Sicily is one of the most fascinating holiday destinations in Europe, with so much to offer of historic interest and six UNESCO World Heritage sites. Its treasures include one of the largest Greek theatres in Italy, in Siracusa, the archaeological area of Agrigento with the remains of Doric temples, the Baroque architecture of Noto and Militello Val di Ctania, the Necropolis of Pantalica and, of course, Mt Etna.

Our luxury villas to rent in Sicily, Italy, include a unique historic property, located between Catania and Siracusa, offering the ideal base for exploring the south east of Sicily. The city of Siracusa is partly on the promontory-island of Ortigia, and partly on the mainland, and linked by a short bridge. Ortigia was the first part of Siracusa to be settled, and is today a jewel of Sicilian Baroque, while on the mainland is the archeological zone.

Other beautiful rental villas are situated further north, in eastern Sicily, between Mt Etna and the sea, and also on the edge of the sea at Giardini Naxos, one of the first Greek colonies in Sicily, with a large archeological area. The location here is convenient for exploring the eastern part of the island, including Mt Etna, the wild gorges of Alcantara and medieval villages such as Savoca, Forza d’Agrò and Castelmola and, of course, the elegant town of Taormina. We also offer a luxury villa to rent just outside the historic village of Trabia, dating back to the 10th and 11th centuries, and just 34 kms east of Palermo.
