The Sicily region

"To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything...The things that enchant you cannot be counted." (J.W. Goethe, “Italian Journey”, 1873)

From blackened lava fields to soft sandy coves, Sicily boasts wonderfully contrasting landscapes. This idyllic isle is a patchwork of rolling plains, sweet-smelling citrus groves, precipitous cliffs and flower-filled meadows. Like the scenery, Sicily’s heritage is also incredibly varied. Its strategic mid-Mediterranean location made it the coveted prize of many an empire and centuries of invasion by the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, French and Spanish left behind indelible marks on the island’s cultural landscape.

Taormina is ideally located to reach, with daily excursions, most parts of Sicily including Mount Etna, Europe's largest active volcano and home to many outdoor activities, the splendid Aeolian Islands (UNESCO World Heritage site), the late baroque towns of the Val di Noto (Caltagirone, Militello Val di Catania, Catania, Modica, Noto, Palazzolo Acreide, Ragusa and Scicli, all UNESCO WH sites), Siracusa and its historical centre Ortigia (UNESCO WH site), Villa Romana del Casale with its mosaics (UNESCO WH site), Agrigento with its Greek temples (UNESCO WH site)… thousands of years of history in one island!

Holidays in Sicily are also about enjoying the island's passion for food and drink. Whatever you're doing, it'll feel even better paired with a glass of almond wine, homemade pizza or steaming espresso. Add a superb all-year round climate and the locals' irresistible zest and hospitality and you're sure of a memorable time here.

Greco-Roman amphitheatre dating back to the 3rd century BC.

Small shops selling local crafts, designer boutiques, romantic candlelit bars and sparkling restaurants, tucked away among the medieval streets of the old town, add to Taormina's charm. And if you're lucky enough to coincide your visit with the Taormina Art Festival in the summer, you'll be treated to a fantastic programme of international music, theatre, art, opera, dance and film.

Guestbook for Mimosa Holiday House

"We felt welcome and comfortable from the moment of our arrival in this friendly, and picturesque fishing village. Our landlord, Carmen, was gracious and offered a treat of fresh-picked cherries while she provided us a thorough description of our new environment. Although the intent of our stay was to attend business meetings in nearby Taormina, we found we prefered our time enjoying Letojanni's quaintness and local delights. We spent every morning on the apartment terrace sipping cafe lattes and eating fresh pasteries and fruits, while admiring the view of the little square below, and watching the local people go about their business in the streets. In the evening, we gravitated to the main square or to one of the many beach restaurants and/or gelaterias.

There was a bus service available for travelling to nearby destinations but we had rented a car as we had a tight schedule of meetings and receptions to attend in Taormina. Parking was a bit of a challenge as all that was available was street parking.

All in all, we had a wonderful experience in the Bougainville apartment and the village of Letojanni. It was even better than we had anticipated and would certainly recommend this location (and we already have!) to others.
