Before choosing where to stay
Getting Around
Transport relies heavily on cars or taxis. While not directly adjacent to major transit hubs, it is accessible from Palermo, making it suitable for self-driving travelers looking to explore the Sicilian interior at their own pace.
Best Season
Spring and autumn offer mild weather perfect for walking. Summer can be hot but provides a quiet experience with fewer tourists, allowing for a deeper immersion in the local Sicilian rhythm.

Dining
Il Bavaglino
Although this restaurant now occupies new premises in an old building once used for salting fish, its style of cuisine (featured on three tasting menus, “Storie e passioni”, “Mura di Casa”, and the vegetarian “Erba Terra Foglie”, from which dishes can also be chosen à la carte style) remains unchanged. Inspired by regional traditions, chef Giuseppe Costa creates personalised and imaginative dishes that are influenced by local flavours and his past culinary experience, proving himself to be equally at ease with fish and meat options. Our inspector particularly recommends the local purple prawns
WebsiteSalotto sul Mare
Steep steps lead up to the first floor of this building, which is home to owner-chef Giuseppe Costa’s main restaurant, Il Bavaglino. Here, the veranda-style dining room boasts spectacular views with the azure sea extending in all directions. The good, honest cuisine is full of flavour and simply prepared from top-quality ingredients, all showcased on an à la carte and three tasting-style menus that are perfect for sharing. In addition to an interesting wine selection, there’s also a choice of cocktails which offer a perfect alternative, even at lunchtime.
