Petrosino

Petrosino Petrosino
At Petrosino you can spend a vacation enjoying its crystal clear sea and discovering the territory and the history of its fine local wine traditions.  
The small town is nestled in the beauty of the landscape, whose profile is defined by the elevations of the ancient towers Sibiliana and Galvaga.

Petrosino has his gaze turned towards a sea with transparent backdrops and characterized by biodiversity, transited by tuna, dolphins and turtles, and the coastline offers secluded beaches – such as Torrazza– and lidos with their services, as in Sibiliana, as well as an ancient fishing village (Biscione). 

Behind the town, rows of vines cover the striking countryside like a geometric mantle.

Here there are still testimonies of an ancestral and rural past, whose memory emerges in the architectural signs of the bagli, some particularly full of history as the one owned by the English merchant who started the production and worldwide export of Marsala, John Woodhouse.

Gibellina

A town razed to the ground by the Belice earthquake and rebuilt as a single, immense work of art: the Stella di Consagra that serves as its gateway, the great white sphere of the Chiesa Madre, and a few kilometres away the Cretto di Burri, the concrete shroud enveloping the ruins of the old town.

Mazara del Vallo
The town where Sicily turns into Africa, among the Arab alleys of the Kasbah, the Dancing Satyr brought back from the sea and the largest fishing fleet in Italy

Mazara del Vallo

A maze of Islamic-flavoured alleys where Arabic still echoes, a Greek bronze fished up from the deep that dances alone in a museum, a Baroque cathedral grown over a mosque, and four hundred trawlers bringing home the famous red prawn every day. Mazara del Vallo is the point where Europe touches Africa.

Misiliscemi

Misiliscemi

Born in 2021 from the union of eight ancient hamlets, Misiliscemi is not a town but a territory: the long beach of Marausa facing the Stagnone lagoon, the salt pans of Salinagrande, the farming districts with Arabic names and the airport that is the gateway to western Sicily. Authentic Sicily, the kind you live rather than visit.
