Agriturismo, cave hotel, luxury villa with pool, trullo and more! Sicily, with its rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture, offers plenty of unique accommodations for travelers seeking an extraordinary stay. Here are my top 8 options:
Villa with Private Pool and a View
There are quite some luxurious villa's with a private pool available as vacation rental in Sicily. We stayed a week at this amazing place called Casa Vacanze Verdemare in Ribera. See pictures below! It was definitely the best pool we have ever seen with an incredible, breathtaking view on the sea. In the evenings we enjoyed the beautiful sunset! It's a short walk to the empty beach with crystal clear waters. The town Ribera is just a short drive and here you can find nice places to eat. We booked this accommodation here.
Lovely Hotel with swimming pool, breakfast & sea view
There are quite some small-scale lovely hotels with a swimming pool. We stayed at the Hotel Sporting Club which served a lovely breakfast, had a great restaurant, a swimming pool and a private beach! The rooms are spacious and they also have a family room with 2 separate bedrooms and a lovely sea view!
Agriturismo or Masseria
Another great option to experience the authentic rural charm of Sicily by staying at an agriturismo, a working farm that offers accommodations to guests. They often cultivate grapes, olives, fruit, sunflowers, or grains. Enjoy fresh, locally sourced meals, participate in farm activities, and immerse yourself in the region's traditions. Many 'agriturismi' have a delightful swimming pool that you, as a guest, can use.
Similar to 'agriturismi' are the Sicilian 'masserie', which are traditional Sicilian farmhouses that have been converted into charming guesthouses. Stay in a Sicilian masseria to experience authentic hospitality and sample delicious regional cuisine.
Tip: book via Booking.com (select type accommodation: farmstays) or agriturismo.it
Trullo Inspired by the traditional dry stone huts of southern Italy, trulli are unique cylindrical buildings with conical roofs. Stay in a lovingly restored trullo in Sicily's countryside for a truly unique and memorable experience.
Historic Palazzo
Sicily is home to many historic palazzos, grand residences that date back centuries. Stay in one of these opulent properties and immerse yourself in the island's rich history and culture.
Cave Hotel
Sicily's rugged landscape is dotted with caves that have been transformed into unique accommodations. Spend the night in a cave hotel and experience the ancient allure of Sicily's rocky terrain.
Glamping Tent
For those who love the outdoors but still crave comfort, glamping (glamorous camping) tents offer the perfect compromise. Set amidst Sicily's stunning natural scenery, these luxury tents provide all the comforts of a hotel room while allowing you to reconnect with nature.
Boutique Hotel in a Historic Village
Sicily is home to many picturesque historic villages, each with its own unique character and charm. Stay in a boutique hotel nestled within one of these villages and experience the timeless beauty of Sicilian village life.
These are just a few examples of the many unique accommodations that Sicily has to offer. Whether you're seeking luxury or rustic charm and natural beauty, there are quite some unique and special options in this enchanting island paradise.
