Choose to start or end in the city of Catania, where the Baroque influence is so great that it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
fascinating journey by car

hire car included
Eastern Sicily’s wealth of architecture – a blend of Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman and Baroque – and fine countryside offer much of beauty and historic interest to explore.
To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything.
Goethe
Your starting point lies close to the imposing snowy cone of Mount Etna. From here, with the freedom of a hire car and two nights at three different hotels, you have time to explore your surroundings at your own pace. Using our notes, choose from easy strolls or more challenging walks. You can also admire the Baroque architecture and atmospheric ruins, particularly peaceful in autumn and spring. Then return to relax in the quiet of our delightful hotels, each of them offering an individual charm and elegance, sometimes echoing features of the island’s history and culture.
