Italy for me From Italy with love
There are many excellent options to stay in San Vito Lo Capo – Best Beach in Sicily. The most popular of them are family-run mini-hotels, guest houses, and apartments, including those presented in this review.
Framed by mountain peaks, one of the best resorts in Sicily region is compactly located on the shore of a beautiful bay with “Caribbean” views and a wide sandy beach, which is a rarity for a rocky and steep island. The small town is in 15-minute walk, so it doesn’t matter which part of it you settle in.
