Sicily, the Mediterranean's largest island, offers a hotel scene as diverse as its landscape. Taormina's cliff-top position overlooking Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea provides some of Italy's most dramatic hotel settings. Palermo's baroque center is experiencing a boutique hotel renaissance, with converted palazzi and design properties. The Val di Noto's baroque towns (Noto, Ragusa, Modica) offer intimate, design-forward stays. Western Sicily's salt flats and Egadi Islands provide off-the-beaten-path exclusivity. Sicilian hospitality adds extraordinary food and warmth to every stay.
