The Taste of Sicily.....

Sicilian cuisine has its own identity bursting with intense, fruity and aromatic flavours and offers a rich repertoire of dishes with locally grown delicious produce and a fantastic selection of restaurants.

Like the island, Sicilian cuisine sets itself apart from the Italian mainland. Each civilisation ever to step foot on Sicilian soil has left their mark not only in the island’s charming towns and villages, but have also influenced the food.

Villa del Lauro - as featured in Saturday Times 22/03/14

1. 

   Villa del Lauro has been recreated into a small boutique hotel from an old Baroque style mansion house in the historic town of Ragusa in south east Sicily. Situated among the picturesque streets close to the steps accessing Ragusa Ibla, this hotel boasts a garden with pool so is an ideal base for relaxation whilst exploring this interesting area of the island.

   
   

    Ragusa, Sicily 

    Sicilian holidays tend to focus on the north and east coasts accessed via Palermo and Catania, but exploring the rugged south coast will be easier now that Ryanair flies four times a week to Comiso. A short drive from the airport is the city of Ragusa, known for its Baroque architecture and the central Piazza Duomo, which comes to life in the evening with restaurants, including three with Michelin stars. After a day exploring, cool off in the pool of the Villa del Lauro hotel. Rooms retain their original arched ceilings but have a contemporary feel.

    Details Three nights’ B&B is from £389pp, including Ryanair flights and car hire (01202 489040, justsicily.co.uk)
