Rugged coastlines, mountainous interiors, rolling hills and charming hilltop towns combine to provide an enormously varied and often dramatic landscape. Throw in a few ancient archaeological sites and a sprinkling of offshore islands and the possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of Andrea Camilleri\u2019s Inspector Montalbano or one of the many millions who watched The White Lotus season 2, you\u2019ll already be familiar with some of Sicily\u2019s best-loved film and TV locations. Others are less well-known so read on to check out some of the best Sicily filming locations to mark on your holiday map and where to stay for easy access to them.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Taormina filming locations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>White Lotus season 2<\/strong> has produced a wave of interest in Sicily as a tourism destination. Anyone who watched it \u2013 and there were millions! \u2013 couldn\u2019t fail to have been bewitched by the charm of Taormina. The series was set largely in the luxury San Domenico Palace hotel but the medieval streets of the town, the Greek theatre and gorgeous beaches also enjoyed a starring role. Noto also made an appearance when characters Daphne and Harper took a day trip there.<\/p>\n<p>But this isn\u2019t the first time that the area around Taormina has found fame through its filming locations. Close to Taormina, the mountain towns of Savoca and Forza d\u2019Agr\u00f2 have long been associated with their part in the filming of <strong>The Godfather<\/strong> (1972): Savoca \u2013 and specifically Bar Vitelli and the San Nicol\u00f2 church &#8211; in the first film, and the beautifully preserved medieval hilltop town of Forza d\u2019Agr\u00f2 for parts II and III.<\/p>\n<p><em>Where to stay<\/em>: <a title=\"Casa dei Sogni wishsicily\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/en\/acireale\/villas-in-sicily\/casa-dei-sogni\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Casa dei Sogni<\/a> (sleeps 13) is a stylish, high-tech villa with a pool and outdoor children\u2019s play area, half-way between Catania and Taormina.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2523\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2523\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/AM_2460.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"966\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/AM_2460.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/AM_2460-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/AM_2460-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2523\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Casa dei Sogni<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Filming in Palermo and surrounding towns<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Several scenes from The White Lotus season 2 were also filmed in Palermo, as well as the elegant streets of nearby Mondello. Palermo also features in the original 1963 film of <strong>The Leopard<\/strong> (Il Gattopardo) and in the more recent 2024\/5 Netflix production of the same story. This glorious recent adaptation of one of Italy\u2019s great classics takes us into the heart of historic central Palermo, to the Quattro Canti, the Piazza Pretoria and into 18<sup>th<\/sup> century palaces that dazzle and sparkle. Close to Palermo, the town of Bagheria is home to the stunning Baroque Villa Valguarnera, the Salina family residence. The real Palazzo Valguarnera-Gangi in Bagheria was used for filming in both the 1963 film and the 2024 series and is today a historic private residence.<\/p>\n<p>The region around Palermo also played a starring role in one of Italy\u2019s cinema greats \u2013 <strong>Cinema Paradiso<\/strong>. Bagheria was the birthplace of the film\u2019s screenwriter and director, Giuseppe Tornatore, and the fictional village of Giancaldo was loosely based around it. However, the real location for the village square in the film is Piazza Umberto I in Palazzo Adriano, to the south of Palermo. The coastal towns of Cefal\u00f9 and Termini Imerese, in addition to Castelbuono in the mountainous Madonie, also feature.<\/p>\n<p><em>Where to stay<\/em>: Stylish <a title=\"Olivia wishsicily\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/en\/trabia\/villas-in-sicily\/olivia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Olivia<\/a> (sleeps 8) is set among the olive groves close to Bagheria, home to The Leopard\u2019s Villa Valguarnera.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5148\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5148\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5148\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DJI_0004.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"966\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DJI_0004.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DJI_0004-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DJI_0004-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5148\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Olivia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Montalbano in southeast Sicily<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The TV serialisation of Andrea Camilleri\u2019s <strong>Inspector Montalbano<\/strong> books has been a huge success, with actor Luca Zingaretti proving to be as captivating as some of the locations in which the series was filmed. Filming was concentrated in several of southeast Sicily\u2019s baroque towns including Ragusa Ibla where the Piazza Duomo often appears as fictional Vigata and the city\u2019s piazzas and winding lanes also pop up in scenes. Visit Scicli where the real police station is used for fictional Vigata\u2019s police headquarters, and Noto where the Ducezio Palace became Montelusa\u2019s Town Hall and San Tommaso monastery appeared as Vigata\u2019s prison. Even more iconic is the seaside house overlooking Punta Secca beach which was Montalbano\u2019s home.<\/p>\n<p>While the recent version of <strong>The Leopard<\/strong> was primarily filmed in Palermo, Catania \u2013 and specifically the Palazzo Biscari &#8211; provided the setting for several spectacular ball scenes.
