About San Vito lo Capo
San Vito lo Capo was once a quiet fishing village with a few houses along the shore, and is now one of Sicily's most sought-after bathing resorts, with hotels, restaurants, cafes and shops. The beach runs for more than 3 km, wide and pale, and the sea in front of it is warm and clear. The promontory is framed by Monte Monaco to the east and Monte Cofano to the west, and the Zingaro nature reserve begins where Monte Monaco rises. Our homes are tightly grouped in and around the village, mostly sleeping around five, with air conditioning in almost all; a minority have a private pool. For an afternoon swim and a sunset over the sea, head to the west coast towards Macari. Check opening times before an off-season visit.
