Staying in Marina di Cinisi
The gulf, the beach and the airport within reach
Marina di Cinisi is the coastal strip of the gulf west of Palermo — the same one where Falcone Borsellino airport sits. It is a practical base: you land, you arrive within minutes, and from here you can explore all of western Sicily.

The base for arriving by air
That is the concrete advantage here: the airport is very close, so the first and last day of the trip are not lost to transfers. It works well for late-evening arrivals and dawn departures too.
Heading west from here
The gulf continues towards Terrasini, Castellammare and the Zingaro reserve; inland lie Segesta and Erice, and to the south the Trapani salt pans. It is the natural starting point for western Sicily without basing yourself in Palermo.
Our home here
Villa Claudia e Simone is a detached villa for six with three bedrooms: the right format for a family or two couples who want space, their own outdoor area and the beach a short distance away.

Frequently asked questions
How far is Palermo airport?
Falcone Borsellino airport is on the same stretch of coast: this is the closest of our locations to the terminal. If you need the exact drive time from the villa, message us and we will confirm it.
Do I need a car in Marina di Cinisi?
Yes, we recommend one. The area is at its best as a base for exploring the coast and the western interior, and getting around without a car becomes awkward.
Can I reach Palermo on a day trip?
Yes, the city is an easy drive for the day. Many guests split the trip: a few nights here for the sea and the ruins, a few nights in the centre for the city.
