La Dolce Vita for your palate
Sicilian cuisine is influenced by various countries and is thousands of years old. Everyone cooks differently: farmers in the vast inner Sicily, farmers in the fertile plains, as well as shepherds and fishermen, each using different ingredients. However, they all have one thing in common: a love for imagination, creativity, and color. Bold combinations of sour, spicy, salty, and sweet are turned into a delicious unity by Sicilian chefs. Pasta and fresh white bread are, of course, always present. Sicilians claim the record in Italy for their consumption of over 100 kg of pasta per person per year. The main ingredients include vegetables and seafood, refined with basil, fresh garden mint, wild fennel, and oregano. In a typical regional restaurant, a meal usually starts with an antipasto, consisting of marinated vegetables, local ham, salami, olives, mushrooms, or seafood. If you want to cater to yourself and your loved ones in a well-equipped holiday apartment or accommodation with a balcony and air conditioning, or your vacation house with a pool, you can find regional products at one of the many markets near the coast.
A holiday to dream and relax
A modern villa with Wi-Fi, a garden, and a large holiday apartment with a terrace and several bedrooms in the best location is ideal for a
vacation with a pool in Trapani & surrounding areas. Castellammare del Golfo is nestled in subtropical greenery in the heart of the Gulf, between
Trapani and Palermo. The town's landmark is a medieval castle perched on a small peninsula. Two beautiful beaches invite the whole family to bathe and relax. An impressive coastal landscape with cliffs, small bays accessible only from the sea, and the caves of Cals Rossa and Cala Bianca give the region a unique charm. The beaches are partly sandy with shallow, crystal-clear water, such as La Plaja beach; there are also pebble beaches, for example in Pandit, Marina Grande, and Guidaloca. Lido Petrolo beach is located directly below the old town, yet there are only a few visitors. From the harbor, you can take various excursions in the region and surroundings, like Balestrate, Zingaro, Segesta, or
Campofelice di Roccella. On the coast between Castellammare del Golfo and San Vito Lo Capo is the nature reserve dello Zingaro, where there are beaches on the west coast, bays, untouched cliffs of rare beauty, and hiking trails to discover one of the most beautiful parks in Sicily and Italy.
Popular sights and attractions include the 15th-century Cathedral of Madonna del Soccorso with its well-preserved frescoes. In the church of S. Maria degli Agonizzanti, with an adjoining monastery of the Holy Fathers, there is a cultural center. The Zingaro Nature Museum and the Ethnographic Museum of Marine Activities offer interesting information about Sicily's history. The picturesque village of Scopello nearby is also worth a visit. The village was built on a square where an Arabic villa once stood. Use the reviews of the respective accommodations to get a quick overview of the holiday home with modern facilities and a private pool or the holiday apartment with a balcony and Wi-Fi in Palermo & the surrounding area. Book an affordable holiday accommodation or an apartment in the city at a reasonable price for you and your family and explore numerous attractions during your stay near the coast.
