Cas'almare

Western Sicily


This stylish resort right at the water's edge has only five rooms, all converted from an old fisherman's house, with lovely views of the sea and the striking rock formations just offshore, which shelter natural warm pools for guests to soak in. Watching the sunset from the romantic, gold-stone roof terrace is a highlight.

Room rates drop by 50% in low season (April and October).
