Lots of people prefer to holiday outside of the peak tourism months and May is a great time to plan a trip to
Italy as the real tourist crowds have yet to descend but the temperatures have begun to get rise in earnest, prices for flights and accommodation remain a little lower, and, as the season is just about to turn, you get the best of both spring blooms and beauty and summer fun. A
luxury villa in Sicily, in particular, is perfect for a May getaway and if you are spending time in
Sicily during the third week of the month there is one town that you should definitely visit,
Noto.
Noto is a beautiful town with cinematic good looks that features UNESCO-awarded
Baroque architectural gems and very pretty and typical winding little streets. In May, it becomes even more beautiful when the annual Infiorata di Noto festival takes place and the scent of flowers becomes heavy in the air. Infiorata happens in cities all over Italy in May and June and is a festival of floral art displays, with works of art created from flower petals to adorn city streets and historic buildings, but the Infiorata celebration in Noto is the most famous of all.
