Here are some suggestions that Hotel Al Madarig offers to make your stay in Castellammare del Golfo, which has been called “One of the most beautiful seaside villages in Italy” for its fortified part dating back to the Middle Ages, unforgettable:
Historic Centr
From the hotel it is possible to visit on foot the entire historic center, which includes the Mother Church dedicated to Maria S.S. del Soccorso, patron saint of Castellammare del Golfo who is celebrated every year on August 21, the Arab-Norman Castle dating back to the 12th century, the picturesque Cala Marina full of bars and restaurants and Corso Garibaldi with its pedestrian area.
Beache
In Castellammare del Golfo you are spoiled for choice on which beach to choose for swimming. Among those not to be missed, we point out the Guidaloca bay , the Faraglioni of Scopello, cala Mazzo Di Sciacca and of course the wonderful coves of the Riserva Naturale Dello Zingaro.
Natur
Nature has been particularly generous here, and to prove it you can visit the Zingaro Nature Reserve, walking along the 6 km of coastline that connects Castellammare del Golfo to San Vito Lo Capo, with the possibility of swimming in one of the wonderful coves. Equally fascinating is a visit to the caves of Monte Inici in the company of CAI, as is a trip to the salt pans of Marsala in the Stagnone Nature Reserve.
Sport
It is wonderful to visit these lands also riding your mountain bike, the combination of sea and mountains that Castellammare del Golfo offers represents a paradise for those who love to practice sports and outdoor activities.
Cultur
If you want to discover the history and traditions of Castellammare del Golfo, you can visit the “Annalisa Buccellato” Ethno Anthropological Museum located inside the castle.
The museum is dedicated to the different aspects of Sicilian civilization and preserves the objects of daily use related to agricultural crops, such as cereals, vine, olive, manna, but also real tools of the trade such as that of the blacksmith, or the shoemaker, the farrier, the tanner, etc…
Admission is free.
Not far away, in the archaeological area of Segesta, you should not miss the ancient temple and theater, where many performances are organized
Spa & Wellnes
If you feel like relaxing, you only need to reach contrada Ponte Bagni, on the river Caldo, where bubbles of hot sulfur water with a temperature of about 46-47° emerge. Here you can take outdoor thermal baths, without spending a euro!
Otherwise you can go to the private thermal establishment, affiliated with the National Health Service, where there are thermal pools and other treatments to make valuable cures.
In particular, the waters of the Segestane Baths help in dermatology and in the treatment of rheumatic diseases and respiratory tract diseases.
