The Mediterranean island of Sicily is rich in history, culture, heritage and architecture; boasts pristine beaches (such as Lido Fiori, pictured above), mouth-watering epicurean delights and unspoilt nature; and plays host to a wealth of leisure activities.

It is undeniably Italian, with all the magnificent flavours that brings, but thanks to its island nature is also resolutely independent in spirit.



In essence, Sicily is a beguiling blend of the ancient and the modern. All of which makes it the ideal destination for those 21st-century travellers looking for something different. For those who want to combine the traditional with the ultra-fashionable, it's an island break that's not only luxurious and relaxing, but also designed to induce bouts of Insta-envy.

Add Sicily's dedication to eco-tourism and you have all the ingredients for a holiday to savour.

Sensational Sicilian wine



Sicily has long been a favoured destination for visiting wine-lovers and nowhere is this better exemplified than in the Mandrarossa​ wines.

The wines produced by this collective of farmers showcase a different side to the island. Innovation and experimentation is at the heart of this organisation and a visit to a vineyard is a must for any visiting oenophile. The  brand Mandrarossa is gaining much-deserved plaudits among wine connoisseurs.

Elegant accommodation.

After exploring the island by either horseback, bike or boat, indulging in the sensational Sicilian cuisine or soaking up the sunshine on one of the island’s unspoilt beaches, it’s good to know this idyllic lap of luxury doesn’t have to end.

Also within easy reach of the beach is architect-designed, light-filled country villa I Cipressi, which takes its name from the trees that line the property.
