Holiday Home Description
SUMMARY: Located in Lido di Marausa, Western Sicily (near Trapani) Villa Anna lies 250m from the Mediterranean Sea. This spacious two-storey family villa can accommodate up to 10 people in its 4 bedrooms, ample garden, veranda and roof terrace on a plot measuring over 600m². There are 3 bathrooms each with a shower and toilet, a fully equipped kitchen with fridge-freezer, gas over, microwave, electric kettle, washing machine and all the cookware, crockery and cutlery you will need. Bedding and pillows are also provided. Villa Anna is set beneath two 36 year old pine trees off a private driveway that is shared with two other quiet villas, and is fully furnished inside and out and ready to occupy. You are a 5 minute walk from the nearest beach Bar and Restaurant and 10-15 minutes walk from the local beaches. There is a TV & DVD player, a library of DVDs/books/tourist guides and boardgames.
LAYOUT: The villa has a three-aspect garden and a roof terrace that allow you to find peace and quiet from even the biggest family or group. Garden furniture, seats, sun-loungers and tables are provided for your use during your stay. There is ample parking space for two cars behind the lockable gate and the garden is landscaped with a variety of indigenous plants and cacti, wooden cartwheels, palms, pines and benches. Shaded from the hot sun by pine trees there are areas in the garden to the front and rear where you can eat outside. But if sun is your thing, head for the side of the house or the roof which are tranquil sun-traps. Improved outdoor lighting means that you can use the veranda, garden and roof terrace at any time of day or night. The main bathroom and shower are inside, with a second on the first floor and a third for showering after the beach to the rear of the house. The view from the roof affords you a clear view of Medieval mount Erice just 10km away across the Sicilian countryside. Its also a good spot to some sun. At night, come upstairs to stargaze without any annoying city glare. For large groups, the first floor rooms can be used as a granny-annexe or as an additional bedroom with en-suite. If your group is small, you will still have access to the roof terrace, but the first-floor apartment will be out of bounds. We DO NOT rent the first floor apartment independently from the main house.
Villa Anna is child friendly and disabled accessible and we strive to accommodate all your reasonable wishes, often at no additional charge. As of May 2010, we have hosted over 300 guests, each with unique requirements. Read much more about Villa Anna and see floor-plans and photos on our own website once you CONTACT US. We have been renting our villas out since 1991 and have a wealth of experience and local knowledge. When you rent from us, you will be met at the airport, receive free local maps, itineraries, guides and manuals for the villa, and on-site help from our rep whos speaks fluent Italian and English and some Dutch. Our hard work is rewarded by frequent positive feedback - some of which can be read on the 'Area Information' tab above.

Trapani Area Information
Trapani & Western Sicily offer a wealth of unspoilt culture and unique activities for all the family - without the crowds of tourists. The magnificent 2000 year old amphitheatre and temple at Segesta; the majestic views of Sicily from high up on Monte Erice; the stunning beaches of 'Lo Zingaro', San Vito and the Egadi Islands and the delicious desert wine from the various Marsala cantinas are just a selection of treats within half an hour's drive or boat ride of Villa Anna. Further afield you'll find the splendours of Piazza Armerina and Agrigento's impressive Valley of the Temples - unique outside Greece. And let's not forget the stunning scenery, superb beaches, nature reserves and cuisine of the region. There's so much to do, see and experience it is hard to summarise it in a single paragraph.
We have nearly 20 years of experience and are happy to share our guests feedback with you:
::: C O M M E N T S & F E E D B A C K from our 2010 & 2009 GUESTS (Older feedback is on our own website) :::
SARA & 3 FRIENDS (England) September 2010 :::
"We had a fantastic stay at Villa Anna, the location of the property is brilliant for the area as you are not very far from any of the major attractions of Western Sicily. We especially liked the fact that there are two very good restaurants within easy walking distance and really enjoyed our evening strolls, especially watching & chatting to the locals as they fished. We were really pleased with the area of Trapani, this area doesn't seem to feature as much in travel guides as other parts of Sicily but there is something for everyone - beautiful beaches, nature reserve, archeological sites and of course brilliant local food & wine. All in all Villa Anna is a brilliant place to stay and is excellent value for money - Thanks for a brilliant holiday!"
BRITT-MARIE, HUSBAND & 8 FAMILY MEMBERS (Sweden) August 2010 :::
"We had a very special stay in Villa Anna, Marausa. Your father is a fantastic person who helped and served us in so many ways. We have such warm feelings about Sicily and your house Villa Anna, Tony's place (the Beach Bar Restaurant) and his family who also were very kind and helpful. I sincerely reccommend Villa Anna, Marausa, The Beach Bar and the region as a comfortable, relaxing destination with friendly, caring and genuine people."
CATHERINE, 2 FRIENDS & 2 CHILDREN (Ireland) July 2010 :::
"We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at Villa Anna. We really made use of the outdoor area. It was ideal for the children with all the trees shading them from the heat and the sun. They also loved the toys. We found your father very helpful, bringing us to the supermarket and showing us where we could purchase the local wine. The booking process was excellent. We received excellent information beforehand and during our stay. We will definitely recommend Villa Anna to others. We really hope to return again soon."
VINCENT & FAMILY (Sweden) May 2010
"Thanks for a most pleasant stay in Marausa. I definitely recommend staying at your holiday home in Trapani and have already recommended it to our friends and work mates. Villa Anna was what we expected, it is in a good location with space for all the family; nice, hot shower; a secure garden without much traffic around; an excellent BBQ grill that we used and enjoyed good meat from the local butchers on; Friendly neighbours that said hello when we passed etc. You did everything we wanted without being “sticky” to us, and provided good information about the area, the local facilities - both by E-mail, in the Villa Manual and most of all through your father. He answered our questions helpfully, suggested attractions to visit, was nearby in case anything went wrong, and brought us some wonderfully tasty mulberries off his trees. The welcome basket (and the Wine!) was much appreciated upon arrival. Your service I would rate as excellent, just what we wanted and needed. Not to much and not to little and you always left the door open for our further questions. You don’t have to improve anything - keep it going as it is! We enjoyed our holidays, the local environment, the local food and vegetables, the birds and, of course, the local wine. It will be good to hear from you in the future. We'd love to come back in a year or two!"
YVON, HENK, 3 CHILDREN & GRANNY (Netherlands) - May 2010 :::
"Thanks for a super-vacation! Everything was great. We really loved Villa Anna - it has a great cosy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home and we loved the garden with flowers and trees in which our children could play freely and safely. It was more than we expected! We can't think of anything you didn't do well and we rate your service (communication and rental) very highly – answers to questions, prompt email replies, picking us up at the airport, etc etc etc! We visited Trapani, Mount Erice, Segesta, Castellamare del Golfo, Scopello; loved the sun and sea and we really enjoyed the meals at the Marausa Beach restaurant, the fresh fish and the best pastas we've ever eaten..... I'm sure we will return to Marausa!"
AKI & 10 FRIENDS (Italy, Finland etc) - April 2010 ::: (They stayed with us an extra three days when their flights were cancelled by the Icelandic Ash Cloud). "We had such an amazing time and your father is the most amazing person, we definately chose the right villa!"
JEANNIE, BRIAN & 2 CHILDREN (Scotland) - April 2010 ::: "Our holiday this Easter defied the credit crunch. We experienced a bespoke Sicilian holiday on a Ryanair budget from start to finish at Villa Anna. Villa Anna and its location steal the show though. There is so much space and almost everything has been thought of for guests. We LOVED the villa. The accomodation was spacious and well appointed. The library is well stocked with lots of guidebooks and pamphlets which give plenty of ideas. The welcome basket of food was a lovely touch when we arrived. We ate out in the front garden every evening and spent lots of afternoons sun bathing upstairs on the terrace. Being so close to the sea, the city, the countryside and the airport - you could have a beach holiday one day; sunbathing at home the next; not to mention cycling in the rural countryside or shopping and people watching in the city. Your customer service is exemplary. We cannot fault you. With your Dad living nearby we felt that he was there to help us with anything yet he respected out privacy and never impinged upon it....... WE CANNOT RECCOMMEND THIS HOLIDAY ENOUGH!!! Every day there are possibilities to do different things to keep everyone amused because of the location and whilst we were there in low season we can’t wait to go back when the place is in full swing during the Summer months."
FLORENCE & HER FAMILY OF 7 (France) - OCT 2009 ::: "We spent a very enjoyable holiday at Villa Anna - the house is situated in a calm part of the resort close to the sea. The garden is great, and the Villa is a functional home and suitable for large families. We really appreciated the hospitality of the owner Mario - Our flight arrived late and in the evening and it was a wonderful surprise to be met by Mario and his beaming smile! We feel our break was too short and hope to come back in summer time in the next couple of years. Excellent value for money. See you soon!"
GRAHAM & TERESA (UK) - SEPT 2009 ::: “We had a wonderful time and it provided the perfect antedote to the current stressful economic conditions. We both found the villa to be enchanting and we enjoyed being a part of the local community rather than being in a commercial resort. Your father was the perfect host and ensured that we were well looked after during our stay. Based on our experience, we would definitely return to chill out and savour the relaxing and friendly atmosphere."
ADE, ANDREW & THEIR 2 FAMILIES (UK) - JULY 2009 ::: "After a refreshing swim in the Med we went up 600m mount Erice by car and saw panoramic views of Sicily and again as we descended by cable car. Sicilians are friendly and helpful. Even though we didn't speak the language, neighbours helped us buy fish, giant prawns and vegetables from the mobile shops that visited the villa. The siesta between worked in our favour as the beaches were almost empty for us as temperatures reached 30°+. Our kids had a wonderful time playing football with the local children and riding on their bikes. We had a lovely time and the experience will remain with us forever. Thanks for making your villa available to us at such an affordable price, and for helping us make memories for our children."
MICHAEL, PARTNER & 3 CHILDREN (Ireland) - JULY 2009 ::: "Hi, just a quick note to let you know that we had a wonderful holiday in villa Anna and in Sicily in general. It ticked all the boxes for us and your Dad's a perfect gentleman - nothing was too much trouble for him."
RICHARD & SYLVETTE (England) - February 2009 ::: Our stay in villa Anna was excellent. You picked us up from the airport and took us on day trips or short visits when we asked - a huge saving on hiring a car ourselves. The villa was clean and prepared, the roof terrace and sun a treat (early Feb while temperatures were below zero in England!) and the garden very pleasant. We have already recommended the villa to our friends."
