For those dreaming of a perfect seaside break in Italy, Sicily is one destination that offers an endless list of gorgeous coastal towns, resorts, and little coves and bays that can be enjoyed on all sorts of days at the beach. From days spent luxuriating at beach resorts with a well-made cocktail, to holidays where water sports are tried for the first time or skills are improved upon, to escaping to a little gem where you can enjoy the sound of the lapping waves and enjoy peace and quiet – there’s a perfect beach option for anyone who books a villa in Sicily.

Among all of the pretty seaside towns and areas on the island, however, we think that one of the most picturesque and charming of all has to be Scopello. Located on the north-west of the island, this little village is in the Province of Trapani, 10km from Castellammare del Golfo, and borders the Riserva Naturale dello Zingaro. Down in a little bay, framed by green hills and striking cliffs, looking out onto impressive rock stacks jutting out of impossibly blue waters, is a collection of charming stone buildings that constitute this photogenic village.

A lot of Italy’s beloved Christmas foods have become famous around the world in recent years. In particular, her panettone fruit cake has been made a fixture of many displays of Christmas foods in stores all over the globe each year. However, this is actually only one such cake from the country and there are lots of other regional versions that are well worth sampling. In fact, booking a villa in Italy over the Holidays is ideal for the curious foodie as there are all sorts of amazing seasonal delights to be sampled! 

If you were to book a vacation rental in Sicily, for example, in addition to enjoying milder winter weather, fascinating historic sites, amazing natural beauty, and a distinct local culture and traditions, you can also try amazing regional Christmas treats, including their own festive fruit cake: Buccellato.
