicilian painter Salvatore Fiume (1915-1997). Favignana is a small world with an uncontaminated, crystalline sea and beautiful coves and bays offering excellent swimming and good scuba diving possibilities. Cala Rossa has become the symbol of the island because of the striking chromatic effect made by the turquoise sea and the surrounding white, tuff stone faces. This bay is historically important as well because it was here in 241 BC that the terrible battle between the Romans and the Carthaginians took place. In the lively town center of Favignana port are caf�s, restaurants, local shops, and the medieval Fort of Santa Caterina, which sits atop a hill and dominates the bay. This fort, originally built as a watchtower and then used as a prison by the Bourbon kings (1794-1860), is surrounded by a wonderful landscape of Mediterranean scrub. Getting to Favignana takes 15-20 minutes by hydrofoils from Trapani, and from here is very easy to reach and explore the other two islands of the archipelago � the small Levanzo and the rugged Marettimo � and Trapani with its old town center that has recently been restored to its former splendor.
