Baglio Spanò Marsala Map

As they drive past the seemingly endless coastal vineyards lining the road which leads to Baglio Spanò, holidaymakers start to get the feeling that this Sicilian hideaway is going to be a very special place. This sensation is confirmed on their arrival at the ancient fortified farmhouse, the centuries old storerooms, stables and cellars of which have been converted into a truly unique Bed and Breakfast.

On the first floor of the farmhouse, the ancient Liberty style dining room has been transformed into a living area with library and television room. From the balcony which runs almost all the way around the building, a marvelous view over the vineyards and as far as the crystal clear sea surrounding Marsala can be seen.

Adorned with meticulously restored 19th century furniture, exquisite hand-painted floor tiles and precious family heirlooms Baglio Spanò's bedrooms ooze aristocratic Sicilian charm. The air conditioning is one of the few indications that time has, indeed, passed since the noble Montalto Spanò family lived here.

More than in any other room in the farmhouse, it is in the tuff arched cellars that Baglio Spanò's ancient agricultural traditions are revealed. Today, where once the estate's grapes were made into Marsala wine, a generous breakfast of Sicilian specialties is served. After a day lazing on the nearby beach or exploring the towns and cities of Western Sicily, an evening spent relaxing on one of the B&B's two patios, surrounded by the perfumes of the orange blossom and the warm sea breeze is the perfect way to enjoy the peace and tranquility of Baglio Spanò.

Three good reasons

1. A vacation in the country residence of Sicily's Montalto Spanò family
2. The coastal vineyards and wines of Marsala.
3. The delicious Sicilian breakfast served in the ancient wine cellar.
