Mount Etna is one of Italy’s most iconic, and destructive, peaks. If you are enjoying a stay in one of our villas in Sicily, it will be a looming presence for the entirety of your time on the gorgeous island, always visible above the stunning landscape. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, and the highest in Europe, Mount Etna is located on the east coast of the island and is called mongibello (beautiful mountain) by the people of Sicily. Rising above the city of Catania and the surrounding greenery, the mountain paints a striking picture of white snow against black bands of lava, burning red fires, and smoke rising overhead. Impressive, awe-inspiring, iconic, and boasting amazing views over the island and the coast, it is possible to scale this famous volcano for yourself. So, if you’re staying in one of our vacation rentals in Sicily and you are thinking about an excursion up the Beautiful Mountain, then read on:

Sicily, in particular, is a region of Italy that is full of incredible architectural gems and great architectural cities from the Arab-Norman wonders of Palermo to the ornate and sumptuous Baroque seen in Noto. As such, many of the towns and cities of the island are well-worth simply wandering while keeping your eyes properly open to all of the beauty all around you. Those who find a villa in Syracuse should definitely take this advice to heart as there are ample world-class monuments to visit but the streets, in general, are dotted with gorgeous buildings both famous and little-known that are true architectural wonders. So, seek out the attractions in town but also explore, get a little bit lost, and take in the beauty of this city during a vacation in Sicily.

However, don’t come expecting the culture of mainland Italy but, rather, a distinct culinary scene, history, language, and more. Those who book a villa in Sardinia will come to find that there is nowhere else quite like it…
