Sferracavallo is a perfect destination for sailing enthusiasts and all-round sea lovers. Its crystal-clear waters are ideal for snorkelling and diving in summer. In addition, in all seasons, the Oriented Nature Reserve of Capo Gallo offers an enchanting setting for hiking enthusiasts with trails suitable even for beginners.
If the Reserve can be reached by a 20 to 30-minute walk along the Barcarello seafront from the Casa MiRo, just 300 m away — on Via Scalo di Sferracavallo — is the Circolo Velico’s Sports Centre.
A white cube overlooking the sea that once housed the ‘quarara’ — an ancient vessel used by fishermen to wash and boil their nets — hence the name Quarara House.
On the opposite side of the enchanting gulf of Sferracavallo, a 5-minute drive from Casa MiRo, is instead the Baia del Corallo, the headquarters of the Sailing Club. It has a solarium that stretches between alleys immersed in greenery and from which one can access the Club House, a structure that houses a bar, multimedia area, gym, and changing rooms.
The club, with its two locations, born somewhat ‘upwind’ (in 2021, at the height of the pandemic) thanks to a group of professionals, has breathed new life into a sporting reality in the gulf of Sferracavallo, immediately becoming a venue for events and regattas of international importance.
Situated just a few steps from the Circolo Velico’s sporting headquarters, Casa MiRo is a strategic point of support for sailing enthusiasts who do not want to give up the comfort of a welcoming and well-equipped home.
For your next regatta, prepare for an unforgettable experience in the crystal-clear waters of Sferracavallo, where the sea and sport meet just a stone’s throw from your accommodation!
