Casa Gigante · Castellammare del Golfo

Where the steps
meet the sea.

A working harbor, a medieval castle, and Sicily's wildest coastline, all within an easy walk of the door.

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.

Location

Steps from the harbor.
Minutes from the wild coast.

Castellammare del Golfo sits on Sicily's northwest coast, where the mountains drop straight into the gulf. Casa Gigante is in the old town above the working harbor, walkable to the castle, the Chiesa Madre, and the water.

Scopello, the Riserva dello Zingaro, and the Greek temple at Segesta are all a short drive away, this stretch of coast rewards a rental car, but you won't need one for daily life in town.

Castellammare Harbor 3 min walk
Castello Arabo-Normanno 5 min walk
Scopello & the Tonnara 15 min drive
Riserva dello Zingaro 20 min drive
Segesta Archaeological Park 25 min drive
Trapani Airport (TPS) 40 min drive
Palermo ~1 hr drive

Drive times are approximate estimates, confirm with a map before finalizing plans.
