Big villas don't grow on trees....

Organising a summer holiday for a large group? Need lots of space, a pool, shady outside dining areas, extensive gardens and a secure environment for the kids?

Mid-week rentals for Easter in Sicily

For the Easter period, why not take advantage of our mid-week villa offer. Start your rental on any day of the week and stay for 7,8,9 nights (or even longer!). Mid-week flights are often cheaper and you will also be able to experience Easter in Sicily in full, including the evocative "mystery" processions on Good Friday and the general partying that goes on once Lent is over! It is also the ideal period for sightseeing and, if last year's weather is anything to go by, to get your tan off to a flying start.

 

Call us on +44 (0) 20 73778518 to find out about availability!

A special recommendation: Carluccio on thinkSicily

"I rarely endorse people or companies but Huw, Rossella and Think Sicily are an exception. They seem to have created the perfect balance for those wishing to enjoy the immense cultural and natural heritage of Sicily. My wife and I have spent several unforgettable holidays tailor-made for us by Think Sicily. Their attention to detail and local knowledge ensured that everything, from the moment we arrived to the day of our departure, worked out well. You know you are in capable hands......."

Siracusa defeats the mighty Athens

Siracusa was always the most important and powerful Greek city in Sicily and in 413BC it became arguably the most powerful city in the whole of the Mediterranean. Bellicose Athens had had its eye on the western Mediterranean for some time and Siracusa, and Sicily in general, was certainly well-known to them. The great Herodotus himself paid considerable attention to the island in his Histories. There was, however, a little problem.......

An Antonio CarluccioSicilian recipe

Knives, aprons and saucepans at the ready for another wonderful recipe from of our good friend and valued client, Antonio Carluccio. Last time it was mouthwatering stuffed baked anchovies and this time it is tasty caponatina, a dish that Antonio describes as "one of Sicily’s most popular and versatile aubergine dishes. It can be eaten warm but is also delicious cold". I would certainly agree with that... Why not give it a try?

An island retreat in a sea of blue

Dammuso Luna - on the island of Pantelleria

Giorgio Armani and Gerard Depardieu have houses on the island of Pantelleria, as does Fabio Capello, the new England manager. Countless other big names come and go, soaking up the unique atmosphere, the beguiling views and the simple, laid-back way of life.

 

Then there are the Dammusi, lavastone houses that emerge almost organically from the surrounding countryside. One of the finest examples of these is Dammuso Luna, a proud new addition to our portfolio of the very best villas in Sicily. 

 

Stunning sea views, direct access to the big blue, an internal, courtyard with pool, Jacuzzi corner and shady outside living area .....just a few reasons why we think you should book it post haste!
