In Sferracavallo, the sea is part of your whole day. Step out of Palermo Mare Holidays at Via Torretta 7 for a coffee, then follow the waterfront towards Barcarello. After a meal in the village, head up to our panoramic sun terrace to read, sit in the sun or listen to the sea until evening.
The sea off Sferracavallo, from the village towards Capo Gallo.
The first coffee of the morning already feels like a holiday. Walk along the Sferracavallo waterfront with the breeze on your skin, then head into central Palermo. Light catches the façades of Quattro Canti and the scent of panelle drifts from the market. On your return, the sounds of the city give way to waves along the shore. On the Palermo Mare Holidays sun terrace, stay and watch the sea until the light changes.
Start among the boats and follow the waterfront. Turn into the village streets towards the Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian, where the pace shifts from the harbour to everyday neighbourhood life.
