Clear blue water at the rocky caletta in Sant'Elia, Sicily

Sant'Elia, Sicily

At the caletta, discover La Dolce Vita.

A sea-edge home overlooking clear Tyrrhenian water, a sandy beach, and the old fishing villages between Porticello and Palermo.

The house

Steps from the water, close to village life.

Our home sits at the edge of the Tyrrhenian sea. We overlook the caletta in front of us and a sandy beach to the side. Locals and tourists from around the world come to swim in the crystal clear waters during warm months and stroll along the shore when it's cooler. This very special place is minutes from the oldest fishing village in Sicily, Porticello. With Palermo close by this is a unique vacation spot.

Stay

Simple coastal days, easy evenings.

Our apartments

Light, quiet spaces for slow mornings, beach towels by the door, and evenings that start with a swim in the cove below.

02

Nearby sites

Explore Sant'Elia, Porticello, Bagheria, and Palermo from a base that keeps the sea in sight and the city within reach.

03

Local cuisine

Fresh seafood, market produce, granita, and village restaurants are close enough to make each meal part of the trip.

The caletta

Swim, stroll, and return to the same blue view.

Warm months bring long swims in clear water. Cooler days are made for shoreline walks, coffee in the village, and the short drive into Palermo.

Host

A place to settle in, not just pass through.

Casa Sant'Elia is for guests who want the rhythm of a real coastal village: morning water, afternoon shade, and dinners near the harbor.
