The best hotels in Sicily
Sicily is bursting with amazing things to do. And much like the region itself, the hotel scene is a diverse hub of different styles, locations, and price points. There are city gems, grand hotels, hotels with their own private beaches and humble, family-run B&Bs – in other words, there’s something for everyone here. Once you’ve decided where you want to go in Sicily, the hardest thing you’ll have to do is choose which of these beautiful spots to sleep in. We know, it’s a hard life. But if you’re ready to get booking, read on for our list of the best hotels in Sicily, from Catania and Palermo to Taormina and Syracuse.
What is the best part of Sicily to stay?
That totally depends on what kind of trip you’re after. The beauty of Sicily is that each of its islands and cities are totally unique, so you could go again and again and never get bored. For a city break full of culture, food and nightlife, Palermo is your best bet. For a beach break, head to Taormina, home to the stunning beaches in Isola Bella, Mazzarò and more. Seeking adventure? Head to the Etna region, where you’ll find spots for hiking, wild swimming, trekking and more – get up close and personal with Mount Etna herself. Can’t choose? If you rent a car, you can drive through a number of Sicily’s top islands (Noto, Ragusa and Cefalù), and end in Catania.
