Review
We travelled to Sicily for a week as a family with a small child in May 2023. We travelled by car and ferry from Genoa. Our flat was in the small town of Santa Flavia near Palermo. Palermo is definitely worth a visit to explore the city centre. Sicily is a wonderful place to hike, eat, experience culture or explore the architecture. The weather and most of the beaches are fantastic!
Only the road traffic is very unusual, especially for German holidaymakers. You have to get used to it, especially if you are travelling by car.
There is a lot of rubbish in the towns and on the roads, but you usually know that before you visit Sicily. So no problem!
The small town of Santa Flavia is not far from Palermo and has a small harbour with very good restaurants. This is a great starting point that is a little quieter, especially for families.
Destination recommendation
Sicily is definitely a must-see because the natural architecture and the people there are unique.

Review
I have travelled to Sicily both alone and with my partner, focusing on the cities of Palermo and Catania. I definitely have to favour the former over Catania, which is overcrowded with cruise tourists. In culinary terms, I would recommend everyone to try arancini and even a simple pizza tastes worlds better in Italy than in the rest of Europe. Getting around between the larger cities is a given, but you may need a car to get to the smaller towns.
Highligts
For me, Palermo is the highlight of Sicily before Catania. Palermo offers a more authentic atmosphere and is full of history. It is also not as overcrowded as Catania. The Sicilian way of life and the food alone (!) are the main reasons for travelling to the Italian island.

Self catering Sicily villas to rent
Sicily is an autonomous region of Italy located to the south east of the French island of Corsica. With a beautiful Mediterranean landscape including pastoral goat farms, craggy cliffs by the beach and endless olive trees to be seen from your Sicily accommodation, plus a fiery regional culture full of authentic music, dance and a way of life that seems to have be lifted straight out of a century-old fairytale book, Sicily typifies the charm and fragrance of rural, southern Italy at its best.
Take a stroll along the Sicilian coast
The Sicilian coastline is one of the most incredible stretches of land, with endless golden sand beaches running up against dramatic cliff sides, whites and golden hues that contrast beautifully with the emerald green countryside and the deep blue sea. Occasionally a white-walled fishing village will crop up along the coastline, clinging to the rocky peninsula it was built on, and a harbor filled with the makeshift yachts of local fishermen will charm you with its rich, photogenic air. So dip into the Italian way of life during your stay in apartments in Sicily and purchase some fish from one of the fishermen to grill up in the privacy and comfort of your self catering holiday rental property for a truly memorable Italian meal. Hire a tour guide on the shores of Messina to ferry you out to the gemlike string of islands further north in the Tyrrhenian Sea, or make your way inland, the choice is yours! Of course, you also have the possibility to travel to Italy during your stay in Sicily villas, where you can see to the ancient and romantic capital city of Rome.
Explore the many beautiful cities of Sicily
There are plenty of amazing things to see and do in Sicily – as a very family friendly location, it's one of the best destinations to take the children and you'll be sure to have a relaxing holiday. Naturally, a great place to book a villa is the Palermo province, the region that also houses Sicily’s capital city of Palermo. The Duomo di San Cataldo is an incredible testament to the Norman conquest of Sicily, and is located in the endearing Piazza Bellini. Open-air restaurants here provide a perfect opportunity for you to dig in to exquisitely-prepared seafood, the crowning jewel of Sicilian cuisine. After a few nights in your Sicily accommodation you'll begin to understand exactly why the locals are so proud to live in this fascinating city.
Be sure, of course, not to just limit yourself to your Sicily apartments in Palermo – Sicily’s most intense charm lies in the surrounding rural areas. The regions of Agrigento and Trapani should also be thoroughly explored while spending your time in a holiday rental property in Sicily. Trapani's fifteenth century Cathedral of San Lorenzo is a very popular attraction amongst tourists and the island's most famous and impressive Ancient Greek ruins in the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento are definitely worth visiting during your stay in Sicily villas.
With fine wine, sunny beaches and beautiful sunsets, fall in love again in Sicily
Thanks to our holiday villas and apartments in Sicily, you can discover the beauty of the ancient monuments such as the Doric temple of Segesta or the valley of the temples in Agrigento. If the natural sciences interest you, go for a walk-in hand on the volcano of the island: Mount Etna as well as Catania, city near the volcano. It always makes an evening perfect when you end it by watching the sunset with your best friend. Booking a villa in Sicily means you can experience one of the most beautiful sunsets in Italy.
During your romantic weekend in Sicily, you can also enjoy visiting the city of Palermo, its cathedral, its harbour and the Palais des Normands. And if you want to relax in the sea,splash in the waves on the shore, rendezvous near the reserve Dello Zingaro or go a nice hike by the sea in Syracuse. There are plenty of italian cocktail bars, so on your romantic getaway in Sicily you can spend some quality time in the evening with your partner whilst enjoying a cocktail.
Tradition Oblige: sample many of the island's culinary specialties. Such as fish couscous from the Trapani region, or other shellfish dishes, fish or crustaceans accompanied by a fillet of olive oil, the butter being very little used in Sicily, capers and often basil. At the level of desserts, during your stay in Sicily, you can taste "Cannoli", small Sicilian pastries in the form of tubes. Bask in the Sicilian sun, drink plenty of the finest wine around and fall in love again. Â
