Sicily and Lipari
Everyone returns to Sicily because there is too much history, too much culture, too much of a contrast between beauty and post war development, to take in on one visit. The succession of invaders have all left their mark, whether it's for you as a sightseer or arguably the best and spiciest food in Italy. Romantic Taormina makes a good base for experiencing many of these highlights and Lipari gives you the chance to spend a few days in a charming port and to visit the other Aeolian Islands. Palermo has to be the most exciting and atmospheric city in Italy - ok it's a close call with Naples but we prefer Palermo. It is also the gateway to western Sicily with its distinct landscape and culture, and a coast of great beaches and congenial port towns.
We have introduced two delightful hotels in Southeast Sicily, on Syracuse's baroque gem of Ortygia Island. With Noto, Modiba and Ragusa near enough to make this such an attractive area for lazy exploration.
The properties we feature are as follows:
The Hotel Letizia in Palermo is a lovely small three star hotel, right in the centre of the city.
Although Taormina has become popular with tourists, it retains a considerable charm as a result of its spectacular position, fine medieval buildings, classical amphitheatre, and shady orange and lemon groves.
The Hotel Villa Meligunis is just up the hill from the centre of the town of Lipari close to the port. Lipari is the largest and in our opinion the most interesting of the Aeolian Islands, and the town provides a very good base for exploring the rest of the island.
We are pleased to offer the Agave Residence which is owned by the same family who owns the Hotel Villa Meligunis.
Baglio Fontanasalsa is a working agriturismo situated in the countryside 8km from Trapani in Western Sicily.
L’Approdo calls itself a B&B, but it is really more than this. The eight stylish rooms are on the top two floors of a beautiful old palazzo overlooking the harbour on the waterfront in Ortigia, the old part of Syracuse.
This comfortable and stylish superior hotel of 30 rooms is situated in the heart of Ortigia, Syracuse.
