Cassisi Hotel, near Messina

This smart, modern hotel is located in the historic centre of Milazzo, northern Sicily. Milazzo is the main port for catching ferries to the Aeolian Islands, whilst also having plenty of attractions of its own. The Cassisi Hotel has 12 doubles and two single rooms. All reflect the modern, smart design of the whole hotel, with comfortable furnishings, satellite TV and private bathrooms. There's a cosy bar and lounge area for a relaxing drink in the evening, and the friendly staff will be more than happy to advise you on the best local restaurants. In the morning you're entitled to a healthy buffet breakfast, whilst you plan your next memorable day in Sicily.

Popular tourist sights in Milazzo include the Arabic-Norman Castle, the 17th century cathedral and the sanctuary of St Anthony, a place of pilgrimage where the Saint sheltered after he was shipwrecked. The Cape of Milazzo is also popular for a romantic walk in the evening, with picturesque views and plenty of restaurants for an intimate meal. A visit to Milazzo wouldn't be complete without an excursion to the Aeolian Islands. A popular attraction is to go for a mud bath in the warm clay on Vulcano Island and then wash it off in sea, with warm waters which feel like a Jacuzzi because of the bubbling hot sulphurous gas. The most picturesque island is Stromboli, where you can hike 850 metres up the active volcano. This is particularly popular for an evening's excursion, with beautiful sights of the minor eruptions in front of a sunset backdrop.
