The Sicily region
There are few places in the Mediterranean that can equal Sicily’s striking landscapes and colourful history. There are noticeable differences between the eastern part of the island, culturally of Greek origin, and the Phoenician and Arab western side.
However, Sicily is much more than an east/west side—every village and town has its own unique story. You can identify different layers of civilization side by side or overlapping one another. It is not that uncommon to see Greek, Arab, Norman, and Baroque influences in the same site—sometimes in the same building!
Sicily's plentiful architecture provides a visual demonstration of its diversity. You can discover Greek temples and amphitheatres, Roman settlements, unique Norman-Arab churches and palaces (whose style is somewhat similar to Moorish but with Byzantine Greek elements), Byzantine (Orthodox) churches, early Gothic churches, fortified medieval castles, Catalonian Gothic palaces, Baroque churches and mansions, and even a Chinese Revival villa built in the first years of the nineteenth century. Foundations of Phoenician buildings have been discovered beneath some of the Roman structures of Old Palermo, the hilltop temple at Cefalù is thought to be Sicanian, and the museum at Termini Imerese houses the stone Arabic inscriptions of 9th-century Saracen palaces.
There’s plenty to do and see in Sicily (Sicilia)—sailing the coastline and inlets and the islands, fishing and diving in the crystal-clear waters of the coast and of the islands, hiking along the Madonie and Peloritani mountains or up Mount Etna (and in the winter, Mount Etna is also the place to go for downhill and cross-country skiing).
The ancient name for Sicily (Sicilia), “Trinacria” (a three-cornered island) is aptly named. Sicilian shores are washed by three different seas: Ionian Sea, Tyrrhenian Sea, and the Mediterranean. Sicily (Sicilia) is the largest island in the Mediterranean, and is in some aspects its focal point—home to heavenly beaches, majestic mountains, and Europe’s largest natural wonder, Mt. Etna. The main island is surrounded by a number of smaller picturesque islands, including the Aeolian islands to the west and the Pelagie islands to the south.
Syracuse / Fanusa area
The villa is ideally located because it allows its guests to enjoy both the visit of the cultural and historical main sites nearby (Syracuse (9km), Noto (20km)) and the pleasure of the beach activities. The villa is situated in the suburb named "Fanusa", in the country side.
Palermo, the capital, was founded by Phoenicians who sailed there from their native Carthage. Since the eighteenth century, Catania has been the second most important city in Sicily (Sicilia). Subjected to E's fickle temperament, Catania has been damaged by lava flows and earthquakes on several occasions. Taormina is also medieval, though its fame derives from its ancient Greek theatre (and from its view, probably the most spectacular of any theatre built by the Greeks, who certainly loved their views).
How to get there
From Catania airport it is recommended to rent a car, you need about 1 hour drive to arrive at the villa.
