Sicily is the largest of the Italian islands. It is one of the pearls of Southern Italy: a place where nature seems to have given all of its wonders. Dramatic scenery, rugged mountains, rolling hills, fierce volcanoes, crystal clear waters and soft sandy beaches, Sicily has it all
How to reach us?
Due to the remote location in the beautiful Sicilian hills, a car is necessary for getting around with ease as well as exploring the nearby towns, stunning coast and UNESCO heritage site Mount Etna. Car rental is available from all the airports in Sicily, but in Summer we recommend pre-booking.
