We\u2019re only a couple of weeks into the New Year but we reckon it\u2019s never too early to start planning a spring or summer break \u2013 and it seems that the UK press agrees with us! Media pages over the last two weeks have been jam-packed with great holiday ideas, for families, couples and for groups of friends, with several Wish Sicily villas amongst them. In case you missed them, here\u2019s a selection of the best.<\/p>\n

Daily Telegraph \u2013 75 Greatest Family Holidays for 2018<\/h3>\n

The Telegraph\u2019s round-up of 75 Greatest Family Holidays<\/a> was every parent\u2019s answer to organising their family holiday. Regardless of whether you have under-5\u2019s or stroppy teens, the article features enough ideas to provide inspiration for everyone.\u00a0 The article leads with a photo of our Villa La Forma dell\u2019Acqua, a 6-bedroom villa which provides a great getaway for families with toddlers who are tempted by the idea or other adult company. Highlights include a toddler play area, a pool and a garden path down to the beach at Donnalucata in south east Sicily.<\/p>\n

Anyone with older children will know that teenagers can be as tricky to please as toddlers. In its teen section, The Telegraph article recommends our Villa Arte Mare Blue, a unique property close to the beach resort of Cefal\u00f9. The five-bedroom villa has an outdoor kitchen with wood-burning pizza oven, a games room and an external annex with bedroom and bathroom that is ideal for teenagers.<\/p>\n

The Times \u2013 The 50 Best Holidays in Italy for 2018<\/h3>\n

Sicily holidays crop up repeatedly in the Times\u2019 selection of 50 best holidays in Italy<\/a>, and it\u2019s easy to see why. Blessed with long spells of warm sunshine and towns and cities that have been shaped by an extraordinary history, our island really has something to offer all types of holidaymakers.<\/p>\n

We were delighted to see The Times include in its selection our Learn Italian in Sicily holidays. This year we\u2019ve expanded our range of tours and activities with the addition of Italian lessons. The private lessons take place in the comfort of your holiday villa and can be taken at a time to suit you. A sample holiday is \u00a3617 (sleeps 2) for a week at Casetta Mola, a one-bedroom luxury cottage, with a shared infinity pool, on the Case di Tindari estate.<\/p>\n
