Holiday in Sicily<\/a> during the months of April, May and June and plunge into a world of scented floral blooms, blossoming trees and the fresh flavours of springtime.

Quite simply, spring is one of the loveliest times to holiday in Sicily.<\/strong> Here are just a few of the reasons why.<\/p>\n

Flower carpet in Noto<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You certainly don\u2019t need a reason to visit the stunning baroque town of Noto \u2013 the honey-coloured palazzi and churches, and balcony-lined streets are quite enough of an attraction \u2013 but there\u2019s an added bonus over the weekend of 13-15 May 2022 in the form of the town\u2019s dazzling flower festival, the Infiorata di Noto.<\/p>\n

Themed this year on the 20th<\/sup> anniversary of UNESCO adding the 8 towns of the Val di Noto to its World Heritage List, the 43rd Infiorata di Noto adds a splash of colour to the mellow-hued town. Throughout the weekend, you\u2019ll get the chance to gaze at the annual traditional floral display which carpets the Via Corrado Nicolaci with an intricate mosaic design made up of around 400,000 flower petals. Stay on the coast at Villa Lo Scoglio<\/a>, a seafront villa with easy access to Noto and Syracuse.<\/p>\n
