Italy’s top beach
On the north-western coast of Sicily, lies San Vito lo Capo an ancient fishing town with inviting, white sandy beaches and turquoise blue sea. This beautiful seaside Sicilian town was voted the top Italian beach resort for 2011 by the TripAdvisor company. A well deserved award for this town which in summer offers natural beauties to explore but also many cultural attractions and events. In September, San Vito lo Capo hosts its annual Couscous Festival which draws lots of travellers and foodies.

This beautiful Mediterranean villa is the ideal starting point for summer holidaymakers, only a few kilometres away from the fine sandy beach of San Vito lo Capo – as well as the enchanting bay of the Zingaro nature reserve.

The whole of the villa is surrounded by a lush verdant garden with a swimming pool and sun terrace, perfect for relaxation.
Blue flags and beautiful coastline
The Blue Flag certifies the services and environmental friendliness of coastal resorts, as well as the cleanliness of the water. For 2011 six Sicilian resorts have been awarded Blue Flag status by FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education) including Menfi, Pozzallo, Marina di Ragusa, Fiumefreddo di Sicilia-Marina di Cottone and the two new entries Lipari and Ispica. Blue Flags are international distinctions, created in 1987 and awarded every year in 41 countries with patronage and support from UNEP, the United Nations Environment Programme, and the World Tourism Organisation.
For those who want to spend a few days in the magical atmosphere of the island of Lipari, DiCasaInSicilia offers Nero Ossidiana, a brand new complex of modern apartments.

It is the perfect spot for anyone who loves bathing: a pebbly beach and its crystal clear sea are right on the doorstep.
Among the 14 coastal resorts of the „Blue Guide 2011“ – chosen by the Italian Touring Club and Legambiente – and awarded with 5 „sails“ for excellence and cleanliness, three are Sicilian: the top one is the enchanting island of Salina, San Vito lo Capo in second place and Noto third, the capital of the Sicilian baroque art, set in a beautiful natural area between Capo Passero and Vendicari.
