Sicily Villas

Sicily is a feast for the senses—where Roman amphitheaters overlook turquoise seas and every village has a story to tell (and a dish to taste).

Explore Taormina’s Ancient Theatre

Perched high above the Ionian Sea, this Greek-Roman amphitheater offers both cultural immersion and jaw-dropping views of Mt. Etna.
 

Tour the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento

Walk among some of the best-preserved Greek ruins in the world in this UNESCO World Heritage site, where history meets cinematic landscapes.
 

Savor Street Food in Palermo

Dive into the flavors of Sicily’s capital with arancini, panelle, and cannoli. Join a local food tour or explore the bustling markets on your own.
 

Take a Day Trip to the Aeolian Islands

Cruise to this volcanic archipelago for island hopping, swimming in crystal-clear coves, or hiking on active Stromboli.
 

Visit the Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto

Admire ornate facades and winding lanes in Noto, Ragusa, and Modica—each town a masterpiece of Sicilian baroque architecture.
 

Hike Mount Etna

Europe’s highest active volcano offers otherworldly terrain, lava caves, and panoramic trails for adventurous travelers.
 

Swim at San Vito Lo Capo

Known for its powdery white sand and turquoise waters, this beach rivals any Caribbean postcard and is ideal for families or sunseekers.
 

Sip Wine in the Countryside

Tour Sicilian vineyards in regions like Marsala and Etna, where indigenous grapes produce bold reds and crisp whites with volcanic character.
 

Discover Ortigia Island in Siracusa

Wander through narrow alleys lined with boutiques and cafes before visiting the Duomo, built atop a Greek temple, in this atmospheric seaside town.
 

Visit the Mosaics of Villa Romana del Casale

Hidden in the hills near Piazza Armerina, this Roman villa features incredibly preserved mosaics depicting everything from mythological scenes to daily life.
 

Travel During Shoulder Seasons

April–June and September–October offer the best weather without the crowds—perfect for sightseeing and villa stays.
 

Rent a Car for Flexibility

Public transit is limited in rural areas. A car makes exploring wineries, villages, and hidden beaches much easier.
 

Prepare for Siesta Hours

Shops and restaurants often close in the afternoon. Plan meals and outings accordingly, and embrace the slower pace.
 

Sample Regional Specialties

Each part of Sicily has its own culinary identity—from pistachio pesto in Bronte to couscous with fish in Trapani.
 

Bring Comfortable Shoes

You’ll be walking cobblestone streets, historic ruins, and nature trails. Stylish yet sturdy footwear is essential.
