The Local Area

The hotel is situated in a natural setting overlooking the Natural Reserve of Zingaro, with wonderful views yet completely immersed in an unspoilt corner of the Mediterranean. Lo Zingaro Nature Reserve encompasses 7km of rocks, caves, beaches and hiking trails.

San Vito Lo Capo is 8km from Baglio La Porta, famous for its stunning long white sandy beach lapped by turquoise sea on the north west tip of the island.  It is a small yet very popular holiday town in the province of Trapani and boasts a number of bars and trattorias open until late in the summer.

Several festivals take place throughout the year, such as a Kite festival, climbing festival and the annual Couscous festival in September when top chefs compete to create the best Couscous dish and celebrate the diverse history of Sicilian cuisine.

This area of Sicily is favoured by hikers and climbers due to the impressive mountains and caves nearby, some of which can be visited on foot or admired from the coast. There is a magnificent clifftop walk from San Vito to Lo Zingaro Nature Reserve (11km) or it can be accessed by boat. The walk leads up the slopes of Monte Speziale (913m) and encompasses panoramic views, Mediterranean macchia, some 40 different species of bird and some trails down to beautiful deserted coves and beaches.

The surrounding area of natural beauty has several towns rich in history and culture including Erice, Trapani, Palermo, Monreale and Segesta Archaeological Site boasting some great examples of ancient Greek architecture.  Boat trips are available from Castellammare del Golfo to visit the Egadi Islands and Ustica.
