Home description
Donna Stella is a popular and spacious apartment with air conditioning, private eating terrace and use of an outdoor kitchen located on the top floor of a beautiful Sicilian villa with stunning views overlooking the historic town of Castellammare del Golfo. This very individual suite offers the best elements of privacy and yet is situated within a family home where you are welcomed whole heartedly to true Sicilian hospitality.
From the apartment stroll around this ancient town, visit the beautiful harbour and 14th Century castle, dine at one of the many restaurants or browse amongst the local shops. Alternatively, book a boat excursion along the breathtaking coastline or to one of Sicily's unspoilt islands. This is truely an ideal spot to spend a few days contemplating which part of this magical land to visit next.

The Sicily region
Sicily keeps a special place welcome for the discerning traveller who appreciates the finer elements of life, and who looks for more from a holiday than lying by the pool.
All the ancient civilizations that succeeded in conquering Sicily left behind them an outstanding heritage of artistic achievement. Visit the extraordinary and unique Greek site of Segesta, with its Doric temple and amphitheatre situated in pristine countryside, standing alone in tranquil beauty amidst nature. A little further afield is the enclave of Erice with its delightful medieval ambience and breathtaking hilltop location, filled with castles, churches and winding cobbled streets.
The capital, Palermo is a mere 70km from Scopello, but do not go with an itinerary; no map does justice to a city so colonised, yet so proud of its identity.
Food and wine from this region are a gourmet’s delight. With the prolific Mediterranean on its doorstep, fish is inevitably the number one choice, although there are many delicious varieties of local pasta. Within the village of Scopello lie a wonderful restaurant, cafes and a few local shops. Easily reached is an organic market where fresh produce is picked hourly from the surrounding fields.
It would also be a great injustice not to mention the ‘Tonnara’, a disused Tuna fishery with its now infamous sea views and the ‘Lo Zingaro’ National Park; a seven kilometre long line of magnificent inlets, grottoes, low reefs and fantastic sandy coves.

This western coastline is filled with magnificent inlets, unspoilt bays and splendid beaches. Picturesque seascapes follow one another like a beautiful string of pearls. Calabianca with its turquoise waters and grottoes is followed by Guidaloca, a sandy, pebbly beach with a limpid sea of ever changing colours offering a variety of water sports. Nearby is Cala Rossa where a pathway leads you down steep rocks to a charming cove with an underground grotto. Finally, you arrive at the secluded bays and inlets, which form the spectacular Zingaro nature reserve.
There are numerous local places from where you can hire boats or alternatively several agencies offer excursions along the coast past the Zingaro. From Trapani you can take a ferry and visit the island of Pantelleria or the three exotic Egadi Islands.
