“Atelier on the Sea”, that is the English translation of the unique hotel in Castel di Tusa, a small resort in Sicily close to the town of Cefalù. As the owners define it, Atelier sul Mare is a hotel-museum of contemporary art where guests are able to live in a dream and fall asleep within a piece of art.
The idea at the bottom is for hotel rooms to be art works which only become complete with the presence of guests. Visitors, on the other hand, have the opportunity to live a once in a lifetime occasion where they are not mere guests nor simple observers of artwork but are given a genuine artistic living experience.
