We stayed one week for Christmas holidays at the villa apartment of Adele in Alcamo Marina. We hadn't been before in this area of Sicily and we found it amazing. The towns of Castellammare and Alcamo, both very close to the house, are both very nice, with plenty of good restaurants, visitor attractions and an awesome landscape. Palermo is at 50 minutes and so are Trapani and Erice, all terrific Sicilian cities well worth a trip on their own. The sea view from the villa is breath-taking. Maybe because winter holidays is not high season, this part of Sicily is not too crowded. Though it can be chilly at night, during the day it is generally sunny. The apartment is very comfortable and well equipped, and has a vast open area with swimming pool, which we could briefly use in spite of the temperature, and a wonderful terrace. The access from the motorway is easy and though it is an urbanised area, the distance between villas is such that you get a lot of intimacy and quiet.
