Resort Baglio Oneto
S. Italy: Sicily: Marsala
Set high on a hill overlooking the nearby Egadi Islands, the Resort Baglio Oneto is a wonderfully renovated medieval fortress located in Marsala, Sicily's largest wine producing area. The resort is, in fact, surrounded by vineyards! Each of the 48 attractively furnished accommodations has its own patio or terrace and most rooms have pleasant views of the sea, vineyards, or olive groves. The junior suite is spacious and has beautiful tiles, painted doors and closets, and a large well-appointed bathroom. La Calandra, the hotel's restaurant, offers a wide range of local and regional specialties. Places to visit in the area are, of course , the vineyards for wine tasting, the Egadi Islands, the Mozia archeological park, and the ruins of the ancient Greek city of Selinunte that boast the largest Greek temple in the world. This is a wonderful place to discover the west coast of Sicily, an area that has been awarded the European Blue Flag for the clarity of its waters and the cleanliness of its beaches.
