Pleasant place for a walk. A small museum of artifacts. Windy outside.

(Translated by Google) The island itself is very beautiful and interesting. What I thought was expensive was the entrance fee, €9 plus €5 to get there by boat. Still, I recommend it if you like ruins and museums. (Original) La isla en si es muy bella e interesante. Lo que me pareció caro fue la entrada 9€ más 5€ para llegar en barco. Aún así la recomiendo si les gustan las ruinas y museos.

(Translated by Google) Ferry + entrance to the island and museum 14 euros. Selinunte archaeological area 6 euros. Something doesn't add up... too high a price for a poor and not very well kept site, only the museum is worth it with the beautiful statue of the young man from mothia, and fortunately some areas where an expedition is working at the moment. The ruins are far too "ruins". Bottom line: the cost is too high for what is offered. (Original) Traghetto + ingresso all'isola e museo 14 euro. Area archeologica di Selinunte 6 euro. Qualcosa non quadra...prezzo troppo alto per un sito povero e non tenuto benissimo, solo il museo merita con la bellissima statua del giovinetto di mothia, e fortunatamente qualche area in cui in questo momento sta lavorando una spedizione. Le rovine sono fin troppo "rovine". In conclusione: costo troppo alto per quel che viene offerto.

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful little island only because to get there you follow a beautiful itinerary through the Saline di Trapani. The island, the archaeological excavations and the museum are in a state of degradation which leaves the visitor with a bitter taste. (Original) È un isoletta bella solo perché per arrivarci si percorre un itinerario bellissimo attraverso le Saline di Trapani. L'isola, gli scavi archeologici ed il museo sono in uno stato di degrado che lasciano il visitatore con la bocca amara.

(Translated by Google) Place to visit for lovers of tranquility, by visiting the sites and the museum you take a leap into the past when the Phoenicians were the masters (Original) Luogo da visitare per gli amanti della tranquillità,visitando i siti e il museo si fa un salto nel passato quando a farla da padrone erano i fenici

(Translated by Google) place full of archaic charm (Original) luogo pieno di fascino arcaico

(Translated by Google) San Pantaleo Island, formerly Mozia. It is an island near the Stagnone di Marsala which can be reached from the pier where you will find free parking and a very friendly gentleman who will take you around the island by boat for a modest fee. Motya is a small island rich in Phoenician finds exhibited in the island's Whitaker Museum. The excavations are visible by walking around the island (less than an hour) starting from the pier where the ferry leaves you. Near the Museum there is a refreshment area full of plant varieties. TIP: Walk around the island (on a dirt road along the perimeter), even if only in this way you will come across all the excavations including the Tophet (only 3 in Italy), the Bible, the word of God, mentions it in 2 king . Bring fresh water with you. Cost of ferry + museum 15 euros. The ferry, with a local guide, is a cultural/folklore experience that I recommend. Let him drop you off on the island, after having walked around it, and he will pick you up then... Stand in the refreshment area and breathe in the smells of the sea and vegetation in complete relaxation. (Original) Isola San Pantaleo anticamente Mozia. È un isola nei pressi dello Stagnone di Marsala raggiungibile dall imbarcadero dove troverete un parcheggio gratuito e un cordialissimo signore che con un costo modico vi porterà a fare il giro della isola in imbarcazione. Mozia è una piccola isola ricca di reperti Fenici esposti nel Museo Whitaker dell isola . Gli scavi sono visibili girando l isola a piedi ( meno di un ora) a partire dal molo dove vi lascerà il traghetto. Nei pressi del Museo vi è un area ristoro ricca di varietà vegetali. CONSIGLIO : Circumpasseggiate l isola( per una strada in terra battuta che si trova lungo il perimetro), anche solo così incrocerete tutti gli scavi tra cui il Tofet ( solo 3 in Italia) , la Bibbia, la parola di Dio,gli menziona in 2 re . Portatevi dell acqua fresca con voi. Costo traghetto + museo 15 euro. Il traghetto, con guida locale, è un ' esperienza culturale/folcloristica che consiglio. Fatevi lasciare sulla isola, dopo aver le girato attorno,e passerà a prendervi poi... Stazionate nell area ristoro e respirate gli odori di mare e vegetazione in pieno relax.

It was OK to stay for few minutes on the way from trapani to Scala di turchi.

Un lugar fantastico para disfrutar la puesta de sol, buen vino y una musica perfecta. Por cierto Vito fue muy amable. Reservamos online, 30 euros y tuvimos mesa en el borde de la salina, podías beber las copas de vino que quisieras y nos sirvieron un cuscus de pescado y un granizado. La musica fue una buena compañía y al final de la cena disfrutamos bailando. Tener en cuenta que se ha de ser puntual para ver la puesta de sol! (Translated by Google) A fantastic place to enjoy the sunset, good wine and perfect music. By the way, Vito was very kind. We booked online, 30 euros and we had a table on the edge of the salt flat, you could drink as many glasses of wine as you wanted and they served us a fish couscous and a granita. The music was good company and at the end of dinner we enjoyed dancing. Keep in mind that you have to be on time to see the sunset!

Awesome view especially sunset! We were there in the same day 2 times around 16.00 for get apéritif and 19.00 for dinner. Everything was perfect unless 2 moments: - waiter forgot 3 times to bring additional drink - on dinner we ordered meat tartare and after it both of us had really strong diarrhea and 🤮 … looks like meat was not fresh.

good 2-lane dedicated bike & walking path runs the length of the lagoon but unfortunately not quite back to masala nor up to trapani as it should

Good insight in to traditional process of salt production. The guided tour starts with 10 min informative video followed by small museum visit. The guide then takes you across different areas of the premises to show the process in real life. Worth visiting.

we would have really liked to do the tour, but when we went, we were told there is only one tour per day at 12(noon) and we had missed it. We then thought we would get a drink in the cafe/restaurant and just enjoy the view, but the staff there were rude, especially when we said we didn’t want food, just drinks. The drinks we wanted we were told were not available and then we just left…

Booked a tour of the salt plains and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of walking through a place where man and nature worked together to produce something that flavours our food so well. Kudos to our guide, Marta, who did a great job of providing a concise summary education of the still very manual salt production and the delicate ecosystem of the salt pools. Don't miss this if you are in Marsala!

Purchased the “Salt Workers For A Day” package and have zero regrets! Great experience learning about the salt pans of the area, how salt is made and harvested, and loved the experience of getting to try it ourselves. We came on a lucky morning and harvested Fiore Di Sale and got to take some salt home from our “hard work” ;) Our guide seamlessly switched between giving us the English speaking version of the tour and then the Italian version for the others in our group.

The Ettore and Infersa salt works established in Marsala in Phoenician times are a wonderful and beautiful experience. We travelled from Trapani-Birgi airport along the provincial coast road and followed signs for Saline e Mulini and the Mothia and Stagnone Nature Reserve. After watching a very informative film about the saltworks our guide Alide took us on a very interesting tour of the saltflats explaining ever important detail of the work carried out and exactly how the salt was obtained and produced from this fascinating place. I quote from their leaflet “Anyone who truly wishes to discuss saltworks must come to this place in the west of Sicily the old very old saltworks founded by the Phoenicians”. (Voltaire)

Great place to go. Both for dinner/dawn as to spend the day. Take the time to go to Mozia island as well as to visit the windmill. Incredible place with a lot of ancient history to tell

Quite a letdown. This winery is so historic - this is where the Italians invaded Sicily in 1860, and there is a book and series about the Florio family (the Lions of Sicily). You can also read about it in The Leopard, the classic novel that's basically the Gone with the Wind of Sicily. The Targa Florio car rally that still happens in Palermo was started by this family. The wines are wonderful, but this is the most touristy place in Sicily. They herded us like cows, and we had to stand up for the tasting. Very stingy on both the wine and the food. It's on the water, but there are no vineyards here. The only thing I would change about my trip to Sicily would be to skip this place.

Great guide who shared a ton of interesting historical information. Fun to see the barrels larger than anything we'd ever seen before. Super lame they only let us try 3 wines with prepackaged snacks for 20 euros. In a smaller Cantina we'd tried ~15 wines for 10 euros and bought many more bottles since we'd had the chance to try a variety of them.

Place is great. Beautiful architecture, full of history and a really nice place to know more of the history of Marsala Wines. The low note is for the tour guide, who at the entrance was really impolite at my request of doing the tour without tasting wine. I was driving and my mom didn’t want to drink, and at that request she was really rude and made faces as it was disappointed (?) - you see, Giada, we are also owners of a vineyard in Brazil and and we treat our customers with the utmost respect despite their preferences on the visit. The treatment made me feel bad the whole experience and I wasn’t able to enjoy the moment. It’s unfortunate that one person can make such a big and strong place like this feel small and not welcoming.

"tour florio selection" €25 organized tour full of thorough history explained in great detail by a considerable and thoughtful hosts: Valentina Gambino, Maria Ellen Bello, and Sara Montalbano, of the oldest winery in marsala: cantine florio (duca.it) guided tour of the cellars (in italian & english) + tasting of 4 fortified marsala vinos: 2 marsala riserva, 1 zibibbo, and 1 passito di pantelleria, with 4 small food combinations : from 10:30am - 1p (2 1/2 hours), walked through the historic and working cellars with massive old oat barrels, and newer smaller wood one’s too. learned about the garibaldi & mussolini connection; and then the tasting was on a 3rd level outdoor terrace overlooking the sea, and ended in the vino shop. the best of the tasting was aged blend 15 + 25 year marsala semi-dry.

We did the english Tour. A lot of Information and good wine. Would definately recommend it!

Very historical place. If you like Desert wines like Marsala/Port/Sherry, this is a must see location. We have been here for an organized dinner. Very friendly people, good food and very good wine. Thx for hosting us

This historic Cantina has much to offer in terms of it’s Marsala wines but the tasting tour leaves much to be desired. I don’t recommend it unless you’re traveling in the winter or spring seasons. The tour was in an enclosed “cellar” that was very hot , with high humidity, and some mold which could bother some sensitive people. The guide was pleasant but her English was hard to understand. At the end , there was a tasting with no seating. Some guests were not able to stand the heat and extended standing- it was uncomfortable and unpleasant. None of these conditions were disclosed in the confirmation.

We chose the 20€ tour and it was fantastic! Our guide was named Silvia and she gave as a wonderful tour full of history into the cellars. The tour ended with the tasting of 3 different Marsala wines which were superb. Can only recommend!

Tye tour is very expensive (30 euro each). The shop is good, but if you look for tye classic Marsala egg based, better you go to a wineshop in the city center

The taste of Marsala. The tour is a must see to get the history of how Marsala is made. Staff were great and even though the presentation was in Italian the lady conducting the tour stopped to explain a lot in English for me.

Tour through the winery was amazing. Also wine tasting was nice. Beautiful place.

Great tour. Noemi was a great guide. Did it in Italian but probably the same in english. The place stil have the odd tribute to Il Duce in the Garibaldi room.

Visited Donnafugata winery during a trip to Marsala in September. First of all I must say that the staff is amazing. I requested a last minute tasting and there were able to accommodate me. On the phone as well as in person the staff was friendly, welcoming and very professional. The actual winery is modern, beautiful and full of artworks. The tasting tour provides a comprehensive history of the family and winery and visit of the grounds. Good to know that there are no vineyards as part of the visit. The tasting was limited to 4 wines accompanied by delicious bouchée and it was good to give you a quick overview of standard wines (note that Donnafugata does not make Marsala, if that is what you hoped to taste you may be disappointed). Already being familiar with the Donnafugata wines, I would have like a more focused / specific tasting. The one thing I liked less is that is that the tasting took place in the wine shop and the back and forth of people coming in was a bit distracting particularly when it was a large group. Overall I would definitely recommend visiting Donnafugata to taste delicious wine if you pass by Marsala.

By sheer coincidence my favorite Sicilian wine had a winery in Marsala just a short walk from the marina! I was there for two days and had to visit. Unfortunately though I didn't get to try any wine tasting or the brunch that they offer as they were full but, we were still able to have a tour guide show us around the winery and explain in English which is very nice. The giftshop has so much Donnafugata wines that I'd never tried before, it was amazing. We even managed to see one of the winery founders, signora Gabriella who came by the gift shop to say hi to her employees. Just goes to show how appreciative these people are and that they really like to be hands on. Well done 👏

We had Giulia as a guide, made she was the best. Wow what an experience! The place were so amazing and beautiful, and the wine was amazing! Thank you so much

We loved everything. They treated us very good , the girl who gave us the tour was super nice and answered all of our questions. Tasting the wines and food was a great experience everybody should try at least once :)

We went to the winery for a tour and tasting during the holidays in order to discover Sicilian wine. The tour was very interesting with explanations of the history of the vineyard and of the type of wine made on the island. Then we had the luck to taste 4 wines, 2 whites, one red and one rosé with a pairing for each of them. All wine where good with a special mention to the rosé Rosa Dolce&Gabbana e Donnafugata DOC that was very good. If you are near marsala, i recommend to go discover Donnafugata!

We went to the Donnafugata winery in February about a decade ago, and it was a fantastic experience: from olives to cheese pairings, the wine tasting definitely exceeded my expectations. We got a few bottles to take back to the villa and enjoy from the terrace later in the evening. Looking at the photos from our trip today, we honestly cannot wait to return to Sicily in the near future.

We have taken the wine testing/ food pairing activity. Our host, Eleonora, was simply amazing. The tour started with the history of Donnafugata and an overview of the different vineyard locations (grape varieties, climates, soils, etc). The tasting activity was held in a great setting. Five wines were tasted, each with food pairing. Eleonora described each wine and engaged participants. A "must do" activity when visiting the Marsala region. By far THE Best wine testing/ food pairing activity we have ever experienced.

I visited the winery with my family last week, and had a great time touring the facilities and learning more about the history of the Donnafugata brand and doing an amazing wine and food tasting. Despite having booked our tour in English, Eleonora, our host, went out of her way and led the tour in Spanish, a very pleaseant surprise! (Her Spanish is flawless, by the way, you should offer tours in Spanish!) By the end, I bought a bottle of their rosé, and we couldn't wait to go back to our apartment to taste it! They also provided the list of a local supplier of the Donnafugata brand in Mexico to buy more of their wines and their amazing Passito! Thank you, Eleonora!

This is one of the best wine tasting i have experienced. The host was friendly and explained the tour in detail. The best part was the wine tasting with the food pairing. Both the food and wine were delicious. Thumbs up!

Outstanding experience! We choose the brunch wine tasting, Roberta was extremely knowledgable, engaging, committed to the craft and really took the time to build our brains on all the history and uniqueness of the wines. We had an amazing time

Extremely nice building, worth to visit even if you are not into wine. The wine selection is nice, prioritizing the Sililian territory and their Native grapes. They also have a Dolce & Gabbana collaboration on 3 bottles (nice for a gift). Price range starting from €8/9 till €80. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and ready to explain you everything regarding each bottle of wine. 5 stars well deserved!

Alice made our entire experience at Donnafugata incredible, full of knowledge and so fun! We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary and she went above and beyond to make our day feel so special! The wine and food pairings are sensational and I cannot recommend this experience enough! Request Alice if you can because she is the most delightful and beautiful person inside and out.

I am not into museum too much. But this museum intrigued me. Everything is given with proper explanation. I was hesitating to visit, but when finally I did, it was worth. Really recommended. p.s entrance ticket is 4€

(Translated by Google) The archaeological museum of Marsala, dedicated to Baglio Anselmi, is medium in size, and certainly does not compete with the Louvre. In its small size, however, it houses a multitude of finds from the Greek and Roman era, in excellent condition. Honorable mention for the remains of the ship from the Punic era, truly impressive! A must see! (Original) Il museo archeologico di Marsala, dedicato a Baglio Anselmi, è di medie dimensioni, e di sicuro non compete con il Louvre. Nel suo piccolo però ospita una moltitudine di reperti di epoca greca e romana, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Menzione d'onore per i resti della nave di epoca punica, veramente impressionante! Da vedere assolutamente!

Definitely worth a visit for the two ships and the beautiful finds. We were lucky and the museum staff invited all visitors to the nearby cave of the Sybil in the San Giovanni charch. This free and unexpected tour was beyond expectations.

(Translated by Google) The museum with the Punic ship is beautiful. The external archaeological area is not cared for and it seems that everything has stopped at the last funding of 15 years ago (Original) Bellissimo il museo con la nave punica. L'area archeologica esterna non è curata e sembra che tutto si sia fermato all'ultimo finanziamento di 15 anni fa

Very nice museum with quite big archeological part next to the building

Definitely worth a stop! We only visited the museum (no time for the park) but that was very interesting. Unique punic war ship (very little left of it) amd roman cargo ship (also not much left of it) but lots of interesting exhibits from both ships as well as the old settlement itself. Plan for 60 minutes, should be plenty

They say on their website they open 9:30-19:30. We drive one hour to get there. They are closed for no reason and we’re told to come back tomorrow… pathetic and disrespectful.

Phonecian boats, relics, Roman relics. If you like antiquity, need I say more? Oh yea, free easy parking.

Unfortunately, the website has not updated current opening hours. Walked there and it was closed.

Nicely refreshing, well air-conditioned museum break from the warm town. Fun for a boy interested in the ancient history.

Beautiful place to have a snack and taste some of finest wines

It's a baroque city gate (construction started in 1685) with manneristic elements, mainly famous and named for being the gate through with Garibaldi and his forces marched into the city on May 11, 1860 pursuing their quest of the unification of Italy.

The gates to the old historic center. Beautiful the view should be observed from both sides. Continue on and enjoy the city.

A nice sight. Worth a visit

Bar municipale net na de poort, heerlijk plekje voor een goed glas Prosecco en salade! (Translated by Google) Bar municipale just after the gate, a lovely spot for a good glass of Prosecco and salad!

Beautiful old town. Gorgeous shops.

Porta Garibaldi is in the view to the seaside a plain port you look through from the other side it shows the richness from the old period where Marsala is famous off - Wine seems to be the most important business at Marsala from my first glance but I am sure there is more hidden if you look closer - that ancient history you might find everywhere in Marsala speaks by itself - and this represent for me the Porta Garabaldi - a great entrance to a city with a great historical background.

Magnificent. Stay till the sunset and after dark. The atmosphere is different when they lit the lights in this historical neighborhood. Take your time to walk around the monuments and feel the history.

Beautiful piece of architecture! As the whole City very recommendable!

Main entry point to city of Marsala. Pedestrian only area, it's a short walk past the Porta to the main square.

Great place to start exploring Milan. From here you can walk to most of the city's attractions

Beautiful centre of the square Duomo if it’s open it is definitely worth a look.

People thronging around the splendid cathedral on Christmas day.

Located in the heart of city center. Cathedral freely accessible to public.

It's a beautiful cathedral, but it needs to be maintained more!

Intricate, beautiful, and very typical Sicilian frescos inside. With a visit if you're in Mazara.

Visited last month, arrived around noon, the church was closed. Spoke to locals and they said it should re-open at 4.30pm. Since virtually nothing in Marsala is open in the afternoon, we weren't going to wait till 4.30pm to see the church. Very disappointing since no mention of the hours are made on the website or on Google Maps.

Very old and nice arhitectural catedral

By chance there was a wedding going on during my visit but it was very elegant there were no restriction to enter or be questioned etc it was a lovely feeling

We spent wonderful days in this lido with our family and friends. We were really impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the entire staff. From the bartenders to the owner, chefs, we felt welcomed and pampered right from the start. Marakaibbo’s cuisine is simply excellent: the dishes are delicious and impeccably presented. Massimo and Giorgio made our stay a unforgettable one. Vito and Lucia

Perfect place, must go there! We found it the last day of our vacation and it was the best day thanks to Maracaibo. Very nice and clean beach, comfortable sunbeds, open restaurant with delicious food, amazing drinks, close car park a helpful and smiling staff (ciao Giorgio and the chef;)). Thank you Maracaibo, you made our day! See you soon :)

The food and drinks are reasonably priced and of acceptable quality, good if you're just looking to relax on the beach. Unfortunately they won't let you swim in the sea, claiming it is too dangerous (the waves are 1 ft tall...). I suspect they are libel so just don't allow it, meaning we had to move down sure not long after we had paid for the sun beds.

A beautiful spot for a day on the beach. Food and drinks were fantastic. Friendly service - great with the children. We came right at the start of the season so the beach was so peaceful. We are very happy customers!

We happened upon this lovely beach club after a hot day in Marsala. Decided to stay for dinner and had no idea it would be one of the best meals during our week stay in Sicily! We were a big group of 13 and they set up a beautiful table for us right on the beach. Sunset swim and dinner. Everything was so fresh and yummy! The food and wine were all very local. Perfect evening!

I was looking for that ‘white sand, blue water’ beach day experience, and Marakaibbo certainly delivered! The beach and facilities are beautiful, the restaurant is great - very reasonably priced and generous portions. And the staff are wonderful!! When my taxi home never showed, the owner arranged a lift for me back to me accommodation, I’m so appreciative! It is a drive from Marsala, but I believe they do book transfers. It’s worth the drive out, you could spend all day there, and you don’t want to miss the sunset!!!

Too busy, lots of seaweed. Hard to just get a drink

Great service, awesome beach. Must be seen.

Review beach Marakaibbo We found this beach during the way from trapani to agrigento. It is clean, friendly, with perfect sunbeds beige colors with small cusion and pockets Price after 14:30 during working days in august 2023 was 25€ per two persons, But you can stay there as long as you want/need. Toilet and shower are included. For shower you need 0.5€ coins but this is included in the payment for sunbeds. Sea is really clean, long walking in the water with the hight till of the knees. Maybe 500m maybe more distance. Time to time is possible see on the bottom the sea grass. But it is depend of the waves. We really enjoyed stayed here. Nice price, well maintained beach and friendly staff. Clean sea but this is done by nature.

Heerlijke plek met goede bedjes( soort kussentje aan hoofd einde) Op advies van Vila white residentie hier naar toe gegaan . Ze hebben zelfs een ophaal en breng service . Heerlijk eten, mooie gerechten , spreken Engels Vriendelijk personeel, goede wijnen , Prima prijs kwaliteit verhouding en voldoende parkeergelegenheid voor 2 euro per auto en je kan voor meerdere dagen bedjes reserveren 👏 (Translated by Google) Lovely place with good beds (kind of pillow at the head end). Went here on the advice of Vila White Residence. They even have a pick-up and delivery service. Delicious food, beautiful dishes, speak English Friendly staff, good wines, Excellent price-quality ratio and ample parking for 2 euros per car and you can reserve beds for several days 👏

Fantastic! Delicious food, friendly staff and beautiful beach! We were surprised last year and came back again this year. I really recommend.

Free beds, delicious pasta, very enjoyable and friendly staff! Definitely worth a stop in Sicily.

Whenever you want to visit a beautiful beach in Sicily, you must go to Marakaibbo Beach near Marsala, owned by Massimo. The loose service of the waitors, the typical Sicilian food the Chefs Salvatore and Nino prepare, is of superior quality than any other beachclub we have ever seen. Thank you, grazie mille, Massimo, Giorgio, Daniele, Nino, Salvatore e Enrico for a wonderful week at your place!!

Marakaibbo Beach is Nr1 in Marsala. Amazing crystal clear stunning beach for you searching for complete relaxing! Very friendly, humble and professional owner with staff offering such delicious dishes!💫💫💫💫💫

We walked in a half hour before closing, and were informed by a gracious short-haired woman who spoke excellent English that tastings are typically arranged in advance and were done for the day. However, after a few general questions about buying a bottle of marsala, we wound up partaking in a delicious tasting of multiple local wines. We enjoyed two unique whites including an aromatic dry moscato, multiple reds including a bold Syrah and an organic blend, marsalas - including a sweet, semisweet, dry, red, and one aged since 1985 - and finally a delicious local Amaro even though we were already committed to buying it. This unexpected service, besides the amazing quality product, made us all the happier with our purchase(s). Unfortunately we did not catch her name, but this woman's hospitality and knowledge made for an incredible and memorable first wine tasting in Sicily. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Was good lowish price tour, informative, with good tasting

We had a great tour and tasting! Informative, engaging and lovely wine. Appreciated Francesco (sorry if we’ve got name wrong!) being so accommodating and doing the tour in English for us!

Fantastic tour with great marsala wine tasting! Very interesting story to the wine, and the staff were great!

Very nice place to visit. The wine was delicious and you can taste every kind of it. The tour lasted for 1 hour and it was one of the best tour I have taken part.

Historical wine producer of Marsala winrd as well as other traditional red, white and dessert wines; High quality wines of wide assortments; well worth visiting the store and doing the wine tour

We absolutely enjoyed our experience here. We didn't book a tour, but were made to feel welcome all the same. We were offered a tasting of their marsala wine and even got an overview of the grapes, varietals, food pairings and the differences in their standard wines. A very friendly pair helped with translations wherr necessary and we walked away with a valuable memory of Sicilian hospitality and a bottle to enjoy on our trip. If you only have time for one tasting, I couldn't recommend Pellegrino more.

Entrees were delicious but rices were too salty. Too hungry to return dish but could have done it. Manager for feedback but did not offer any alternative. Next time will return food.

Absolutely fabulous. Terrific service,spectacular views and fantastic food 😀

Slow, slow, slow. Nice food but don’t appreciate that it took almost 2.5 hours to receive a cold salad starter and a grilled fish main, that’s only 1 thing that needed to be cooked. It took 40 mins to receive wine. 4 tables seated after me all received menus and food and drinks before I had even been asked for my order. Everyone received bread baskets yet I didn’t receive any bread, oil, salt or pepper yet they put coperto on the bill. Not impressed.

If you are an Italian then you are good to go, food is fine, big portions. If you are not Italian and you don’t speak Italian at all, then you will be omitted, you will wait for food at least an hour (if there are other Italian guests) and you will suffer to order anything because the menu is only in Italian and there are basically no English speaking waiters - apart from 1 guy who knew at least something (at least during our visit). Not even the managers know a word in English. So for foreigners - just don’t.

Clean and very good beach

Nice location with view on the sea, good food at reasonable price. The stake, mixed vegetables and spaghetti were delicious and waiting time about 20 minutes.

Lovely restaurant and parking is available.

Nice sandy beach, good service in taverna, very busy.

Great beach.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, with a breathtaking view. There is Mr. Salvatore who manages the beach, and a very competent, kind and capable person. It was the beach I liked the most of all. (Original) Bellissimo posto, con una vista mozzafiato. C'è il signor Salvatore che gestisce il lido, e una persona molto competente gentile e capace. Stata la spiaggia che più mi he piaciuta de tutte.

(Translated by Google) A "popular" lido, dedicated to local families and residents. Very basic but with all the services. Basic food with sandwiches, chips, cunzatu bread (very good), but nothing elaborate cuisine. Beach not very clean and bathrooms absolutely to be seen again. The sea is wonderful even if it is exposed to algae, as demonstrated by the mounds on opposite sides of the beautiful beach. Online prices: €20 for an umbrella and two deckchairs in the front row on Sundays, but also on all other days... (Original) Un lido “popolare”, ovvero dedicato a famiglie e residenti del posto. Molto spartano ma con tutti i servizi. Ristorazione basica con panini, patatine fritte, pane cunzatu (molto buono), ma niente cucina elaborata. Spiaggia non molto pulita e bagni assolutamente da rivedere. Il mare è stupendo anche se è esposto alle alghe, come dimostrano i cumuli ai due opposti della bellissima spiaggia. Prezzi in linea: 20€ ombrellone e due sdraio in prima fila alla domenica, ma così anche in tutti gli altri giorni…

If you have 2 hours to spare worth a visit

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately I can only give one star because when I arrived in Marsala convinced it was open, as indicated on the site, I found the door locked and no sign to justify the impossibility of access. We ask for information at the souvenir shop opposite only to be told that it is temporarily closed... What can I say... Nothing. I would appreciate there being some notice on the museum's website. I therefore advise anyone who wants to venture out in this season to call in advance (Original) Purtroppo posso solo dare una stella in quanto arrivata a Marsala convinta fosse aperto, come indicato dal sito, trovo la porta serrata e nessun segnale per giustificarne l'impossibilità di accesso. Chiediamo informazione al negozio di souvenir lì di fronte per sentirci dire che è momentaneamente chiuso... Che dire... Nulla. apprezzerei ci fosse stato un qualche avviso sul sito del museo. Consiglio quidni ai prossimi che si vogliano avventurare in questa stagione di chiamare preventivamente

(Translated by Google) It's not my favorite art but they are objectively beautiful. Price too high for a museum full of dust, gloomy and damp (Original) Non è la mia arte preferita ma sono oggettivamente belli. Prezzo troppo alto per un museo pieno di polvere, cupo e umido

(Translated by Google) Poorly maintained museum, full of dust and above all gloomy. The tapestries, an invaluable artistic and historical heritage, deserve a much more curated and attentive museum from the competent authorities. Yet another neglected Italian cultural heritage. Despite this, the tapestries deserve to be viewed for their immense beauty and cultural importance. (Original) Museo tenuto male, pieno di polvere e soprattutto cupo. Gli arazzi, patrimonio artistico e storico inestimabile meriterebbero un museo molto più curato ed attenzionato dalle autorità competenti. L'ennesimo patrimonio culturale italiano trascurato. Nonostante ciò gli arazzi meritano di essere visionati per l'immensa bellezza ed importanza culturale.

(Translated by Google) Museum closed with no signs or indications. You don't even understand that you are in front of the museum....congratulations to the mayor and the councilor for culture of Marsala. (Original) Museo chiuso senza ne' cartelli ne' indicazioni. Non si capisce neppure di essere davanti al museo....complimenti al sindaco e all'assessore per la cultura di Marsala.

(Translated by Google) The tapestries on display are of excellent workmanship, but the design underlying them is not as good. Furthermore, they are located in spaces without air conditioning and, much more seriously, they can only be reached by climbing up quite steep stairs. Dismantling architectural barriers. Cost 4 euros. (Original) Gli arazzi esposti sono di ottima fattura, ma il disegno che li sottende non è altrettanto valido. Inoltre sono collocati in spazi senza aria condizionata e, cosa molto più grave, sono raggiungibili solo arrampicandosi su per scalette abbastanza ripide. Barriere architettoniche a sfare. Costo 4 euro.

(Translated by Google) Instead of ancient ruins, shards, figures... eight precious tapestries made of wool and silk from the royal workshop in Brussels are exhibited here. It is certainly possible to capture the entirety of the huge tapestries in a photo. Only the lighting could be better, as this would show the carpets and their details even better. And the museum is not very busy either. In July 2019 I was there alone. (Original) Statt antiker Ruinen, Scherben, Figuren… werden hier acht kostbare Wandteppiche aus Wolle und Seide aus der königlichen Werkstatt von Brüssel ausgestellt. Es ist durchaus möglich, die riesigen Wandteppiche in Gänze auf ein Foto zu bannen. Lediglich die Ausleuchtung könnte besser sein, denn so kämen die Teppiche und deren Feinheiten noch besser zur Geltung. Und viel besucht ist das Museum auch nicht. Im Juli 2019 war ich dort alleine.

A highlight of our trip! Enrica was fantastic, so knowledgeable and fun-we enjoyed each and every wine (usually I am only a white wine gal) red, white, Marsala and sweet dessert wines too! The street food was an added bonus! Thanks again… LC

Caruso & Minini! A small, cozy wine oasis in Marsala where visionaries with passion and mission produce wine with soul and character. Keeping in mind that taste is a highly subjective topic, each presented wine turned out to be a symphony for our receptors. All 6 wines that we tried were perfectly paired with local food. We highly recommend the wine tasting experience and want to thank the staff for contributing to our Sicily trip in the best possible way!

The tour did by 4 another person( 3 couple ). The tour guide was hurry and describe everything so fast and didn't allow us see everything in peace. we ordered a package of 4 wine and like the taste of wine and olive!

Lovely low key winery, private guided tour (about 20 minutes) included wine tasting with 4 wines (one Marsala) and cheese board with great treats of cheese, salami, olives and incredible olive oil which they also make themselves. All for €15 per person. Very tasty wine and relaxing outdoor setting to try it, enjoyed it a lot! They also have a beautiful big indoor space for larger groups. The only minus was that although the guide was lovely, she spoke very fast and the tour felt a bit rushed, it would have been nice to go a little slower.

Wonderful visit - illenia have a great tour of the production line. Wine was delicious and a lovely setting. Simple but everything you wanted

Great tasting experience, the place is beautiful, people are very friendly and the wine and food are great!

Smal winery with a different point of view. Surprisingly good wines for a good price. Good explanation about the wines and we could taste some of there wines. We also bought a couple of different wines and marsala of course. Place to go for good wines

Thank you very much for the tour we were able to book spontaneously. Our guide (Marilena) not only has been the friendliest person on earth, she also spoke English perfectly. But most of all she knew everything about grapes and winemaking and told stories and facts we never heard before. She loves any aspect of wine and Sicily‘s wine-traditions. We even love wine now more than before and can only recommend this tour and winery. This is a very unique place for wine-lovers round the world! Thanks!

A must see for wine lovers! The tour is great, learn from an expert. Absolutely recommendable!

Lovely wines. I adore their Marsalas with a special weakness for their Vigna la Miccia. Their dad the eponymous Marco De Bartoli while I hadn't met him, had a fierce love for this land and its products. He also was reclaiming the glorious past and prestige of Marsala. I thank him for it. His children who run the winery, Renato, Sebastiano and Gippy are cordial, well informed and have the same love of place. They do tours by appointment and will ship the wine you select practically anywhere. Their Marsala Superiore Vecchio Samperi aged 10 years is an all meal wine, and they make flinty austere whites, a Grillo called Grappoli di Grillo and other wines that are just really good. A common place adjective but they are good, really good. Renato is the enologist. These are natural wines, they do not water so the vines have to reach deep into the ancient calcareous soil. This affects the grapes and the flavor and minerality of the wines. The care with which they harvest is just something to behold or hear about on a tour. There is another white I loved the Pietranera, a dry zibbibo. If ever there was a wine made to be drunk with shellfish and fish, especially boiled., this was it. I adore and adored it. I miss visting the Samperi facility I was quite the regular there and always hoped for an invitation to their winery on Pantelleria. #wine #craftsmanship #terroir #marsala #Trapani #Egadi #tradition #winemaking #luxury #prestige

The De Bartoli family has been making some of the best wines in the world for 2 generations. Marilena was a wonderful hostess and the wines were amazing

..if you know, you know! incredible

(Translated by Google) Driven by passion and study for the world of wine, we visit this misunderstood pearl which today (fortunately) is acquiring value and understanding. De Bartoli is a real experience, Alice accompanied us through the cellars, among the barrels that have already inebriated us with the typical and unique scent of Marsala and perpetual. There are many technical and historical notions of the company and the family, here resilience is a deeply rooted term, an expression that values ​​the family even more. Excellent products, without equal, even their base wines are a real surprise, talking with Alice also about the territories, Marsala and Pantelleria was exciting, I thank her warmly for the time she dedicated to us, she spoke at length with us enthusiasts specifically to provide us with more information and anecdotes about the history of this family who has been writing the history of this incredible territory for many years now! (Original) Spinto dalla passione e dallo studio per il mondo del vino, visitiamo questa perla incompresa ma che oggi (fortunatamente) sta acquistando valore e comprensione. De Bartoli è una vera esperienza, Alice ci ha accompagnato tra le cantine, tra le botti che ci hanno già inebriato del profumo tipico e unico del marsala e perpetuo. Tante le nozioni tecniche e storiche dell'azienda e della famiglia, qui la resilienza è un termine radicato profondamente, un'espressione che valorizza ancora di più la famiglia.

On the tiny Mozia island off the western coast of Sicily 🇮🇹 is the Giuseppe Whitaker Museum, which houses a magnificent collection of Phoenician artefacts collected by amateur archaeologist Joseph ‘Giuseppe’ Whitaker. Motya was an ancient and powerful city. Motya has become known recently for the marble statue of the Motya Charioteer.

A short charming boat ride to this interesting island is one of those hidden gems we read about. On the island is a small but perfectly formed museum, which houses the incredibly beautiful “Youth of Mozia” statue amongst other interesting artefacts. Some of the rooms are almost museum pieces themselves. The rest of island (give yourself a good hour to wander) is dotted with ruins and excavations. There is even a little cafe serving drinks but not food.

Interesting small museum. Set up of exhibition is historical which in my opinion is charming and adds to the experience. And (as usual in Italy) this small museum has some star pieces which would be well worth the visit alone.

Lovely walks by the sea and among wildflowers and ruins - the superb charioteer in the small Museum was alone worth the visit. Good for early or late in the day and avoiding midsummer; there is no cover from the sun.

Very interesting place, lots of historical facts from different eras.

Terrible organised museum, stopped dead in time since the seventies since it was built. But the artefacts are entirely worth a visit, an incredible array of material from the Phoenician and Greek settlements on Motya and nearby.

Wonderful short boat ride from the salt flats to the island. Great museum as well as walking tour of features of the island ruins

A small abstract monument, made to resemble a catamaran hull . Perhaps it offers more during the busy season but when I visted in March it was really nothing much to see other than a view of the sea

Interesting modern monument to the Garibaldi fighters landing in Marsala during their quest for the unification of Italy in the 1860s. The monument, resembling a double bowed ship with a mast in the middle, could look really great if the Commune of Marsala would take adequate care of it. Like so many places in Italy, it suffers from official neglect. Once something has been built and dedicated with many officials present, nobody cares any longer. None of the flood lights on the stair steps is actually still attached to its base. Whether they work at night is a totally different question. The handicap lift looks as if it worked last a few years ago. However, the view over the Mediterranean from the upper floor is superb. Go and enjoy that!

(Translated by Google) Monument dedicated to the famous landing of Garibaldi with his thousand soldiers, the monument is also composed of 2 walls with the inscriptions of the names and the dates of birth of all the thousand including Garibaldi. Each of us can feel happy or discontented by that famous landing of "liberation" that history tells us, but liberation from what? From the Bourbons? To then be managed by the Savoy? But does Sicily (and all of southern Italy) really gain from all this? And what? Everyone makes their own ideas ... goodbye see you soon (Original) Monumento dedicato al famosissimo sbarco di Garibaldi con i suoi mille soldati, il monumento è composto anche da 2 pareti con le escrizioni dei nomi e le date di nascita di tutti i mille compreso Garibaldi. Ognuno di noi può sentirsi contento o scontento da quel famosissimo sbarco di "liberazione" che la storia ci racconta, ma liberazione da cosa? Dai Borboni? Per poi essere gestiti dai Savoia? Ma la Sicilia (e tutto il sud d'Italia) cià davvero guadagnato da tutto questo? E cosa? Ognuno si fa le sue proprie idee... Ciao alla prossima

Se puede ver el atardecer en el mar, bellísimo. Cerca hay cafeterías tradicionales. (Translated by Google) You can see the sunset over the sea, beautiful. There are traditional cafes nearby.

Nothing special, maybe for history fans may be interesting.

Great spot to watch the sunset

Nice people

Historia muy interesante (Translated by Google) Very interesting story
