| Arrival in Sicily Sicily is an island of contrasts, a mixture of thriving ecologies and stretches devastated by petrochemical pollution, of enchanting Mediterranean markets and dilapidated slums. The magnificent temples of Agrigent are set against monstrous high-rise apartment buildings; the peaceful tranquility of Madonie Park gives way to the noise and confusion of Palermo. Visitors to Sicily should be prepared to face chaotic traffic conditions. Traffic signs tend to be either absent or confusing. The rules of the road do not enjoy the same status as they do in most other Western cities. Whoever comes to Sicily must be prepared to accept the good with the bad. No one will forget a visit to this island. Travellers who are prepared to embrace south European nonchalance will discover friendly, helpful citizens and soon learn to love the island. |

A 15th century manor house This former residence of a Sicilian baron dates back to the 15th century.

Since then her family has run one of the most fabulous guesthouses in southeast Sicily. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Guests can choose between a swimming pool, a library, a solarium and a restaurant with a bar. Beautiful sandy beaches are a short drive away. |

A villa in the Valley of Temples The villa was built in the 18th century as the residence of a prince. The location near the Concordia Temple with a view of a small natural park is unsurpassed. Although the style of the four-star hotel seems classic from the outside, the furnishings are very modern. The most important feature of every room is the window looking onto the Valley of Temples. The excellent restaurant specialises in local cuisine and wines. Guests can refresh in the onsite swimming pool. |
