Curator’s statement

Having had the pleasure of spending time in Sicily, I can't emphasize how important it is to see as much of it as you can. If you are based in a villa, this gives you the perfect opportunity to take day trips all over the island. Renting a villa in Sicily gives you a base where you can lounge by the pool or host a cooking class in "your own" kitchen are just a few of the benefits to renting a villa here.

Things to do in Sicily

From cooking classes to classic Fiat tours, wine tastings and basket weaving, the list of things to do in Sicily are as long and rich as the history of this island.

Day Trips:

A few day trips would include:

Taormina:

A charming hilltop town known for its ancient Greek theater and stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea, not to mention White Lotus season 2.

Mt Etna:

Not only famous for the wine made from grapes grown in the lava-rich soil, but Europe's tallest active volcano. Experience the lunar landscapes, volcanic craters and lava flows while learning about the region's geological history.

Valley of the Temples:

A UNESCO World Heritage site showcasing a collection of ancient Greek ruins. Well-preserved Doric temples, including the Temple of Concordia, Temple of Juno and Temple of Hercules.

Syracuse:

A historic city with a wealth of archaeological treasures and Baroque architecture. Visit the Cathedral of Syracuse, the Fountain of Arethusa and the ancient Greek theater, followed by a stroll along the waterfront promenade.

Palermo:

The vibrant city, and capital of Sicily, has the Palantine Chapel and Monreale - two gold churches which will blow you away.

Places to eat & drink in Sicily

Once you'd decided to come to Sicily, food is an important part of your trip. From ancient grain pasta to the famous arancini rice balls, you won't leave Sicily hungry. Of course, who can forget the famous dessert most commonly associated with Sicily? CANNOLI!!!
