Oh Italy, it really is the one country you want to try and look you’re most stylish for (well it’s probably up there with Paris and Santorini at least) and now you’ve got the dilemma of trying to fit that all into a small(ish) suitcase! Yes, we’ve all been there, done that, so trust me […]

Situated slightly to the east of Palermo, for those completing a circuit in west Sicily, Cefalù often gets left off the menu. And this is also true for those sticking to east Sicily, because Cefalù is still miles away! And this, in my experience leads to one of 2 things happening. Either Cefalù gets missed […]

If you’re visiting the west of Sicily than Cefalù is a must-see destination! Boasting a cute beach that diverts nicely from the usual rocky offering on this island, the gorgeous spot is also home to a historic old town, awash with quaint streets, great restaurants and a mighty old Cathedral.

There’s usually an added cost of getting there, plus services tend to be a little more expensive after you arrive too – either due to the fact that options are limited, […]

It’s as if fate knew I was going to write this piece… This week I’ve met 2 new Italians (friends of friends who live in London too) and when I asked them both to name their favourite part of their home country, both said (without a moment’s hesitation I might add), Sicily. Ummmm hello! Even […]

Growing ever more popular, Sicily is absolutely one of my favourite regions to visit in Italy – not least because, situated at the south of the country (just off the toe of the boot), it’s heavy on the sun hours and hot on the Mediterranean heat! And of course, it has all the amazing trappings […]
