Holiday houses on Sicily & holiday apartments on Sicily

Relaxing holiday home getaway in scorching Sicily

Holiday homes are the closest thing to feeling at home while you're on a family getaway - and there are few places you would rather feel at home in than on Southern Italy's famous island. From sandy beaches to picturesque vineyards, ancient ruins to world-class cuisine, Sicily encapsulates the idyllic Italian getaway. Book a holiday apartment early because you won't be the only one drawn to Sicily's unique charm.

Family beach holiday home with a twist

Sicily is a massive island in the Mediterranean Sea so there is no shortage of beautiful beaches where the entire family can enjoy a relaxing getaway of sun, sand, and swimming. However, if you're looking for a truly unique beach destination, rent a holiday home around San Vito Lo Capo where the beauty of its sandy beach is combined with the intrigue of its bold Moorish architecture.

Head inland for some stunning holiday sights

Being an island, most people associate Sicily with the coast. However, its interior is a vast patchwork of landscapes hiding a whole world of great things to discover, and renting a holiday home puts you right in the heart of it. For starters, Sicily is home to some fantastic vineyards, ideal for a romantic day trip, or the endless trails of its nature reserves and hills provide limitless trekking opportunities for groups and families of all ages and ability levels.

Cultural immersion with barely leaving your flat

Book a holiday apartment in one of Sicily's two main cities and you will never be short of experiences and things to do. Palermo, the island's biggest city, is a bustling old city where you can wander the ancient streets, see the gorgeous honey-coloured cathedral and visit one of many bustling markets. Catania is Sicily's bubbling, university-fuelled hub at the foot of Mount Etna, the biggest volcano in Europe. It's hard to think of anywhere else that blends staggering natural surroundings with vibrant cultural life so effortlessly.
