About us
Sicily Luxury Villas is the result of a long friendship between Vania and Fabrizio, two like-minded people who shared both a passionate love for Sicily and the desire to enable discerning international travellers to discover this multifaceted island from the comfort of its most prestigious villas. Back in 2005 Vania and Fabrizio pooled their local knowledge and international savoir faire, and created a portfolio of luxury villas in which guests were guaranteed to find all possible comforts, backed up by the kind of tailor-made service that only those who had lived and breathed Sicily throughout their lives could offer. Thus was Travel Sicilia born, the company that still manages sicilyluxuryvillas.com’s exclusive real estate catalogue of vacation villas and apartments – ranging from historic aristocratic residences to some truly stunning examples of contemporary architecture.

AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES OFFERING DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE ISLAND AND
ITS INHABITANTS WITHOUT SACRIFICING 5-STAR COMFORT
Regularly inspected properties
All properties are regularly inspected and “given a test run” before being included in the catalogue. Our staff periodically stay at all villas and apartments, so that our guests’ holiday can take place without unpleasant surprises surrounded by the kinds of thoughtful comforts they would expect at home!
Tailor made holidays
We offer an consultancy service to all travellers from before arrival on the island – we are even happy to assist clients in choosing the villa that best suits their needs. Thorough knowledge of Sicily’s cities, towns, villages, landscapes and coasts, and of its culture and traditions, allows us to offer guests travel experiences that are truly unique: authentic cooking classes where guests can learn about the flavors and aromas of the island; fishing trips on a traditional felucca to catch swordfish; and expert guided tours of Mount Etna volcano are just some examples.
Sicily: A Truly Unique Location
As anyone familiar with the advertising spots of Dolce and Gabbana will testify, Sicily offers a vast panoply of incredible monuments that range from magnificent ancient Greek temples to Norman cathedrals, and from idyllic unspoilt islands and landscapes of rare beauty to historic country houses oozing ancient romance and splendor… all of which are ideal locations for the creation of advertising spots, feature films, TV series or unforgettable personalized events. With years of experience in location finding and management, we can guarantee to meet the most bizarre or exacting of needs.
