Tusa Beautiful For Words

My partner in all things Experience Sicily, Evelina Buttitta, who took this photo yesterday, spent the weekend at this breathtaking spot, Tusa, on Sicily’s north coast in Messina province, just west of Santo Stefano di Camastra. Not only is its sandy Lampare Beach recognized for the its environmental protection and sustainability programs, but the Hotel Atelier sul Mare, where Evelina and her husband stayed, is an outstanding contemporary art museum-hotel. Each room is a one-of-a-kind work of art.

The Hotel’s companion experience is the Fiumara d’Art, a dramatic sculpture garden housed in the Tusa riverbed. Evelina said for lovers of art, staying in Tusa is a must. We’ve had clients stay here in the past, but now that Evelina has experienced it for herself, we’re bound to program it for our custom Sicily itineraries more often!

We’ve been there and we are always seeking out new experiences, accommodations, guides, and excursions to share with you, and that’s why you want to experience Sicily with us!
