About Selinunte
Formerly one of the most powerful cities in the world, Selinunte’s remarkable ruins offer some of the most arresting coastal vistas in Sicily. Located on a high plain on Sicily’s southwest coast, this quiet area is an excellent spot from which to get your bearings. No visitor will escape the captivating beauty and history effect of this extraordinary site’s archaeological treasures.
Our luxury villas in Selinunte offer a truly relaxing getaway. The excitement of Sicily’s larger towns and cities will be accessible but it will never impinge on your relaxed realm. These rustic yet stylish villas provide serenity in scenic beauty.
Besides ruins and seclusion, it’s the incredible beaches that really attract visitors to this quiet corner of Sicily. While these are smaller than those in more popular resorts, this mean they’re also far less crowded. In fact, if you find the right cove or bay, you may even get the azure ocean and palm-tree fringed sands all to yourself. Perfect for a honeymoon or lovers’ break, a visit to Sicily doesn’t get much more romantic than this.

Tipping
You are not expected to tip on top of restaurant service charges, though leaving a small amount is common practice. If there is no service charge, you might consider leaving 10%/15%, but it is not obligatory. In bars any small change is left as a tip. Tipping taxi drivers is also not mandatory but suggested.
