A holiday apartment in Alì Terme takes you to a place where thermal waters, the coast, churches, festivals, crafts and culinary traditions are all visible side by side. Alì Terme has two hyperthermal springs: the Marino spring, with an outlet temperature of 39.5 °C, and the Granata-Cassibile spring, at 46.5 °C. For families who want to combine active and more tranquil days on holiday, this mix offers different considerations when choosing suitable accommodation.
Holiday apartment in Alì Terme between thermal waters and the sea
At Terme Marino, you can use water from an ancient thermal spring, which emerges at a temperature of 39 °C. Terme Marino has an outdoor pool supplied with thermal water. The outdoor pool offers hydro-massages with thermal water and a Kneipp course. This creates a clear focus for planning your days, balancing peaceful relaxation with different ways of using the water.
Alì Terme is bordered by a narrow strip of beach, next to clear, crystal-clear sea. Alì Terme also provides opportunities for excursions into the surrounding area. If you would like to combine different interests, you can spend your days by the water, in the thermal area and on excursions.
Churches, festivals and history
The Chiesa Madre di San Rocco is the main church of Alì Terme. It has an entrance accessible to people with disabilities. For visitors with disabilities, this entrance is important information when planning their day.
The Santuario di Maria Ausiliatrice was founded in 1890 by the Figlie di Maria Ausiliatrice. The church of the Santuario was consecrated on 15 May 1901 and is dedicated to Mary under the title “Aiuto dei Cristiani”. The mortal remains of Blessed Maddalena Morano rest in the Santuario. The Santuario has its own entrance accessible to people with disabilities.
Every year on 24 May, the Santuario di Maria Ausiliatrice celebrates the feast of Madonna Ausiliatrice with a procession through the streets of the town. The feast of the patron saint San Rocco is celebrated with a procession on 16 August. These fixed dates give the local culture a clear seasonal connection.
Crafts, cuisine and excursions
Crafts and cuisine provide further concrete impressions: handmade straw hats are still produced in Alì Terme. Empanata di pesce spada is one of the traditional recipes of Alì Terme.
When choosing a holiday apartment in Alì Terme, you can give these aspects different weight. If you are looking for relaxation in the water, Terme Marino, with its outdoor pool, hydro-massages and Kneipp course, will be central to your considerations; if you are interested in local culture, the Chiesa Madre, Santuario, processions and local crafts will move to the forefront. The strip of beach, the sea, empanata and possible excursions round out your plans. This allows you to base your accommodation choice on relaxation, the coast, culture or changing days in the surrounding area.
