Property 1557152297 - Favignana - Sicily

3 Bedrooms - Pool

Location and Surrounding Area. Located on Favignana, the largest of the Egadi Islands, this modern three-bedroom villa is the perfect place for a relaxing break on one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean. Surrounded by crystal-clear sea, the Egadi Islands are three tiny scraps of land still wild for the most part. Although they are only a short hop from Sicily, arriving here is like landing in a different world. A nature reserve since 1992, Favignana and the Egadi Islands offer visitors an unspoiled maritime heritage and pristine waters rich in marine life.

Favignana, the largest of the islands, has a rugged and barren landscape. At the jagged coast, the thin soil has been scraped off to expose the tufa rock. The island is divided in two by a mountainous ridge, and its highest point is Monte Santa Caterina, topped with a fort built by the Normans and extended in the 17th century by the Spanish. Forgotten about for centuries, Favignana’s destiny is wrapped up in the blue sea that surrounds it and inevitably dictates the life of the islanders.

Traditionally, fishing and tuna are the main sources of the island’s economy, but with fish stocks in decline, tourism is growing in importance. The surrounding sea is washed by currents which leave the water clear and its treasures are revealed to visitors through boat trips and scuba diving. A boat ride around the island is a must, giving you the chance to admire the glorious landscape of coves and clear sea. In the evening, enjoy gastronomic specialties such as couscous and, of course, tuna in one of its many forms.

Nearby lie the other two islands in the archipelago. Pack some supplies and take a boat to Levanzo, the smallest island, renowned for its pebble beaches and the Grotta del Genovese, where you can admire incredible paintings dating back to the Paleolithic era. Explore Marettimo, the wildest and most unspoiled, partly because there are no cars on the island. However, the island is riddled with walking paths leading to through a harsh and barren limestone landscape to bays of extraordinary beauty.
