Description

Alba Marina it is a pretty new “Bed & Breakfast” (three stars), at complete disposal of guests who wish to spend a relaxing vacation in contact with the beautiful and clear waters of our Mediterranean sea, at Makari Gulf, or to have some amusing moments at the golden beach of San Vito Lo Capo.

The welcome you’ll find here is the peculiar one of the Sicilian people, very warm, but simple and discreet at the same time… what could you wish, more than that? The management of the B&B is completely in the hands of our family.

All the rooms furnishings are in wood, hand made; some floors are in parquet, and some rooms have even the internal ceilings “old country” style, made in wood beams.

The breakfast is “buffet” and everything is served in large quantity; typical local products and the delicious pies (home made in the morning) are always available.

The terrace is available not only for the breakfast, but at any time, for all the clients who wish to “taste” the intense and strong scent of the lemon trees (but also of orange and olives trees), or maybe even to spend some quite moments in rest, in contact with nature.

What we can offer
- Modern rooms, 2, 3 or even 4 beds.

The furniture is all in real wood (country style).

- Toilets and showers are in every room.

Standard equipment in all rooms:
- Colour TV
- Air conditioning
- Small refrigerator
- Hair dryer
- Pleasant terrace for the breakfast
- Restaurant with special treatment and price for our guests: lunch or dinner, at 20 Euro / person
- Accurate daily room cleaning
- Bed linen and towels are replaced every 3 days
- Car parking free of charge, below the B&B building
- Possibility, at your choice, of having all the services on payment on the beach (umbrella and deck-chair) of San Vito Lo Capo. A daily shuttle bus is available for going there and coming back.

Alba Marina is located in Castelluzzo, a nice village, at few minutes by car, from San Vito Lo Capo.

Set, like a diamond, between the Riserva Nazionale dello Zingaro (Natural Park of the “Gipsy”) and the ancient bridge of Biro, our village is famous, since old times, for its olive groves; that’s why the area is also called the “olive trees valley”.

Various paths and country lanes give some good occasions for walks, trekking and horse riding.

Destinations.

The place is ideal as a logistic point of start, for reaching various sea-side.

At about 1 km there is the Gulf of Makari (please have a look at the picture on top), with its beautiful coast inlets.

In addition to the above, Castelluzzo is even well placed because it is at a strategic distance from several tourist destinations, like Erice (19 km), Trapani (28), Selinunte (78), Segesta (40), Scopello (28), Palermo (96). Then there are both San Vito Lo Capo (8) and the Riserva dello Zingaro (20 minutes, by car).

Hey from Antonino

Member since February 2006 | 201,985 hits

Hi everyone, I'm Nino Cardella the manager and owner of Alba Marina Bed & Breakfast.

I live in Castelluzzo (Fraction of San Vito Lo Capo) and I'm 38 years old.

Since August 2005 I have got this building with accommodation that I love so much, this work makes me so happy too because I love meeting new people and start good relations of friendship! I thank all my customers (some have become a true friend) who over the years have met Alba Marina B&B.

Those who choose this structure will welcome and great hospitality!
My presence will always be constant to guarantee guests a vacation to the top!
Best regards,
Nino Cardella.

The breakfast, especially the homemade cakes, stands out as a favorite among guests. The property's location is convenient for visiting San Vito Lo Capo and surrounding areas, although it is not in the very center. Value for money is considered high, and the atmosphere is friendly and family-like. The B&B is also suitable for travelers with pets and is recommended for those seeking a relaxed stay and a good base to explore western Sicily.

This has been one of our favourite stays in Sicily! The location, the amenities, the breakfast, the room- all perfect, and mostly Nino and the staff were impeccable taking care of us! Many recommendations for the area and friendly chats throughout our stay, we will for sure stay here when we come back to Sicily. It was a shame we could not stay longer! Thanks for everything.

Everything perfect, unfortunately we only stayed two nights but enough to understand that Nino is a very helpful person, a true host who helps you organize your days. We are already thinking of coming back next year, highly recommended. Also, the location is strategic for visiting the most beautiful places (ERICE, SAN VITO, RISERVA DELLO ZINGARO).

Very well-kept and spotlessly clean structure, Nino and his collaborators made us feel pampered from the start, always ready to satisfy our every desire. The breakfast, as well as being abundant, was exquisite thanks to the cakes prepared by Nino's mother. Really impeccable, I will definitely come back. Thank you Nino.

Quiet place, passing through to visit this side of Sicily. Cleanliness and courtesy, hospitality and availability. Nino is a 'cousin', trust him if he recommends a place to eat, you won't regret it and you will eat divinely. Furnishings and style a bit kitsch, wonderful view from the outdoor dining area for breakfast. And if you have a dog, 'he is a friend' and welcome!

stayed from 07/27/2019 to 07/30/2019

francesco

Absolutely nothing to add: simply the umpteenth confirmation of a 100% guarantee for a strategically and logistically unbeatable place, managed by the friendly and extremely helpful Nino and his splendid staff, where to return without hesitation every time you want to repeat the unique experience of a spectacular sea with the splendid surroundings of this enchanting area of our Sicily. Highly recommended even for a short bite & run vacation, with all the comforts you could wish for. Congratulations and until next time.

Very beautiful, clean, organized, and equipped structure located in Castelluzzo, a quiet little village near San Vito Lo Capo and an ideal area to move around and visit the surroundings. I sincerely thank the owner, Mr. Nino, for his courtesy, availability, and friendliness; he provided us with all the detailed information about places to visit and where to eat. We had eight wonderful days, and Mr. Nino made us feel at home. I definitely recommend Alba Marina.

Alba Marina B&B *** is very pleasant in Castelluccio, near San Vito Lo Capo. It is well located for visiting many tourist places and beautiful beaches. The rooms are tastefully furnished. The family of the hotel owners is very pleasant, including Nino, his mother Teresa who prepares delicious cakes for the hotel guests' breakfast and all the staff. Breakfast is served on the veranda with a view of the sea and the mountains. When booking a room, I recommend asking for a room with a garden view.

The property is located in a strategic place where you can easily access the sea and visit all the truly magnificent surroundings. San Vito Lo Capo is very close as well as the Zingaro Nature Reserve, Segesta, Selinunte, Erice and the Egadi Islands from Trapani are easily reachable.\n\nNino, the manager, is a fantastic guy, very helpful and very friendly (as well as the mother, the sisters and all the staff), always very prompt to any guest request. The breakfasts, very abundant, are excellent, especially the cakes and all the other sweets made by the splendid mother. We highly recommend, to all those who will read this review, to book a holiday at the Alba Marina B&B in Castelluzzo because, believe me, it will be unforgettable. We (my wife and my three brothers-in-law) will definitely return in the coming years and those who will have the opportunity to go there will be more than satisfied.\n\nThank you friend Nino, a big hug to you and your wonderful family. You certainly deserve the splendid success of presences you have had and will continue to have in the future. A big greeting to all of you and goodbye!\nElvio Massimo, Lida Maria, Anna Maria, Guglielmo and Salvatore.
