Unique stay near Sicily’s harbour city of Messina with flights, car hire, and optional tours
For a stylish stay complete with gasp-inducing woodland views, faultless service, and an atmosphere that’s all about embracing the great outdoors, this 16th-centrury mansion house turned resort has living la dolce vita down to a fine art. Best of all, you’ll be just seven miles from the heart of Messina – the Sicilian harbour city celebrated for its interesting churches, stunning-looking seascape, and rich history.
You’ll be just seven miles from Messina, the historic harbour city in northeast Sicily that’s separated from mainland Italy by the Strait of Messina. For newbies and repeat visitors, must-dos include visiting the Messina Cathedral for its late-Gothic portals, impressive Christ mosaic and huge astronomical clock, people-watching at the lovely Piazza del Duomo, and taking selfies by the Fountain of Orion that is dedicated to the city’s mythical founder.
Further not-to-be missed attractions include the Messina Bell Tower, Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani, Messina Regional Museum, and the Museum of Culture and Popular Music of Peloritani of Gesso.

Bella Sicilia
While there are many islands in the Mediterranean, the one you’ll lose your heart for most is Sicily. The largest Italian island is a treasure trove of culture, history and tradition, while Mother Nature has worked her magic to make this a truly idyllic paradise. Gaze out on the rolling hills and enjoy the luscious view, over Mediterranean olive groves and lemon plantations. Here, you can breathe and taste the blissfully warm southern environment. In the evening, listen to the crickets chirp, filling you with the complete sense of pleasure and relaxation, while on the beach, the clear ocean waves gently roll across the shore. This is a holiday where every moment is made to be savoured, with a delicious glass of wine, and your favourite Italian dish.
