Marsala

Marsala, a city of around 80,000 in western Sicily, offers a compelling blend of history and laid-back island life. Originally known as Lilybaeum, it’s a significant location in Italian history – notably where Garibaldi landed in 1860. Beyond its historical importance, Marsala is globally recognized for its fortified Marsala wine, offering opportunities for vineyard visits and tastings.

The city’s unique landscape is defined by the Stagnone Lagoon Natural Reserve, a coastal wetland with ancient salt pans. This creates a distinctive environment for outdoor activities and a slower pace of life. Marsala provides a genuine Sicilian experience, balancing local culture with accessibility for remote workers seeking a base beyond the typical tourist hotspots.
