Sbarcatore dei Turchi is not a hotel but a smart hospitality system aimed at reducing prices for guests.
Staying here could be a unique and fascinating experience, like a journey back in time; vintage furniture for lovers of the genre and a dark retro' atmosphere that recalls the colors of Mount Etna, majestically dominating the background.
It feels a bit like being in Havana and a bit like Tribeca. It’s certainly not the right place for those looking for a standard hotel.
Sbarcatore dei Turchi is a structure overlooking the sea with direct access to the shoreline. The guests of the residence, on an exclusive basis, will also have the opportunity to access the adjacent naturalistic areas, thanks to guided walks that will allow you to admire the white cliffs overlooking a crystalline sea.
Legend says that in the sixteenth century when the Saracens tried to land, they were driven out by the armies led by San Domenico da Guzman, hence the event gave name to this place.
The beauty and charm of Sbarcatore dei Turchi were told by Cervantes, the writer of Don Quixote who fought against the Turks here and also by Tomasi di Lampedusa in the novel The Siren.
More recently, the place has been the setting for two films: Casanova ’70 by Mario Monicelli and Le Grand Bleu by Luc Besson.
