Romantic atmosphere

Villa Altair is located along the Val di Mazara Wine Route, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves that provide breathtaking views of the Sicilian countryside. Nestled within a historic 19th-century farmhouse known as a “baglio,” which has been recently renovated, the villa retains the charm of traditional rural Sicilian architecture, offering a unique atmosphere for those looking to enjoy the serenity of the countryside while still having access to modern comforts.

The name “Altair” is derived from one of the brightest stars in the sky, symbolizing the connection to nature and the incredible starry sky that envelops the villa at night. The wine produced by Cantine Giglio, made from organic farming, also carries the name “Altair” and can be sampled on-site.

The property features spacious and bright rooms with private bathrooms, decorated in a rustic Sicilian style and overlooking a peaceful inner courtyard. Each room is designed to ensure maximum relaxation. The expansive garden, which includes vineyards, olive groves, aromatic plants, and a vegetable garden supplying many of the ingredients used in the kitchen, is enhanced by a swimming pool created from an old water reservoir.

Guests can enjoy a breakfast rich in typical Sicilian delicacies and, upon reservation, participate in tastings, aperitifs, and dinners featuring local produce. Villa Altair also offers a range of services, including transfers to and from airports, partnerships with beach facilities, boat excursions, vehicle and boat rentals, and culinary activities such as visits to wineries and olive oil mills, especially during harvest seasons. Cultural tours are also available, including explorations of the historic center of Mazara del Vallo, with its distinctive Arab quarter.

Just 2 km from the historic center of Mazara and close to the beautiful white sandy beaches of Tonnarella and the rocky coastline of Quarara, Villa Altair serves as an ideal base for discovering the natural and cultural wonders of western Sicily, such as the Capo Feto Reserve, the Egadi Islands, the Selinunte Archaeological Park, and the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento.

Staying at Villa Altair means experiencing something truly unique, blending sun, sea, nature, culture, and tradition. We look forward to making your vacation in Sicily unforgettable.
