FAQ – Cottage Aquamarine (Menfi, Sicily)
Where is Cottage Aquamarine in Menfi, Sicily?
Cottage Aquamarine is on Sicily’s south-west coast, in the Menfi area, near the Belice river mouth.
It sits inside a private nature reserve, with maritime pines, eucalyptus, and Mediterranean scrub. This is Menfi beach Sicily, with a simple sea routine and quiet evenings. It is not a town-centre base, so plan for nature and shoreline rather than nightlife. Menfi Italy is also a wine zone, so tastings fit naturally into a beach week. For more stays on the west coast, browse: Villas in Sicily.
Is Cottage Aquamarine a true seafront cottage with beach access?
Yes. A garden path leads to a furnished pagoda by the sea, with the sandy beach just beyond.
The pagoda is set up for long beach days, with a small fridge and an outdoor shower. That keeps the day easy, especially in July and August. This is why it matches searches like seafront villas in Sicily and beachfront villas Sicily. If you want similar shoreline settings, compare: Sicily beach villas.
What is special about the bio-design pool at Cottage Aquamarine?
It is a lagoon-style bio-design pool that blends into the reserve, with colours that echo sky and sea.
The shape follows the landscape, so the pool feels part of the setting, not placed on top of it. Its tones shift through the day with the light. Terraces and lounge areas face the pool and horizon, so the view stays open. In peak weeks, the pool gives you calm water time without leaving the reserve. If private pools are a priority, browse: Villas in Sicily with pool.
How many guests can stay, and what is the bedroom layout?
The cottage sleeps 6, with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.
There are 3 double bedrooms, and 1 can be arranged as a twin. Mosquito nets are fitted on the windows, which helps in summer nights near the coast. The living and dining area faces the panorama, and the kitchen connects to the patio dining table. For more homes in the same size range, browse: Villas in Sicily.
What are the best day trips from Menfi: Selinunte and Agrigento?
Selinunte is the closest headline site, and Agrigento is the classic full-day trip from Menfi.
Selinunte works well in the morning light, then you return for a swim and a quiet lunch. You can also walk along the beach to Marinella di Selinunte in about 30 minutes and see the temples from the shoreline. Agrigento Menfi day trips fit best as a full day, then you come back to the reserve for sunset and dinner outside. For more stays built around coast and culture, browse: Sicily beach villas.
Is Cottage Aquamarine good for families, and what should you know about the reserve?
Yes. It works well for families who want outdoor space, beach access, and quiet evenings.
The layout suits a family of 6 and keeps the daily routine simple. The reserve is a park with animals, so docile donkeys and cats may appear along paths. Horses stay in a fenced area, and an aviary sits near the property border. Gates should be closed after passing through, to respect nature and protect animals. For more family-friendly stays, browse: Family villas in Sicily.
How much does Cottage Aquamarine cost per week?
Weekly rates typically range from €3,870 to €7,350, depending on season and exact dates.
Peak summer and school holidays sit at the top of the range for seafront villas in Sicily. Better value often appears in May, June, September, and early October, when the coast is calmer. When you compare Sicily beach villas, focus on details that change the day-to-day experience. Direct beach access, the pagoda, and the bio-design pool can be worth more than a lower rate without those features. Compare similar listings here: Sicily beach villas.

Siamo estremamente contenti del nostro soggiorno presso Cottage Aquamarine e auspichiamo di poter tornare al più presto. Le procedure di check-in e check-out si sono svolte in maniera semplice e molto comoda. La pulizia della villa e il cambio della biancheria sono stati impeccabili, riflettendo un alto standard di qualità. Inoltre, abbiamo trovato le forniture e le provviste all’interno della struttura ben al di sopra delle nostre aspettative, a testimonianza della grande attenzione riservata agli ospiti.

We had a fantastic three-week stay at Cottage Aquamarine. The villa was cozy and set in a beautiful, vibrant setting. The beach was easy to reach, and the food was excellent. It was exactly the kind of family holiday we were hoping for, with a warm welcome from the host.

A truly special place—pure barefoot luxury in a peaceful setting near Selinunte. Perfect for nature lovers, and even in summer likely less crowded than other parts of Sicily. In October, we had it all to ourselves. A rare find in Europe.
