Balestrate Apartments & Villas (Sicily)

Balestrate is a small bathing locality with about 6,000 residents, located on the Gulf of Castellammare, along the northern coast of Sicily, 40 Km on the western side of Palermo. In the surrounding area there are some very interesting places like Castellammare, Scopello, La Riserva Naturale dello Zingaro, San Vito lo Capo, Erice, Trapani, Segesta and so on. The existing seaside village of Balestrate is developed around an old tuna fishing ground on the sea-front with its small shops, bar, and typical restaurants where it is possible to enjoy Sicilian specialities and excellent fish dishes.

The coast is characterised by beautiful and fine sandy beaches with crystalline water and reefs and the countryside has some wine-producing farms with their typical ?bagli?. This is an ideal location to rent an Italian self catering accommodation in the form of a Sicily apartment or Sicily villa to experience the atmosphere of Authentic Sicily.

Worth visiting are: the Chiesa Madre and the Calatubo?s Castle, interesting Byzantine stronghold, set on a rock overlooking the village.
