Luxury Sicily Holidays

Southern belle

Sicily

Sicily holidays offer a taste of the best of Italy. It’s home to towns and cities full of ancient sights, rolling green countryside and some beautiful beaches. Located just off the toe of Italy’s boot, you can immerse yourself in the relaxed southern Italian culture of the area, with celebrated local dishes and beautiful architecture.

Couples will love spending long, lazy days on the golden sands of the beach, wandering hand in hand through winding streets or enjoying long Italian dinners by candlelight. Families can head to the beach where little ones can paddle in the clear shallow Mediterranean Sea while older children try water sports and activities. Explorers can admire the beautiful rolling interior landscapes, as well as hiking to the top of Mount Etna. When it comes to choosing a town, Taormina is full of ancient ruins and spectacular views of the coastline.

Flight Information

Flight time from the UK to Sicily is around 3 hours. 

When to go

Sicily’s climate is classically Mediterranean, but since the island is surprisingly close to Africa, things really heat up here in summer. The hot, dry weather begins in earnest around June, peaking in the high 20s around July and August. It barely gets cold in Sicily; winters are warm and rainy, while spring’s pleasant mid-teen average is good for walking and cycling, but not quite beach weather.

Visa Information

British citizens do not currently require a visa to visit Italy. 

Tipping

When you dine out in Italy, you will generally be charged a coperto (cover charge), which is for the bread, tablecloth, cutlery, etc. Tipping in Italy is not customary, but is always appreciated. 

Introduction to languages

The official language of Italy is Italian. English is widely spoken too, so getting by is easy.
