The history
The Atelier sul Mare is a museum-hotel of contemporary art unprecedented in the world: it was conceived and built on the coast between Messina and Palermo, in one of Sicily's most charming bays.The traveller gets to Castel di Tusa, a small seaside resort: the utopia of contemporary art houses there: pure, unique, personal.
Isn't Italy universally considered the cradle of art, with all its world-famous museums, where magnificent works of art are displayed (and sometimes even huddled up in basements?). Haven't landscapes enchanted tourists and conquerors from time immemorial? Then, why not combine both elements and really enjoy art, while experiencing all the emotions conveyed by "the journey of astonishment?"
The hotel is a three-storey building: Mediterranean style,white-washed façade, elegant hall, 40 rooms opening up onto wide corridors, where wall stones shaped by time give way to natural sculptures; 100 beds, large terraces full of flowers overlooking the sea.

In the restaurant hall,not only will you taste genuine traditional receipts, but you will also enjoy an aesthetic contemplation of a vast array of international art exhibitions. In a cosy beach bar in front of the hotel you will taste excellent colourful cocktails, while experiencing a sea of emotions.
