Stanze comode ma senza alcuna ricerca ne tanto meno gusto, tutto Ikea scontato.
Personale poco professionale e nessuna percezione di centro benessere .
Abbiamo pagato anche il kit-percorso benessere , accappatoi quelli che vedete in foto e 2 paia di ciabatte usate piuttosto che monouso , siamo stati accompagnati in una zona spa piccola ma carina, una spa senza musica per 1 ora mai vista , una spa che di domenica chiude alle 19 buttando fuori i clienti ancora non l’avevo visto.
Peccato per la struttura perché potrebbe essere una chicca , invece e’ gestita in maniera triste . La mia recensione e’ dura ma spero si costruttiva , non vi è’ nulla di inventato ne di falso.
Vorrei ritornarci per ricredermi .
2. Santuario della Madonna del Ponte

The Madonna of the Bridge...located under a giant motorway bridge in the Sicilian countryside....what's so special? Well, the local people believe that the Madonna of the Bridge performs miracles and saves lives...mainly the lives of people who were in car/motorcycle accidents.....and in a special area of the Church, people have 'donated' broken motorcycle helmets, false limbs, dolls and a host of other items in 'celebration' of the miracles! There are even some paintings of agricultural accidents from which the injured parties recovered. You'll never see anything like this again......!!!!
You need a car, no chance of public transport. Definitely worth a stop off if you're in the area!

Driving between Trapani and Palermo we decided to make a stop in Alcamo which is exactly the mid-point between the two cities. Alcamo is a fair-size town of about 45,000 inhabitants set up high (840 feet above sea level) and featuring a lovely historic center with several medieval treasures. Most noteworthy is the Castle of Counts of Modica and the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta also known as the mother church.
We found free parking in a park-square near the historic center and toured on foot the main sites including the pedestrian area and the fascinating Piazza Ciullo where you have a number of bars-cafés where we stopped for a drink and a bite.

Визитная карточка городка, фонтан в самом центре недалёко от главного собора. Выполненный из мрамора, фонтан работает до сих пор и здесь можно набрать чистой питьевой воды прямо из его кранов!

Located in the town of beautiful Alcamo, sits Castillo dei Conti do Modica.I absolutely loved how you can view the Mountains in the background. Although, I did not go inside as I was running late for an appointment, I can honestly say that the view from the outside took my breathe away.
10. Museo I pupi di Partinico
Overall Ratings
5 based on 7 reviews
Il museo dei Pupi della famiglia Canino, nasce per la divulgazione e la conservazione di un'arte antica , popolare siciliana che ha visto i natali nel lontano 1826 dalle abili mani di Don Liberto Canino , capostipite di questa famiglia di artisti che creò la prima armatura metallica palermitana. Con la scomparsa dell'ultimo puparo Nino Canino, lo scorso 11 aprile del 2015, la nuova realtà museale , permetterà a queste splendide creature I PUPI DI NINO CANINO, di continuare a dare lustro a coloro che hanno per tutta la loro vita condiviso le sorti dei PALADINI DI FRANCIA.

Per chi ama o semplicemente conosce la tradizione culturale dei pupi siciliani potrà immergersi in questa collezione che rievoca la storia. Complimenti al gestore che ama questo mondo e riesce a trasmettere la sua arte e passione a chi si accosta anche solo per curiosità
