Discover Sicily’s volcanic slopes, baroque towns, and ancient Greek-Roman treasures on a guided journey from Catania to Taormina with memorable tastings and time to explore.


We use three- and four-star hotels and occasionally B&Bs. Some were selected for their warm hospitality and typical Sicilian character and others for their location close to the historic centres we visit. Don’t forget your swimwear – some of the hotels have swimming pools.
Upgrades are available throughout the itinerary – speak to your sales representative for more details.
The accommodations used on this trip are found on the day-to-day itinerary; however, below are a couple of the standout hotels.
Piazza Armerina: Suite d'Autore (nights 6-7)
For something completely different, there’s Suite d’Autore. This art hotel embraces the hotel diffuso model, in which residences and old houses have been converted into hospitality facilities to welcome tourists and economically support the repopulation of the area. Our groups are divided among Suite D'Autore, Palazzo Crescimanno (an old palace) and, when the group is full, ancient houses transformed into B&Bs.
Taormina: Villa Esperia (night 14)
Our final night is spent at Villa Esperia. Get the group together by the outdoor pool to toast the adventure and admire the sea views. Alternatively, a cable car to Taormina town centre is just 330ft (100m) from the front door. The hotel also has one restaurant: Bacio di Dama, which serves Sicilian dishes.
