Palatial Sicily Holiday with Car Hire

Settle into a luxurious spa palazzo a short stroll from the hilltop old town of Ragusa in southeast Sicily - includes car hire, breakfast, flights and a massage discounts

For those seeking the best of both worlds on their holiday to Sicily, consider the beautifully restored De Stefano Palace as a base for exploring the beautiful sights of the island’s rugged southeast. With a delicious breakfast spread, a spa for indulgent relaxation and a great location close to the heart of old Ragusa, yet just a few minutes’ drive from the verdant Val di Noto countryside, the hotel is a great jumping-off point for adventures around the capital of Baroque.

Arrive to a warm hammam – the small but perfectly formed spa is perfect for soaking away the strains of your journey. After a morning of relaxing, stroll into town for gelato or snacks of crispy arancini and cream cannoli, served with a glass of rustic local wine. Return to chic bedrooms with traditional features like barrel-vaulted ceilings and floors made from locally quarried stone.

With a hire car at your disposal you have the freedom to explore the island in detail: discover Noto’s burnished gold streets lined with grand baroque palazzi on an evening passeggiata; drive the Strada del Val di Noto wine road and nip into some of the local vineyards to sample the goods; or head to the coast to swim in warm, clear waters.
