Alcamo is a very Sicilian experience, just take care if you hire a car, it is a driving experience like no other and consider taking out full insurance as we did because otherwise you may get stung by the hire car companies. We loved our week there, the Alcamo Marina beach is quiet, frequented by locals and only 15 minutes away by car. Locally there is a mountainous beauty spot, castle, churches and wineries to visit but you will NEED a car to get around. The flat is simple but homely and the only thing we would have liked is Wifi but it didn't affect our enjoyment of the week.
