Sicily

Sicilian baroque, historic tonnare as boutique hotels, Etna and the sea. A surprising island.

Sicily is an island of contrasts that captivates: the grandeur of the baroque in Noto, Ragusa and Modica, historic tonnare converted to luxury boutique hotels with views of the island of Levanzo, the solitary power of Etna, the blinding emerald waters of the Zingaro Nature Reserve. For couples, Sicily offers experiences difficult to replicate elsewhere: sunset dinners at masserie with Etna views, suites in historic tonnare where the Mediterranean enters from every window, markets of a liveliness and fragrance that take your breath away. It is an island you never forget.

Sicilian baroque lovers (Noto, Ragusa Ibla, Modica)
