The ideal place for those who love living in an uncontaminated natural context
The village of Macari , protagonist with its unforgettable views of the Rai drama, "Màkari", is a small hamlet of San Vito Lo Capo immersed between the Zingaro mountains and the sea. A handful of houses from which you can enjoy unforgettable sunsets over the vast gulf of Monte Cofano. Here life passes slowly, traffic is a memory and the only sound you hear in the morning is the birds singing.
Macari
Macari, lying halfway up the slope, dominates a precious stretch of cliff sloping down to the sea onto which the beautiful pebble beaches of Bue Marino and Isulidda open up and, a little further on, the golden sand beach of Baia Santa Margherita. Wild and uncontaminated corners of the sea.
Behind it, the mountains of the Zingaro Reserve and a long Dolomite wall, a five-minute drive from the beach of San Vito Lo Capo.
It is mandatory to stop for a few minutes at its viewpoint to capture with a single glance the extraordinary panorama that ranges from the Torre dell'Isulidda to the Monte Cofano Reserve... one of the most evocative panoramas that western Sicily offers us, impossible to forget.
Castelluzzo
A single road leads to San Vito Lo Capo , crosses the Sicilian countryside and connects the seaside village to its two small villages: Castelluzzo and Macari.
Crossing the long avenue of Castelluzzo , lined with beautiful palm trees, overlooked by the houses, the small church and the ancient olive groves of which the area is rich, is immediately thrilling. In the background the cobalt blue of the sea peeks out, the Mediterranean scrub leaves room for local crops and the large plain that reaches down to the sea.
On one side the high peaks of the Zingaro Reserve , on the other the hills surrounding the bay overlooked by the Monte Cofano Reserve.
A quiet place where you immediately feel at home, immersed in nature.
Castelluzzo is famous for its fragrant and scented oil, capable of giving flavor to any dish. For some years, BAGLIO OLIO E MARE has been held here, an event dedicated to the goodness of its popular cuisine and its zero-mile ingredients.
Those who love having quiet holidays away from the crowd, while simultaneously enjoying the beauty of the sea and the countryside, cannot make a better choice, also because Castelluzzo is an excellent logistical base for visiting the artistic beauties and numerous natural areas of the surrounding area.
A few kilometers from here there are many suggestive locations, such as the ancient Segesta, the medieval village of Erice, the thousand-year-old salt pans of Trapani and the Phoenician island of Mozia... you will be spoiled for choice!
