Holiday Villas in Sicily

Find a perfect sunshine villa break in Sicily

Sicily is a picture-perfect island in the Mediterranean, just off the toe of Italy, offering mouth-watering street food, fascinating history and beautiful beaches. Enjoy the sparkling Ionian Sea, wander the charming towns and villages, or take in the breathtaking countryside. Sicily holidays offer something for everyone; visit the laid-back resort of Giardini Naxos and the historic Valley of the Temples. Or sit back with a glass of local wine taking in a stunning sea view.

Explore the Aeolian Islands, within easy reach of Sicily’s coastline; embrace the ancient Greek history; or learn about the mysterious mafia connections of this intriguing island. If privacy and relaxation is what you’re really after then choose a hilltop hideaway with a sun-soaked terrace and bubbling hot tub where you can while away the hours. If you’d prefer somewhere with easy access to vibrant nightlife then choose a stylish apartment with views over the town’s pretty streets.
