Its unique setting takes full advantage of the amazing views across the vineyards across to the sea. This elegant country retreat is a stone’s throw away from one of Sicily’s famous vineyards Planeta and its fantastic restaurant. This particular area is renowned for its wine production and produces some of Sicily’s finest wines.

The Area

Nestling in the beautiful countryside of Menfi, Le Due Cicale is just a few miles from the old fishing village of Portopalo di Menfi with its superb coastline.
The area is well known for its unspoilt beaches, which have been awarded the “Blue Flag” (certifying the cleanliness of the water as well as recommending them as safe for children), and for its fine wine production. Many wineries offer tasting tours throughout the year.

The house is not far from Sciacca, a pretty fishing village with many shops and restaurants, which is famous for its coral and ceramics, and for the carnival that takes place there every year.
For bicycle lovers, we recommend the old disused railway, now a cycle path, to reach Sciacca, Selinunte and Castelvetrano, surrounded by beautiful countryside.
The largest archaeological park in Europe, Selinunte Acropolis, is only a 10 minute drive away. Within an hour, it’s also possible to visit the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, an impressive array of ancient monuments, and the finest example of classical culture in Sicily.

Segesta and Erice, old Greek (Elymian) settlements are also easily reachable by car and well worth a visit!
For a stunning view in a unique landscape we also suggest a trip to the Salt Pans between Trapani and Marsala and the Islands of the Lagoon.
A little bit further north you can visit San Vito Lo Capo and the Zingaro Nature Reserve. Then, not to be missed, the Egadi Islands are easy to reach by boat from Marsala or Trapani and the perfect place for snorkelling or diving.
For all golf lovers, Verdura Resort with its amazing golf courses is just 20 minute driving.
Finally, Erice, one of the most beautiful medieval village in Italy is only one and a half hour driving and well worth a visit! This little town is very famous for the amazing view on Egadi Islands and Trapani Salt Pans.

Our stay at Le due Cicale was excellent overall.

Our stay at Le due Cicale was excellent overall. The villa itself is clean, modern, spacious, private, well stocked and extremely comfortable, with quality air-conditioning in all bedrooms and fans available for the large living area. The pool, although a touch on the smaller side, is perfectly good for kids and cooling off, and was cleaned several times during our 7 day stay, the surrounding area was also very pleasant for sunbathing and relaxing with beautiful views. The staff were extremely friendly and polite and we were very well looked after, rubbish was cleared every other day at least and the cleaner was very accommodating with working around us. The surrounding region is beautiful, many fantastic shops, beaches, vineyards and restaurants available within a few minutes drive, even in May, though you will find many of googles opening hours to be incorrect, so phoning ahead is a good idea. Would happily recommend this location for a quieter, less touristy experience with stunning beaches, food and friendly locals.

We loved our stay in our villa!

We loved our stay in our villa. Select Sicily were a pleasure to work with, they were always on hand to answer any questions as we made our booking. Great communication! The villa itself was fantastic and everything we wanted. The welcome basket was a lovely addition and featured local products - perfect for those who arrive late and want to make a quick meal. I highly recommend Select Sicily!

Ci tornerei anche domani... consigliatissima!

Siamo stati a "Le Due Cicale" alla fine di settembre e abbiamo ricevuto un' ottima accoglienza. La villa è una cosa strepitosa circondata dalle vigne e immersa nella campagna sicula da cui si scorge la vista del mare. Che dire ideale per una vacanza di lusso all'insegna della tranquillità e del relax. Ci tornerei anche domani... consigliatissima!

We had a wonderful time in Le Due Cicale

We had a wonderful time in the house Le Due Cicale. The great house is located in the middle of the vineyards with a beautiful view. The house has everything you could wish for, the equipment was great. The price is justified. Everything also worked out great with Aldo, who was very helpful. Gladly again....

First time dealing with Select Sicily…

First time dealing with Select Sicily but I doubt it will be the last. Professional and very helpful. We had a wonderful villa near Menfi for my 60 th with my family including 2 under 2 grandchildren. The villa was much better than even expected and I would highly recommend the use of the shopping service ready for arrival for 40 euros plus food costs it just got us straight into the holiday Grazie to Aldo Lavinia and Rosa

A beautiful house!

A beautiful house well equipped in a nice area. Everything was close : beach, restaurants, supermarket but the area was very calm. The agency was very responsive to all our questions. Nice to have a cleaning in the middle of our stay and a garderner to take care of trash cans and to bring you every morning figs.

Le Due Cicale: a villa with a view

We spent a wonderful 12 days holiday in Le Due Cicale villa offered by SelectSicily. The online pictures did not do justice to the space and beautiful views offered from the villa’s enormous terrace. All the bedrooms were of a similar size and had en-suite facilities. The pool was cleaned regularly and provided the perfect place to cool down and relax. The villa provided a very comfortable and spacious inside area. The agent Aldo was so helpful and responded straightaway if we had any questions. Beautiful safe, sandy beaches are within a 10 minute drive and there are so many options for a morning, evening or whole day out. We would definitely book Le Due Cicale again.

Great experience renting villa through Select Sicily

We had a fantastic one week stay with our family at villa Le Due Cicale close to Menfi. We were extremely satisfied with the service offered by Select Sicily and would warmly recommend them to anyone looking to find a good holiday villa in Sicily. The villa was even better than what the pictures and information on the website promised and we are especially thankful to Aldo from Select Sicily for his help in getting to know the area. We will definitely be booking villas via Select Sicily also in the future!

Highly recommended!

Our family had an amazing stay at the Le Due Cicale villa! The villa is even more beautiful in real life. The view is just breathtaking. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were even welcomed with two bottels of wine of the local vineyards (Mandrarossa)! Also, the location is perfect. The villa is located near the beach (5 min ride) and near several restaurants. Highly recommended!

Best Holiday in Sicily!

My wife and I had a lovely holiday in the villa Le Due Cicale. The pictures on the website we're very accurate and representative of the condition and location of this lovely Villa the middle of a wine vineyard. The property manager Aldo was very nice and welcomed us to the house. Gave us excellent recommendations on things to see in the area including restaurants historic sites and wine vineyards. We will definitely book for this website again and look forward to returning next summer.

Beautiful accommodations and impeccable service.

My husband and I have rented a villa through Select Sicily for four years in a row, just returning from another lovely stay. We are from the U.S. and have high expectations for accommodations. Select Sicily does not disappoint. Aldo is extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. We like that Select Sicily is a local Sicilian company. Not only does this provide deeper insight into the place and all it has to offer, it supports the local economy--something we believe travelers from abroad should care about. The villa itself offers a peaceful and sublime setting--sea views beyond rolling hills of vineyards. The house is spacious and well-equipped; clean and comfortable. The support staff are kind and lovely people. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Stunning Villa Le Due Cicale

The villa looks good on the photos but is even better when you get there. Very comfortable with a huge living room and kitchen, perfect for a family holiday. The views from the porch across the vineyards to the sea are beautiful and there is no traffic noise. The beach at Lido dei fiori is 3km away and worth a visit. The Greek temples of Selinunte are a 15 min drive away and those of Agrigento and Segesta about 1 to 1h30 away. Villa Le Due Cicale made our stay in Sicily very enjoyable.

Meget dejligt hus. Fin fin standard og fornemt indrettet alt er der. Flot udsigt o er vinmarker og havet. Vær blot obs på at der er ca 7 km til nærmeste supermarked. Dejlig strand ca 5 min kørsel fra huset.

Like a paradise!

Our family (4 people) with two friends have spent two magical weeks in the Villa Le Due Cicale. The property was maintained very well - we saw wine fields and the sea from our terrasse. In the evening the terrasse was nice and cosy. The furniture and equipment has been perfect and Rosa Maria cooked soooo good for us!! Aldo gave us a warm welcome and helped us, wherever he could. The pool was fresh and clean and we enjoyed it to swim every morning. The place ist protected and we felt so well there. We enjoyed the vegetable garden and wine tress surrounding the villa. The gardener and the staff has been so friendly! Day trips to Sciacca, Agrigento area, Selinunte, Sambuca, Valle del Mazara etc. were very easy from this location. It was an outstanding Villa, hard to leave at the end of two beautiful weeks.
