Santa Flavia - Old town

The map (Google Maps) of the old town of Santa Flavia offers you an overview of some things to see, its shopping facilities, the stops of the Santa Flavia Shuttle and the exact location of the Solemar Sicilia holiday lettings.

Below you will find a list of all Sicily - All in one Place maps.

The old Sicilian nobility built beautiful baroque villas and Santa Flavia also has one such gem to offer.

Together with the Basilica Soluntina di Sant'Anna, Villa Filangeri offers you a glimpse of feudal times long past.

A real Sicilian villa has a large garden and the nobles in Santa Flavia also had green oases. The recipe for a real Mediterranean garden: refreshing water features, divine statues, palm trees and, of course, lots of flowers.

It's worth discovering the garden as a place to relax, sit on a bench, listen to the fountain and gaze up at the sky through the treetops.

The "Aciddara" beach is popular because of its sandy beach. The local residents agree, but were understandably annoyed by the many cars parked there.

For this reason, the access road has been blocked with gates for several years, to which only residents have a key, of course.

However, visitors from outside can slip through a narrow "gate in the gate". Unfortunately, bicycles do not fit through there. However, they can easily be connected to the "blue railing" of the country road.

Water is exactly your element? But do you quickly get bored on the beach?

Then we have an insider tip for you: Club Nautico Solanto is one of the many hidden gems of Santa Flavia.

Here you can go stand-up paddling, water skiing and diving, and in summer the club is a paradise for little water lovers:

The "Secche di Solanto" ("secche" means "shoal") is a small, free beach that is hardly known even to locals. It can be reached via a piece of land that was confiscated by the mafia and was therefore no longer used.

Fortunately, the mayor of Santa Flavia managed to "liberate" the property in 2023. The two gates of the property are therefore open to everyone from 9:00 to 19:00. The wind occasionally blows them shut again, but you can easily open the gates again. You can also take your bike down to the beach.

Once there, you will come across a 400 metre long lagoon with small sandy beaches. You can easily recognise them if you switch our Map to "satellite". As you can see, the "Secche di Solanto" is a beach for those who don't really like beaches.

The 'Porto di Spagna' is a private beach. For your entrance fee, you can not only swim, but also learn to swim, surf, sail and even dance. Those, who are afraid of water can play volleyball, tennis and table tennis. Of course, your physical well-being is also catered for at the "Porto di Spagna".

Santa Flavia is located just outside Palermo and is the perfect base camp for excursions without a car.

The railway station in the village makes it easy to travel by train along the seafront to Palermo in 20 minutes and to Cefalù in an hour.

The Santa Flavia Shuttle, which was introduced in 2024, also starts here at the station. It connects the train station with the urban centres, beaches and many sights of Santa Flavia free of charge!

It's November. You're sitting in front of your favourite bar in the sun and treating yourself to a delicious ice cream.

You need to be back in your home office in half an hour. An important customer wants to discuss your latest drafts via video conference. Good that you have a fast fibre optic connection.

But then it's back out into the fresh air. To the sea to your favourite place. That's where you always get the best ideas.

It's a good thing that the local expat service found this flat with a home office for you:
