The Hotel Gresi, Catania. This three-star accommodation is within a recently (and very nicely) renovated eighteenth century palazzo. The owners of this Catania hotel have carefully retained the charm and beauty of the colonial palazzi of the time, with beautifully frescoed ceilings. Plaster figurines and painted murals.

Hotel Biancaneve, Nicolosi. This Sicilian hotel is set within the lush Mediterranean green of the Mount Etna national park. Sitting on the foothills of the majestic volcano, this three-star hotel sits in the lovely village of Nicolosi, and is just 15 kilometres from both the blue waters of the Ionian.

Hotel Punta Scario, Malfa, on Isola Di Salina. This beautiful Salina hotel occupies a breathtaking clifftop location on this, one of the loveliest of the very lovely Aeolian Islands.

The Andromaco Palace Hotel, Taormina. Although just a half mile from the centre of this ancient city, this Taormina hotel lies in a blessedly peaceful spot on Via Galiano Martino. Constructed in a classic and elegant style, this Taormina hotel offers a superb blend of functionality and comfort.

Hotel Orsa Maggiore, Isola Di Vulcano. This Vulcano hotel is set within a small pine wood, less than a quarter of a mile from the sea and just a kilometre from the thermal spa of the volcanic island.
