Dear holidaymaker,
The days are well and truly hotting up here in Sicily: air temperatures are rising daily and sea temperatures are creeping up to the balmy mid-20’s. Meanwhile, market stalls are packed with seasonal summer fruits and vegetables such as glistening red cherries, deep purple glossy aubergines and the first of the crop of velvety apricots.
To celebrate the start of summer, we’re offering some great deals on a selection of villas, including several that have been recently added to our collection. Take a look at our selection below or visit the special offers section on our website for the full list.
The festival of Santa Rosalia (14-15 July)
July brings with it Palermo’s most important celebration, the festival of the city’s patron saint, Santa Rosalia. The spectacular event showcases the massive procession of the relics of the saint through streets lined with street food stalls selling the traditional goodies of sfinciuni (Sicilian pizza), watermelon and nougat. The event culminates with a giant fireworks display.
Santa Rosalia offer: between 9 and 22 July, you can save 25% at Villa Cecilia, a seafront villa estate with accommodation for up to 22 guests and a vast pool complex set amongst magnificent flower-filled gardens.
