Hotels in Sicily

The stunning island of Sicily in the southern Mediterranean is Italy’s fastest growing region for tourism and offers a wealth of history, culture and stunning natural landscape, including Europe’s largest active Volcano, Mount Etna, which dominates much of the eastern coastline.

Over the course of history, the island of Sicily has been ruled or dominated by civilisations from far and wide including the Ancient Greeks, the Romans, the Normans and the Saracens; creating a unique and somewhat rebellious culture, where honour is as important as life and people may be tall, blond and green eyed or short dark and swarthy.

On the tectonic border of Africa and Europe, the 2 diverse types of fertile volcanic land provide a rich diversity of natural produce to complement the harvest from the Mediterranean Sea.

Gifted with some of the finest beaches in the world and surrounded by clear blue waters and a veritable gamut of tiny volcanic island paradises; and blessed with a mild and dry climate throughout the year, modern day Sicily, from the capital Palermo in the west to Catania, Siracusa and the awesome Mount Etna in the east, is one of the most remarkable and fascinating holiday destinations in the world.
