POCKET GUIDE TO HOLIDAYS IN SICILY
Best time to visit
The best time to embark on luxury holidays to Sicily is between April and October. Enjoying a Mediterranean climate, temperatures can range between 19˚C – 33˚C. Late spring (April to early June) and autumn (September to October) are the ideal seasons for cycling, coastal hikes and exploring the island’s multifaceted history as the weather is pleasant and the sites will be less crowded. The city of Noto becomes a floral paradise in May when the Infiorata Flower Festival takes place and from June to September, you can enjoy a range of events including concerts, opera, and ballet at Taormina’s famous Greek theatre.
Sicily as part of an Italy holiday
Luxury holidays in Sicily are perfectly combinable with the Aeolian Islands for the ultimate Sicilian Island escape. Start your trip with a four night stay in the mountainside town of Taormina, enjoying panoramic views of the bay and Mount Etna, Europe’s largest volcano. Whilst in Taormina, relax on a private beach and enjoy a guided Jeep tour of Mount Etna and its vineyards. Then transfer to the tranquil Aeolian Islands. Spend your days exploring the vineyards and lazing on the pebble beach. Enjoy guided explorations of the surrounding landscapes. We can arrange excursions including private picnics, scuba diving or atmospheric night tours of Stromboli Volcano.
