Europe’s most active volcano’s slopes are dotted with flamboyant guest houses and vineyards passed down like heirlooms through the generations, while over on the far west of the island, Moorish influences endure in the couscous dishes and spices, and great stretches of its cliff-backed, wispy coastline remain fiercely protected for its wildlife. Whether you intend to drop bags at a reimagined fishing village, caught in a tangle of wild jasmine and bourgainvillea on a volcanic isle, or a turreted bastion of Sicily’s Golden age, dining on tales of grand tour shenanigans and 1950s film stars under Palermo’s spell, here at the best hotels in Sicily.
