Case Vacanza nelle isole minori della Sicilia
Cala Rossa Favignana
La Sicilia comprende anche diverse isole minori, esattamente 14; alcune facenti parte di piccoli arcipelaghi come quello delle Eolie, delle Egadi e delle Pelagie, altre come Ustica e Pantelleria isolate, l’una a nord di Palermo, l’altra a metà strada tra la Sicilia e l’Africa.
Pur essendo quasi tutte di origine vulcanica, ognuna di esse, anche all’interno del medesimo arcipelago, presenta caratteristiche differenti.
Il comune denominatore tra tutte esse è la bellezza del mare circostante e la preziosità dei fondali, che fanno di tutte queste piccole isole dei paradisi per i viaggiatori che vogliono godere appieno delle bellezze naturalistiche della Sicilia o vivere, in modo più approfondito e da veri intenditori, il mare siciliano.
Il voler condividere questa meravigliosa natura è stato l’input per la selezione di un catalogo “per tutti i gusti” di case vacanza a Favignana, così come a Panarea, a Pantelleria e ad Ustica.
Case vacanza, tutte selezionate secondo la cura che contraddistingue il nostro lavoro e che consentono ai viaggiatori di trascorrere dei soggiorni indimenticabili “come a casa propria” circondati da un mare incontaminato.
Cefalù
On the northern coast, 75 kilometers east of Palermo, from which it is about forty-five minutes by car, a bit longer on an express train, Cefalù (with the accent on the last syllable) is a medieval town built on the site of an ancient Sicanian and Greek settlement. Its name derives from the Greek word for a cape; the ancient city was called Cephaloedion. Except for a few archeological items in the local museum, all that remains of these ancient cultures today is a small structure, the Temple of Diana, on the mountain overlooking the town. The foundation of this simple enclosure is said to be one of the oldest structures still standing in Sicily. Though the fortress itself crumbled long ago, the battlements atop the mountain were built during the Norman rule of the island in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. A few segments of this outer wall are restorations; most are original. For the stout hearted, the summit, with its magnificent view of the town, cathedral, mountains and sea, is well worth the climb.

Netural Reserve of Vendicari
L’Oasi di Vendicari has been a nature reserve since 1984.
Today it is internationally recognised as one of the most vital coastal reserves in Europe, attracting 100s of species of migratory birds every year.As well as seeing typical Mediterranean maquis in all its splendour, you can swim in crystal-clear waters, and walk for miles along beaches of fine white sand. It is not for nothing that people compare the beach at Cala Mosca with those of the Caribbean!
Panarea – Aeolian Islands
Panarea – whose name comes from Panaraia (all disjointed) – is the smallest isle of the Aeolian islands: it’s 3,400 kmq large and it is 11,5 miles from Lipari. It has always been very little populated and thanks to its remoteness and wonderful sea, it’s now the most loved isle in the archipelago. Some time ago, many people – who had arrived in Panarea as visitors – decided to buy land and ruins, which, once restored according to the local style – have made it the poshest isle in Sicily.
Its small size and little alleys – lighted only by torches – prevent cars to spoil the atmosphere, which is absolutely amazing.
Panarea is an exclusive isle and you can easily realize it watching the many huge yachts parked in the best spots – such as Cala Junco – and the helicopters landing strip.
Besides the gorgeous nature and the interesting architecture, Panarea has a great night life: high standard restaurants for the most exigent gourmets from all over the world, discos on the sea, exclusive shops. Once you come here, you’d like to stay forever!
