About Alcamo
Alcamo is a town of about 45,000 people at the foot of Monte Bonifato, in a district known for wine. Bianco Alcamo, made mainly from catarratto grapes, is the local name to look for, and a farmers' market runs on Friday mornings in Piazza Bagolino. The old centre has a castle, a basilica and Piazza Ciullo. Our homes are scattered through the town and countryside rather than grouped in a resort. Most have a private pool and a garden, many sleep eight or more, and all have air conditioning. The beach is at Alcamo Marina, a long strip of fine sand with the railway close behind it. The marina is mainly a summer resort, so expect it to be quiet once the season ends.
Is Alcamo right for you?
- Best for
- Groups wanting a pool and space, with sand a short drive away
- Not for you if
- You want to walk to the sea in the evening, since the sand is a drive from the town.

When to go to Alcamo
Summer is beach season, and Alcamo Marina gets very busy then. The town bus to the shore runs from mid-June to September, so outside those months you will be driving. Spring suits a walk up Monte Bonifato to the castle ruins. The farmers' market fills Piazza Bagolino on Friday mornings, and once summer ends the marina, mainly a summer resort, goes quiet. Check opening times for the reserve before you go.

Alcamo villa holidays: questions answered
Is there a beach in Alcamo?
Not in the town itself. The nearest sand is at Alcamo Marina, a fine-sand beach about 6 km from the centre, mostly free to use apart from a few stretches near hotels and lidos. It is very busy in summer.
Which airport do you fly into for Alcamo?
Palermo, which is about 42 km away on the A29. Trapani-Birgi is the other option at 54 km. Palermo is the closer of the two, and the motorway junction at Alcamo Est puts you straight onto the road to the town.
Is Alcamo a good base for north-west Sicily?
Yes, if you are happy driving. Castellammare del Golfo is about 5 km from Alcamo Marina, Scopello about 16 km and San Vito lo Capo about 49 km, and the town itself is about 50 km from both Palermo and Trapani.
What is Alcamo known for?
Wine, mainly. Bianco Alcamo DOC comes from the surrounding Val di Mazara region and is made largely from catarratto grapes. The town also has a castle of the Counts of Modica and a basilica in the centre.
Is Alcamo busy in summer?
The town stays workaday, but Alcamo Marina is very crowded in summer, so go to the beach in the morning or the afternoon rather than the middle of the day if you want more space.
