Hotels in Sicily, Italy

Sicily is a large Mediterranean island off Italy's toe, known for its ancient Greek ruins like the Valley of Temples and Europe's tallest active volcano, Mount Etna. Summers are hot and dry (70-90°F / 21-32°C), perfect for lounging on sandy beaches like San Vito Lo Capo or swimming in the clear Tyrrhenian Sea, while winters are mild (50-65°F / 10-18°C) and you can ski on Etna's snowy slopes or explore Palermo's 12th-century Norman palaces and bustling markets. If you visit in spring, hike through the Valley of Temples when wildflowers bloom, or in fall, taste the harvest at olive oil farms and vineyards around Noto.
