Luxury Holidays
in Sicily

The Mediterranean island of Sicily has somewhat of an exotic flare. It is Italy‘s largest island and is located between mainland Italy and Tunisia. Here you will find breathtaking scenery, historical sights and beautiful beaches. As well as being a great choice for a relaxing beach holiday, there are plenty of sightseeing opportunities too. Visit some of the traditional towns like Taormina where you will find amazing views and a bustling centre full of antique shops, chic boutiques, museums and lovely restaurants. Taormina lies in the northeast of the island and has a Medieval old quarter, an ancient Greek amphitheatre and plenty of charming cafes where you can stop for an Italian coffee and watch the world go by. The town is located on a hilltop so you're treated to the most amazing views. However, it's easy to get down to the coast thanks to the cable car. The town of Vulcano is set on its own island just off the shore of Sicily. It has a rugged landscape and an untamed coastline created by the island's volcanos. Fossa di Vulcano dates back to ancient Roman times and there is an abundance of medieval ruins and buildings to see. The beaches along the coast are black and sandy - it's a fascinating natural landscape. Of course, Sicily is home to the iconic Mount Etna and, in our opinion, no trip to Sicily is complete without seeing this breathtaking sight. Mount Etna is Europe's largest active volcano which you can best see by taking one of the well-organised tours available. An experienced guide can take you to visit old craters, and lava caves and point out the new and old lava flows. Food and wine buffs love it here as Sicily boasts an abundance of fabulously fresh seafood such as red shrimp, tuna and swordfish which local eateries cook to perfection. The freshly made pasta heady with herbs and garlic is simple but delicious, especially when accompanied by a crisp white or full-bodied red wine.
