Rooftop · seventh floor
The largest rooftop terrace in Capo d'Orlando.
140 square metres with a solarium, open on three horizons: the Sanctuary above the town, the gulf reaching Cefalù, the silhouettes of the Aeolians at sea.

01
Breakfast, weather permitting
It's served up here, and you start the day looking at the islands you'll be sailing to. Coffee on the seventh floor has one flaw: it makes you leave late.
02
The afternoon, on the loungers
The solarium is for the slow hours. Sun loungers for those who want the sun, the pergola for those who want it in smaller doses. It's what turns coming back from the beach into an afternoon, rather than a quick shower before heading out again.
03
Aperitivo, when the light turns
This is when the terrace is at its best. The Aeolians go from backlit to black silhouettes, the gulf lights up towards Cefalù, and the Sanctuary stays lit above the town. You bring the ice up; the sunset does the rest.
04
Dinner, if you'd rather not go out
You order a pizza in town and bring it up here, at a table above the rooftops. There's no bar and no kitchen on the terrace: what goes up is what you carry up. Which is also why it keeps no opening hours — it's your home for as long as you're our guests.
05
The evening that stretches
A deck of cards, the corso winding down, the coastal lights still on and the outlines of the islands the last thing to disappear. It's where the day settles, and where evenings stretch out without anyone noticing.
The rooftop is the shared space for every guest — the B&B's four rooms and Home del Corso's two apartments. It isn't an extra and there's nothing to pay for it.
Rooftop questions
Who can go up to the rooftop?
Every guest of the house: the four rooms of B&B del Corso and the two apartments of Home del Corso. It's the shared space on the seventh floor, included in your stay.
Can you eat and drink on the rooftop?
Yes, and it's what happens most often up there: aperitivo at sunset, a pizza ordered in town, groceries bought along the corso. There's no bar and no kitchen on the terrace, so what you eat and drink you bring up yourself — which is also why there are no hours to keep to.
Is there shade?
There's the pergola. The rest is 140 square metres of open solarium, and in the middle of a Sicilian summer day the sun meets no obstacles up there: worth knowing before you go up at noon.
Can you really see the Aeolian Islands?
On clear days you can make out the islands on the horizon, across the gulf. In summer haze they fade, and some days they aren't visible at all: it's open sea, not a painting on a wall.
How far is the sea from the front door?
Two minutes on foot: you walk down from the corso and reach the town beach. The wider beaches nearby, such as San Gregorio, are a few minutes by car.
Stay in Capo d'Orlando
A base in the centre — and everything else becomes a day trip.
The port for the Aeolians is 45 minutes away, the Nebrodi right behind. Breakfast served early for dawn departures.
