The traditional buildings of Menfi hug a coastline littered with beautiful, long, sandy beaches – sun worshippers will delight in the azure tones of the Mediterranean Sea.

Things to do in Menfi

Explore the wine country  

Menfi is ideally situated to discover the wine country of Sicily’s ‘wild west’. The heart of the wine growing region is located between Salemi and Marsala but the vineyards stretch all the way towards Menfi, nestled between the ancient sites of Segesta and Selinunte. Visit a winery to sample some of the hearty wines that are produced in this region – many are used to fortify weaker creations produced in northern Italy. However, Sicily has been undergoing something of a wine renaissance with its rich soil and temperate climate providing excellent conditions for a number of great grape varieties to thrive.

Relax on the beach 

This part of the Sicilian coast is renowned for its splendid sweeps of sand, perfect for picnics, sun-bathing and taking a refreshing dip in the shimmering waters. Porto Palo is one of the main beaches near Menfi, with a picturesque harbour bustling with bars and restaurants as well as lovely south-facing beaches.

Where next in Sicily?

After a stay in a Menfi villa, perhaps move on to the historical mountain town of Erice and take a step back in time amongst its winding lanes and cobbled streets. Alternatively, travel west to Marsala or Mazara del Vallo to enjoy succulent seafood and explore flourishing vineyards, or journey to the seaside resorts of Trapani or San Vito Lo Capo for more sun, sea and sand.
