Staying in Sicily

A question I often get asked is where should people book to stay in Sicily when they visit Sicily, whether it be Taormina, Catania, Messina or any other part of this wonderful island.

The first time I visited Sicily I booked my flights and my hotel through http://www.expedia.co.uk/ and I have to admt, they are very good. I like the service they offer and the hotel was quite decent. The more I travel and now with a family in tow with kids to think about, I happily came across the idea in Barcelona of apartments rental. I love the concept of staying in an apartment and being able to make 1 or 2 meals in the apartment now and again to reduce the holiday costs a little and also to have the space for the familt to relax. One thing more than any I found was that it can actually save a lot of money on hotel costs.

Last time I went to Sicily I rented an apartment in Catania for 10 days and all went perfect. It was just the slowness of the check in staff at Catania airport that bothered me. The stay itself though was good. You have to go up the Etna and visit Taormina. It is stunning.
