Welcome to a historic residence at the foot of Palazzo Conte Federico , just steps from the historic Ballarò market. A charming Bed and Breakfast in Palermo that, thanks to meticulous restoration, has returned the building to its former glory. This refined B&B in a restored, 18th-century building is a 4-minute walk from the Cadorna bus station, 6 minutes' walk from the Palatine Chapel and 7 minutes' walk from the Quattro Canti fountains.
Grotta dei Lamponi is a lava-flow cave on Etna’s northern side, near Castiglione di Sicilia, formed during the volcano’s great 1614–1624 eruption. At approximately 1,750 metres, its principal cave system extends for around 400 metres, though broader geological measurements exceed 700 metres; unstable sections and difficult access mean that entry should only be attempted with appropriate equipment and qualified personnel.
Ristorante Coria is a Michelin-starred fine-dining restaurant in Catania’s historic centre, where chef-owners Domenico Colonnetta and Francesco Patti offer a contemporary interpretation of Sicilian cuisine. Set within the elegant Palazzo San Demetrio, its refined yet welcoming dining room combines historic character with clean modern design, while Etna-inspired artwork and a Sicily-focused wine list underscore its sense of place.
The Roman Villa of Casale, around 3 km from Piazza Armerina, is an elaborate fourth-century aristocratic residence offering an unusually detailed portrait of elite life in late Roman Sicily. Its 3,500 m² of exceptionally preserved mosaics include the spectacular Great Hunt and the famous ‘Bikini Girls’, while courtyards, reception rooms, private apartments, service areas and an extensive thermal complex reveal the scale of the estate.
On a hill just outside the ruins of ancient Segesta, overlooking the Gulf of Castellammare, stands an unusually well-preserved Doric temple, thought by some to have been built around 420 BC by an Athenian architect. Its six-by-fourteen columns and unfinished details—including unfluted shafts and lifting tabs left in place—suggest that construction was never completed, while its association with the indigenous Elymians makes it a particularly intriguing Greek-style monument.
