Casa Gigante, Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily

The Building

Three floors. Three homes.
One address in the old town.

Casa Gigante is a three-story building in the historic center of Castellammare del Golfo, a fishing town on Sicily's northwest coast. Each floor is its own independent studio, ground, first, and second, so you can book exactly the space you need.

Steep stone streets fall toward the harbor below, the same "steps" the town was named for a thousand years ago. The castle, the fish market, and the water are all a short walk from the door.

Three studios. One historic street. Book a single floor, or the whole building.

Scopello & the Tonnara 15 min drive

Riserva dello Zingaro 20 min drive

Segesta Archaeological Park 25 min drive
