The taste and beauty that lead to the heart of an unforgettable territory!
Our Sicily has always been a privileged land, ever since ancient civilizations in past centuries began to live there and make it precious for the many reasons we know today: from art to culture, from popular traditions to that deep sense of hospitality that distinguishes us in the world.
There are also riches kept in the earth by seeds, still green shoots or flowers that patiently wait to transform into fruit and that in every season give their best through exquisite Mediterranean flavors.
This magic is before our eyes every day, in the territory of San Vito Lo Capo!
Well yes, in addition to the sea and the golden beach, one of the treasures of this territory is represented by the farmers' crops and the natural and spontaneous crops.
Travelling along the only road towards San Vito Lo Capo you will realise how Mother Nature has been extraordinarily generous with this territory!
In this period when the days begin to lengthen and the cold slowly goes away, the almond trees begin to awaken showing us the delicate buds that open as if they wanted to suggest to us in advance that the freshness of spring is about to arrive.
It is a spectacle to be able to stay a few minutes under these trees and observe up close the beauty of its flowers that will soon give their precious fruit: the Sicilian almond.
Aromatic and tasty, it is the extra touch of class in Sicilian recipes, such as in pesto alla trapanese and in couscous and, the absolute protagonist in the pastry making of the entire island, with almond paste sweets.
Before arriving in San Vito Lo Capo, you cross an ancient valley of olive trees, the peasant village of Castelluzzo where the production of extra virgin olive oil represents excellence in taste and organoleptic qualities. A green carpet dotted with iridescent foliage accompanies us to the sea, and perhaps it is precisely the scent of the sea that gives this oil its unmistakable flavor.
Wild along the paths, bushes of aromatic herbs grow, such as rosemary, sage or trees like laurel that perfume the air around, and are essential ingredients to enhance the flavors in fish-based recipes.
But among the values that make a holiday in Sicily unforgettable there is also hospitality.
In Castelluzzo you can experience Sicilian hospitality at the Bed & Breakfast Alba Marina.
Nino and his family will welcome you in an environment created inside a typical Sicilian baglio, their courtesy and friendliness will make you feel immediately at home.
The location, convenient for travel, both towards the seaside areas and towards the tourist destinations of the hinterland, makes the B&B Alba Marina the best choice for those who love to know and explore new places.
Baia Santa Margherita, Bue Marino, Isulidda and of course the beach of San Vito Lo Capo are just a 5-minute drive from the B&B, while the legendary towns of Erice, Segesta and Scopello are 40 minutes away.
Choosing the B&B Alba Marina (watch the video) will give you the opportunity to save and at the same time make you feel super pampered.
It's nice to wake up and find a rich and genuine breakfast prepared by Mamma Teresa, with the inevitable pane cunzato, seasoned with oil, oregano, anchovies, fresh tomato and pecorino cheese, cabbucetti, cooked in a wood oven, accompanied by olives, exquisite cheeses and cured meats... not to mention the homemade desserts, jams, citrus juices and seasonal fruit.
With WiFi you can share your best moments right from the morning!
If you are traveling with other friends, between one activity and another, you can relax with them in the gazebo surrounded by beautiful orange and olive trees.
And what do you say, after a nice walk with our mountain bikes (free), about a nice barbecue in the barbecue area?
Leaving will be the most difficult thing, but you will be able to experience the beauty of these uncontaminated places until the last minute thanks to the possibility of using the Courtesy Room, with a small living room and bathroom-shower, free of charge.
If you want to think only about having fun, do not hesitate to ask Nino to also take care of the transfer to and from the airport or the organization of any excursions.
