Autumn in Sicily is a beautiful season but as temperatures continue to dip and evenings become longer and darker, it becomes increasingly tempting to start thinking seriously about your next summer holiday<\/strong>. Here at Wish Sicily, bookings are already beginning to flow in for the summer months and unsurprisingly, the biggest demand is for large holiday villas for families<\/strong>. So if you like the idea of avoiding the post-Christmas panic, of booking your flights and getting your summer holiday sorted early, here are some top tips for your holiday planning.<\/p>\n

Family villas in the best locations<\/h3>\n

Spend time discussing the best location for your family holiday villa<\/strong>. Do you prefer to be by the beach or are you happy lounging by a pool? Many of our villas in Sicily<\/a> are on the beach or just a few minutes\u2019 walk from it.\u00a0 If you are holidaying with young children, you may love the freedom of being able to pop down to the beach for a quick swim or play in the sand without having to worry about transporting all the paraphernalia that a full day on the beach often requires.<\/p>\n

For families with older children, we often recommend one of our villas for families<\/strong><\/p>\n

in the countryside<\/strong> or on the slopes of Mount Etna. This gives you access to all sorts of adventure activities and excursions, yet the coast is still within easy reach. There is also a good chance that you will get more space and generally more for your money<\/strong> by staying in a villa closer to Sicily\u2019s interior.<\/p>\n

Villas for groups and several families<\/h3>\n

Buddying up with other families means instant playmates for the kids and more relaxation time for parents<\/strong>! This is easily doable in our large villas for families.<\/strong> The other significant advantage is that our larger Sicilian villas<\/a> are surrounded by spacious gardens, usually with a pool and often with add-on facilities such as table tennis. Many also have an outdoor kitchen, which, if you are taking your holiday in Sicily in the heat of the summer, makes cooking for a large group more manageable and certainly much more fun!<\/p>\n

Sicily villas to rent for special celebrations<\/h3>\n

If you have a special celebration coming up, gathering friends or family in a large villa in Sicily is one of the most enjoyable ways we know to mark the occasion<\/strong>. What could be more special than whiling away the hours creating valuable memories as you sit chatting over al fresco lunches or exploring the local towns and countryside?<\/p>\n

At most of our large holiday villas, we can organise a chef to prepare a traditional Sicilian meal on any night of your holiday<\/strong>, which means that with minimum planning, you can join your guests by the pool rather than worrying about shopping and cooking!<\/p>\n

Our larger holiday villas do get booked up quite a long way in advance<\/strong> so if this is something that you are considering, start planning early.<\/p>\n

The best holiday villas in Sicily for families<\/a> are often the first to be snapped up, but don\u2019t worry- we have a huge array to choose from! Start planning soon and<\/strong> take advantage of our incredible choice of holiday homes <\/strong>for an unforgettable Sicilian family holiday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
