Hotel in Custonaci, Capo San Vito, Sicily

Villa Zina Park Hotel, Custonaci

This four-star country resort hotel is located just behind the Capo San Vito, a peninsula on the north-west coast of Sicily which is now a well-tended nature reserve. It's a beautiful setting for the luxurious Villa Zina Park Hotel , Custonaci, which enjoys beautiful views over the clear waters of the cape, with the towering presence of Mount Cofano overlooking the rocky coves of the bay. Rare eagles have even occasionally been spotted hovering in the skies above the terrace restaurant. The hotel is just 20 minutes' drive from the medieval city of Erice, on the summit of Mount San Giuliano. With its narrow stone streets, pre-Roman external walls, the battlements of the Norman castle, the Gothic cathedral and the typical houses with their Arab-style courtyards, Erice is certainly worth a visit. The ruined temple and theatre at Segesta are not far away, or visit Castellammare del Golfo, a pretty small fishing port - tuna fishing was once vitally important to this coast.

The hotel is built in a style that recalls the traditional architecture of the area, and it offers 76 double rooms, six junior suites and six suites. All are bright and modern in style, and fully equipped with air conditioning, direct-dial phones, and complimentary beauty products. The terrace restaurant serves delicious local specialities, and there is a comfortable downstairs lounge. In the grounds, there is an outdoor swimming pool with sun-loungers. There is a free car park and transport to the airport can be arranged.
