  • Site surrounded by olive trees in the seaside village of Sferracavallo
  • On the edge of Capo Gallo Nature Reserve, a 35-minute drive to Palermo
  • Undercover communal area and wifi; trattorias within 10-minute walk
A cluster of olive trees – splendid for shelter, splendid for scent, and certainly splendid as surrounds for guests staying at Camping degli Ulivi, in the small Sicily seaside village of Sferracavallo. The folk here have been welcoming guests to their site since 1979, honing their facilities along the way to ensure life is as laidback as can be. Hot showers, a launderette (with coin-operated washing machines) and accessible bathrooms take care of the essentials, and there’s also wifi to help you keep up with the world/pick your next day trip. Beyond that is plenty of space to chill out on the grass or at the covered communal area, which is stocked with vending machines for drinks and snacks to aid such proceedings. And why have guests been flocking to this place for 40-odd years? Well, that’s also partly down to the location: the beaches and trattorias of Sferracavallo are a few hundred metres away (sunbathing and a swim followed by a dinner of freshly-landed fish = holiday win). For jaunts further afield, it’s a short walk to the nearby bus stop for outings to the monuments and markets of Palermo (around a 35-minute drive south), and the site is next door to the wildlife-filled Capo Gallo Nature Reserve for hikes or sea-view strolls.

What customers say

This small, friendly campsite is praised for its cleanliness, helpful staff, and convenient location for visiting Palermo by train. Pitches are generally described as shaded and level. While facilities are basic, they are kept clean. Some guests found the pitches cramped, particularly with larger units, and noted noise from neighbours. Issues with booked accommodation not being available and paid showers were also mentioned, though management responses indicate efforts to resolve these.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Sehr netter Betreiber, zentral gelegen, kurzer Fußweg zum Bahnhof um nach Palermo zu gelangen. Kurzer Fußweg zum Strand/Promenade.
Sanitär ok, alt und sehr einfach aber ok.

Disliked Der Andrang auf den Platz war sehr groß, die Dollar Zeichen im Auge des Betreibers wohl auch. Der Platz wurde bis auf den letzten cm vollgestopft, kreuz und quer standen Camper. Privat Sphäre null. Für all das 20€, Dusche nicht inkl.,viel zu teuer! Wir sind nach einer Nacht abgereist.

Local attractions

Start your Sicily explores with a saunter around Sferracavallo – there’s plenty of architecture to admire here, including two watchtowers constructed in the 14th and 15th centuries, and the 19th-century aristocratic Arezzo, Maggiore Amari and Palazzotto villas. And there’s the beach, of course: a mix of sandy parts and rocky corners, with a coral reef just off shore for those who fancy venturing out with a snorkel. Scuba diving trips can be sorted in town if you’d like to explore local shipwrecks, and there are plenty of shoreline restaurants for folk who’d rather find sea creatures on their plate. For more natural attractions, walk for half an hour or so to access the hikes and birdwatching in the Capo Gallo Nature Reserve, or drive for 10 minutes to Natural Reserve Cave Conza. Palermo, a 35-minute drive away, is certainly worthy of at least one day trip, and preferably several. The historic palazzos, the gorgeous Palatine Chapel, the baroque churches, the archaeological museum… all should be on the schedule, as should time spent eating one’s way around the street food stalls (Palermo’s often tipped as having some of the world’s finest street food…)
