The Sicily region

The largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily has an abundance of natural and historical treasures.

Palermo, the foremost city on the island, is best experienced by strolling down the city’s oldest road – Via Vittorio Emanuele and appreciating the Moorish architecture and the Botanical Gardens which Goethe used to frequent.

The island’s rich history – its periods under Greek, Arab and Norman influence – have left a unique legacy.

The Taormina / Francavilla di Sicilia area

Taormina is famous for its tourism which makes of it one of the chief town of Sicilian tourism. The pretty town bases its production upon vegetables and fruit and also upon fresh fish. Local handicraft is based upon wood and iron works and handmade embroideries.

It hosts a magnificent amphitheater with a breathtaking view of Mount Etna in the background. The theater, built by the Greeks in the 3rd century BC and remodeled by the Romans, is still used today and hosts the famous Taormina Film Festival. A much smaller Roman theater, the Odeon, is to be found near the Church of Santa Caterina.

Restaurants! Enjoy the typical Sicilian cuisine in the numerous restaurants in the surroundings

Guestbook for La passione

We have enjoyed the beautiful villa and the amazing weather all week. Highly recommended taking the long drive to Capo di Milazzo for stunning sunsets and beach. We enjoyed a great meal at the trattoria casalinga in town and some great food in Taormina. There is a great walk called "Le Gurne Dell'Alcantara" that is well worth doing to see the gorge and the river. You must visit Etna and go as far as possible up, to see the craters. Thank you for a great week!

Lovely villa with a great welcome, good wine, bread and antipasti, all very tasty and much appreciated. We enjoyed our trip to the Northside of Etna. We stopped for coffee in Castiglione di Sicilia, which we would reccomend. Walked from Piano Provenzano up to the slopes of Etna. Nearby villages very picturesky, especially Mota Camastra with some estoning panoramic views. The children enjoyed collecting walnuts. We will come back!

This is just to tell you how much we enjoyed our holiday in Sicily. We enjoyed our stay in La Passione in Francavilla. It is a very welcoming home and we found all the neccessities in it. Thanks very much for the lovely food and wine which we found on our arrival. Your assistance was much appreciated.

Hope to see you again.

Kind regards,

We had a very lovely stay in La Passione. The views are so beautiful and the house is situated to take full advantage of them and also affords total privacy.We had breakfast on the terrace most mornings and took numerous day trips to various points of Sicily such as Taormina, Mt Etna, Syracusa etc. The owner was a wonderful host. He made sure that we had everything we needed and he was always available to answer our questions. A few words of caution, however. Be sure that your car is not very wide as the driveway to the house is very narrow and not for the feint of heart.....or for one who may have had a few glasses of wine! Otherwise, this is a perfect vacation house. You will love being surrounded by the gorgeous fruit trees!

We had a wonderful time staying in the very beautiful and peaceful villa. Your hospitality was very much appreciated - it's the little extras that makes you feel even more welcome - like the lovely food that awaited us upon our arrival. We will most certainly recommend you to all our friends, and hope to visit La Passione again in the future. Thank you again for your excellent service. (Ilse sept 2011)
