Luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants in Sicily

<h2>Holidays in Sicily&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;Showcasing a wonderful climate, baroque cities, a fascinating cultural heritage and a generous nature, Sicily can easily pride itself on being one of the most beautiful destinations in Europe. A crossroads of different civilizations, the largest island in the Mediterranean will seduce you with its enchanting landscapes, combining golden beaches lined with pine forests, volcanoes, meadows, olive groves and terraced vineyards. The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans and Spaniards have all left their footprint on the island, through ancient temples, magnificent theatres, exquisite mosaics and imposing cathedrals. We invite you to discover this heritage by visiting Palermo, Syracuse, Messina, Selinunte, Taormina, Agrigento and the towns of the Val di Noto region, which are marked as UNESCO World Heritage Sites because of their unique baroque style. To the east, the landscape is dominated by Mount Etna, one of the world's most active volcanoes, which you can see up close during your stay in Sicily as you hike its fertile slopes, where Sicilians grow wine and citrus fruits. To the north-west, the Zingaro nature reserve can be explored along a coastal path offering stunning views of the blue sea caressing pristine beaches. During your holiday in Sicily, let yourself explore the Aeolian Islands, an archipelago of smoking volcanoes and whitewashed villages just off the island's north-eastern tip. Dive into the mud baths of Vulcano and venture up the lower slopes of Stromboli before heading to the peaceful beaches of Lipari and enjoying a relaxing time soaking up the sun.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Luxury hotels in Sicily, surround yourself by nature&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;Located in the heart of Etna's natural park or in baroque towns classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, our luxury hotels in Sicily are a celebration of the island's charms. Set in a former noble residence overlooking the Val di Noto, a medieval palazzo or an 18th century aristocratic estate, these havens of peace are distinguished by their authentic atmosphere. The fountain of a courtyard bathed in light, exposed limestone roofs, arcades lined with works of art, a library covered with orchids or a lava stone swimming pool, make these charming boutique hotels perfect sanctuaries where the time that goes by seems to have a different taste. The suites and villas of our luxury hotels in Sicily harmoniously combine rustic details, classic furniture and contemporary artworks in sober and elegant styles. Pietra pece floors, wooden ceiling beams and stone walls sit alongside smooth marble bathtubs, cream sofas and four-poster beds perfectly positioned to offer a breathtaking view of the Sicilian sky. Some units open up to the surrounding countryside from their private pools. The service aims to be in the spirit of these exceptional addresses : warm and welcoming. It is provided by our teams, dedicated to your well-being. From bamboo slippers and organic cotton towels to solar panels and water recycling systems, the environment is also a key priority at our eco-friendly hotels in Sicily.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Fine dining restaurants in Sicily, a true culinary journey&nbsp;</h2>Influenced by the different cultures that landed on the island over the centuries, the Sicilian gastronomic tradition is one of the richest in Italy. Its fertile land and generous waters are a prime ground for our talented chefs and fine dining restaurants in Sicily who strive to reflect the richness of the land in their culinary creations. Set under the stone arches of an ancient palace stable or in the elegant room of a charming boutique hotel, our refined tables invite you to experience the very essence of the Mediterranean, in all its land and sea nuances. On the menus you will find delicate dishes made with fresh produce from our own organic gardens or supplied by our local producers. Black spaghetti with sea urchin, ricotta and cuttlefish; lemongrass risotto with smoked sardines and seaweed or mullet stuffed with chicory, tomato confit and black olive tapenade, each dish is an exquisite balance between technique and experimentation. Your sommelier will be happy to recommend the best Sicilian wines, grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna and the Aeolian Islands.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Best hotels in Sicily, experience the call of land and sea&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;Our luxury hotels in Sicily are excellent starting points to discover the island's cultural and natural treasures.
