Alcamo is the city of art and wine, one of the most fascinating places in Western Sicily. It is located in the province of Trapani at the foot (above 256 m) of the Monte Bonifato which is considered “the roof of Western Siciliy”. Its strategic position (halfway between Trapani and Palermo) opens to an enchanting landscape from Punta Raisi (on the East side) to San Vito Lo Capo (on the West side), in which lies the gulf of Castellammare.
