TOURS FROM TRUSTED PARTNERS
There are plenty of wineries in Marsala that welcome visitors for tours (and tastes!) of their famous sweet, fortified wines. I promise to highlight a few of the best tours soon—but really, you only need drive down the main road past the warehouse-like properties, looking for signs welcoming you in.
Where to stay in Marsala
Hotel Garden - The only hotel anywhere near central (to the right behind the train station), the family managed Garden is a good place to crash along the southeastern coast. The spacious rooms are filled with modular furnishings in styles ranging from unobjectionable to rather hideous, and while the beds are squishy, all rooms are kept immaculate and they'll provide a table fan to battle the summer heat if your ceiling doesn't come equipped. Via Gambini 36, 91025 Marsala. tel. 0923-082-320. 9 rooms, 5 with bath. No credit cards. No breakfast.
If the Garden's booked, you'll have to settle for one of the businessperson and wine merchant hotels on the outskirts, the most welcoming of which is the Hotel President, Via Nino Bixio 1 (tel. 0923-999-333), with amenitied and air-conditioned doubles that come with breakfast included; credit cards are accepted.

Where to eat in Marsala
More central meals that at the Alfajer can be had in Marsala's only true trattoria within the walls, Ignazio and Franco's cheap but good Garibaldi on Piazza Addolorata (Via Rubino 35), tel. 0923-953-006.
Ristorante Alfajer - You can dine on Marsala's best-priced seafood in the same defunct winery complex at the westernmost tip of town (and Sicily, for that matter) that houses the Punic warship. If nothing else, the setting is majestic, with tables scattered under the huge pointed tufa arches of a former vino warehouse[md]although for sea breezes (but no view) you can choose to sit on the tented terrace slapped onto the side. Listing too many dishes would be pointless, as the menu varies with whatever's freshest at the market every morning, but you'll usually find spaghetti alla vongole verace, cus cus di pesce and the self-service antipasto buffet. Follow it up with gamberoni arrosti or fresh fish roasted or grilled. Lungomare Boeo 38. tel. 0923-713-030. Closed Thursday. (Open daily July-Sept 10).
