Vacanze Daniela is in Portopalo of Capo Passero, the more south country of the Sicily, in tre Syracuse province, so to south to be even itself 50 kms under the parallel of Tunisi. The coast alternates long beaches, characterized by sandy dunes, to tall bluffs to peak on the sea. The inhabited center counts around 4000 residents and has an altitude of 20 meters over the sea. The long Course Vittorio Emanuele crosses it from an extreme to the other, connecting the zone of Scalo Mandrie (famous for its beaches and the archaeological recoveries) and the Fishing Port, heart of the Portopalo's economy, that lives also on the agriculture and the tourism besides the fishing. Portopalo was founded by Don Gaetano Moncada baron, that, at the end of 1700, financed the construction of some little houses of fishermen to own expenses in the zone Scalo Mandrie. However, some recovered archaeological finds testify that traces of human installation in these zone are also a long time ago.

" And when the sun rises you remain here to look at the whole game of the lights that colours this sea and these places without time, and the whole air has the taste of the salt and has the same odor that the ancient sailors, dealers, great conquerors, pirates without country, thievish of treasures or noble gentlemen looking for their glory felt: if you plunge you in this sea you make a bath in the history... "


" And when the sun colours of red the horizon, and you listen to the sea that softly caresses the sand and the rock-cliffs, then you think that, when your vacations are ended and you will return home, you can tell these emotions to your friends, to your relatives. It's impossible! You won't succeed in finding the words to express what you have tried because Portopalo can live only and cannot be told.
