- Unparalleled views across the Mediterranean
- Boutique property encased in natural surroundings
Tucked away in amongst a dense portion of fauna and flora, the Baglio La Porto di San Gerardo sits atop a hill and magnificently exposes Vito Lo Capo’s stunning piece of coastline, as well as providing an outlook to the unspoilt Zingaro Nature Reserve, all made visible from the Baglio’s large terrace. For a truly organic spectacle, it’s worth participating in an al fresco dining experience for both breakfast and dinner, as guests will be treated to an unhindered view of the sun rising in the east of the Mediterranean and setting in the west, respectively.
While away your afternoon beside the panoramic pool with plenty of spots to sit back and immerse yourself in a good book, or unwind in the serene Wellness Area. Alternatively, if you favour the open water then the beautiful beach of Tonnarella dell’Uzzo is just a 5 minute journey by car or you can opt to use the hotel’s shuttle service (on request) to visit the famous Spiaggia Vito Lo Capo, a pearl of the Trapani coastline and celebrated for its Caribbean aesthetic.
Furnished throughout with parquet flooring and distinctive subtleties, the Baglio La Porto’s guestrooms are inviting, warm and homely. Intimately designed with the guests in mind, the rooms are spacious and all come complete with a generous share of outdoor space.
Car hire is recommended for this area.
The hotel has 20 rooms (official rating 3 star). Minimum 2 night stay (4 nights between 27 Jun - 24 Jul 19 and 13 Sep - 30 Sep 20. 5 nights between 25 Jul - 12 Sep 20).

About the location
San Vito Lo Capo slots onto a cape on the north-west coast of Sicily. It might be a little beach town, but you can’t miss it – its whitewashed houses and seafood restaurants are backed by hulking Mount Monaco (and fronted by Caribbean-worthy turquoise waters). Fishing boats and sunloungers sit shoulder-to-shoulder on the sand, while cafés supply Aperol spritzes and fresh seafood snacks.
But it’s not all about the beach. The town itself showcases an ancient sanctuary and piazza, plus a 19th-century lighthouse. The past comes through in its dishes, too – watch out for Cous Cous Fest in September.
Caves, coves and watchtowers carve out the rest of the coastline. The seven-mile-long Lo Zingaro Nature Reserve is a highlight, with rosemary groves, olive trees and pint-sized palm trees particular to this part of Sicily. Mount Monaco is right next door, too – and home to the best bird’s-eye views in town. Don’t fancy the hike? There’s a choice of sea-view lookouts along this cape, including the china-white Faro Capo San Vito lighthouse and the crumbling Tonnara del Secco.
Meanwhile, charter boats set off on grotto tours and fishing trips from the marina. You can even nip over to the nearest big cities. San Vito Lo Capo sits halfway between historic Trapani and the island’s capital, Palermo.

Stayed there 5 nights over Ferragosto, and were glad to NOT having booked at it???s sister-hotel on the ab-so-lu-te-ly overcrowded beach in San Vito. Returning to this quiet and elegant eagle???s nest after a sun-drenched day was a treat every evening.
Rooms not grand, but okay-sized w/ modern design. Unfortunately no rooms overlooking the ocean- most situated towards the mountainside.
Breakfast absolutely okay with a VIEW!
Sundowners and dinners, overlooking the bay under the moonlight: breathtaking!
Very good cuisine and service.
Definitely not our last time there.

The place is situated in a beautiful and peaceful area with breathtaking views from breakfast, lunch, dinner and pool area. There is a car area, with extremely comfortable seating where you can also dine if you want in the evening. The Chef and his team change the menu daily and we dined here during all our 3 night stay. They cater for vegetarian too. The personnel is professional, extremely helpful and friendly. They can also help you out with your excursions.

I have been here only 3 days and enjoyed the place. Room was very nice, staff was helpful and discrete, the hotel is far from san Vito lo capo, but there should be a transfer shuttle. They provide transfer from palermo airport that is aprox 1,5 hours away. Not far from the hotel the world famous beach riserva dello zingaro. Hotel has stunning sea views from top of a hill. I would definitely come back. Food in hotel and san Vito lo cap?? is very good

It???s a bit off the beaten path from San Vito but once you are there it is gorgeous . You will need your own transport.
