Romantic Sicily: Honeymoon Hotels You’ll Moon Over

If you’re looking for romance in Sicily, honeymoon itineraries can situate you in a host of magical and memorable locations all over this warm and welcoming Italian island. Whether you want to explore the stunning interior of the island or perch yourself on the dramatic coastline, as a popular destination for couples, there are a number of superb hotels that go out of their way to help you find romance in every detail.

The Ashbee

Evoking images of times gone by, the elegant Colonial ambience of the Ashbee is the perfect complement to the nearby town of Taormina, renowned as one of the most picturesque places in Sicily. Honeymoon couples will revel in the luxury of this stunning hotel, which is set amongst lush, tranquil gardens overlooking jaw-dropping panoramic vistas of the ocean.

The refined décor of the rooms sets the scene for romance and, with indulgent 5-star amenities including fine dining, a pool and a sun terrace, you can choose to hide yourself away for the duration or emerge to explore the delights of Taormina.

Villa Angela

Guaranteed to take your breath away, Villa Angela is perched on a hillside with the idyllic vision of Taormina spread out below. Guests can also enjoy the far-reaching views over to the magnificent Mt Etna. This lovely boutique hotel offers a genuinely intimate ambience, with its seemingly isolated location actually just a 15-minute walk from the town.

Crafted from original Taormina stone and decorated with local timbers and ceramics, the hotel’s subtle luxury is evident at every turn in the charming suites and common areas. With an excellent onsite restaurant and bar, and a very inviting pool with a view, how you spend your time is entirely up to you. This place oozes romance at every turn and it’s the perfect place for a Sicily honeymoon.

Relais Torre Marabino

Situated in a breath-taking inland location around an hour from Syracuse, Relais Torre Marabino is the epitome of a romantic Italian rural retreat. As the name suggests, the hotel is set within the character-filled surrounds of an ancient tower (dating back to the 1500s), which provides a unique and memorable environment for your couples’ retreat.

The distinctive original décor is offset by subtle luxury touches – including a Jacuzzi and a well-stocked fine wine cellar. With just seven bedrooms in the hotel, you’re guaranteed a very relaxed and private experience relaxing by the pool, enjoying the patio or exploring the nearby Baroque town of Ispica.

Less Stress, More Romance

After the endless stress involved in planning a wedding, the last thing you want to do is pile on more by having to organise your own holiday. When it comes to Sicily, honeymoon itineraries are better left to the experts, so all you have to do is show up and relax! Enlist the help of a reputable operator to organise your Sicily honeymoon and you’ll be free to make lifelong memories without worrying about the details.

These are just three of the many high quality hotels available for your couples’ holiday, so if the question is ‘is this one of the most romantic places in Italy?’ the answer is a resounding ‘yes’.
