Marsala is a beautiful coastal town and port with a diverse history but best known for its wine. The town was once favoured amongst Carthaginians after the Greek invasion of Mozia and also amongst Romans and the Arabs who used the town as a port for trade to and from Africa. There is the Museo Archeologico to discover the history of the city, Piazza della Repubblica with cathedral (dedicated in 1628 to the Archbishop of Canterbury, patron saint of Masala) and palazzi reflecting the Renaissance and Baroque period, but the narrow streets surrounding it show the Arab influence. Porta Garibaldi commemorates the landing at Marsala of Giuseppe Garibaldi in 1860 on his expedition to liberate Sicily.

Marsala is famous for its wine which was developed at the end of the 18th century and considerably improved local trade. It can be sampled in bars and restaurants in the town and can be bought from 19th and 20th century vaulted warehouses. Those with a particular interest in wine can take a guided tour with wine tasting. Also The Donnafugata Winery is just 4km towards Marsala and offers daily tours and tastings.  

The location of Villa Rita is also ideal for exploring the interesting surrounding area including the Salt Pans (14km north of Marsala), the port of Trapani and gateway to the Egadi Islands (35km), the medieval walled hill town of Erice (58km) and the ancient Greek temple and Roman amphitheatre at Segesta (52km).

The province of Trapani is universally recognised as the Queen of Wind in Sicily with southern, north-eastern, north western and western winds that work perfectly depending on the season, ideal for windsurfing and kite surfing enthusiasts: Petrosino (8km south), Capo Feto (17km south), Lo Stagnone (20km north), Pozzitello (32km south).

Selinunte (50km) was a rich and extensive ancient Greek city on the south west coast of Sicily and is the number one excursion for visitors exploring this region of the island. This huge archaeological park comprises of temples, an acropolis, ancient walls and many areas that are yet to be excavated.
