Stay at Sicily villas and experience the mystery of this
kaleidoscopic land, culturally and physically more diverse than anywhere
else in Italy. The largest island of the Mediterranean, Sicily is a raw and
intoxicating concoction, blending elements of Ancient Rome and Greece,
Moorish North Africa, Medieval Normandy and Spain into one. Historical
influences here are so dense that you could trip over remnants of these
cultures outside your Sicily villa rentals without even trying, in the form
of temples, tombs, and cathedrals wonderfully preserved throughout the
island. Sicily isn't all about ancient history - Palermo, its capital, is a
modern city bursting at the seams with energy characteristic of any other
busy Italian thoroughfare. You'll find Sicily villas just outside of town,
close enough to enjoy its pace but still in their own peaceful world.
Sicily also has Europe's biggest active volcano in Mount
Etna, which dominates the island's eastern coast. You can climb the mountain
with a guide if you like, or admire it from a (much safer) distance in one
of many charming towns and Sicily villa rentals that surround it. Golden
coastal beaches, fringed by orange orchards, are another big draw, rarely
more than a few minutes away from Sicily villas to accommodate those moments
of sandy inspiration. Staying at Sicily villa rentals, you may also find
inspiration and exultation in the native cuisine. like the island, truly
unique, and consisting of fresh vine-ripened vegetables, savory herbs,
grilled seafood caught locally and, don't forget, Sicily's famous dessert
treat granita. Guests of Sicily villas will be treated to a vacation like no
other. Most Sicily villa rentals include personal staff services, a private
pool, several outdoor dining areas, and a muted country grandeur that could
only be Sicilian |
