The area

Terrasini
and its sea

A privileged position on the Palermo coast, among hidden coves, seaside villages and nature reserves.

300 metres away

The Caletta Verde

A walk of a few hundred metres along an evocative path through Mediterranean nature brings you to one of the most beautiful and distinctive coves in Terrasini.

Crystal-clear water, natural rocks and a sea of extraordinary colours: the perfect place for a refreshing swim or to enjoy the sun in an unspoilt setting.

Beaches and coves

The beaches of Terrasini.

Beyond the Caletta Verde just steps from the villa, the Terrasini coast offers some of the most loved beaches in the province of Palermo: golden sand, red cliffs and crystal-clear water a few minutes away by car.

Sand · ~10 min

Magaggiari Beach

The long stretch of golden sand between Terrasini and Cinisi, with shallow waters and clear sea: the favourite of families and locals.

Cliffs

Cala Rossa

Tall reddish cliffs streaked with white and an emerald-coloured sea: the most photographed inlet, perfect for diving off the rocks.

La Praiola

A small cove of pale sand reachable from the seafront, at the foot of Palazzo D'Aumale: shallow water, ideal for a quiet swim.
