The art hotel Atelier sul mare is charmingly situated on a natural bay in Castel di Tusa (ME), a small characteristic fishermen village 20 km from Cefalu'. The beautiful position, few steps from the sea, is more enriched by the nearby village S. Stefano di Camastra, famous for the ancient tradition of the ceramic works.The entire coast is embraced by the overhanging parks of the Nebrodi and Madonie mountains, which seem to be the guardians of this charming piece of Sicily. The Atelier sul Mare represents the fusion between the best tradition of the ospitality and the fascinating conception of contemporary art in constant evolution. 15 of the 40 rooms of the hotel have been realized by important international artists. The art hotel Atelier sul Mare has given to Castel di Tusa a revolutionary concept of "living art". Some rooms of the hotel have been given to artists who have transformed them in art works. The room is not a static environment, but it is an emotional place that becomes a masterpiece when it is lived by the guest. The concept is the interaction between the artwork, that becomes the everyday life, and the guest that is invited to the reflection and the meditation. The predominant presence of the sea, the water, simple and purificatory element, take us back to the origin of the human being and therefore to the value of to be. Each art room is a different art expression, that??s why the guest can have the possibility to choose his/her room: The passionate red colour of Energia (Maurizio Mochetti), the reassuring whiteness of The Nest (Paolo Icaro), the way to take away of Mistero per la Luna (Hidetoshi Nagasawa), the search of the human being interior in the Stanza del Mare Negato (Fabrizio Plessi), the complicated tortuosity of the La Stanza del Profeta (Antonio Presti) In the Art Hotel the restaurant area is rigorously pointed out on the sea, in a sunny environment and art atmosphere that amplify the traditional taste of the typical sicilian cousine. The open-space bar pointed out on the bay, and the internal room complete the refreshment service. The beach is equipped and offer to the guests the possibility of beautiful excursions on the boat. It is possible to attend pottery making courses inside the hotel given by ceramic artists hosted by the owner of the hotel Antonio Presti.
