Wedding venues in Sicily

Planning a company event in Sicily

Sicily suits an incentive trip more than a classic seminar: a group gets the sea, Etna, Baroque towns and Greek temples in one place, over a long season. Hotels in Taormina and the south-east and estates in the countryside host meetings in the morning and leave the afternoons free.

When to go

April to June and September to October suit most groups, with warm weather well into autumn. July and August are hot and the coast is busy. Many resort hotels close in winter, while Palermo and Catania host events all year.

Getting the team there

Catania and Palermo airports have direct flights from many European cities, more of them in summer. There is no high-speed rail on the island, so coaches handle transfers. Base the programme in one part of the island, east or west, rather than crossing it.

Venues

Resort hotels and historic grand hotels in Taormina and on the coast, country estates and masserie run as hotels around Noto and Ragusa, wine estates on Etna and palazzi in Palermo for dinners. Estates booked as a whole suit groups that want privacy.

Programme ideas

A guided walk or jeep tour on Etna, a boat trip along the coast or to the Aeolian Islands, a cooking class, wine tastings on Etna or around Marsala, and visits to Greek sites such as Syracuse, Taormina or Agrigento.

Questions and answers

6 of the 12 venues publish a capacity of 100 guests or more: Palazzo Biscari, Grand Hotel et Des Palmes, Grand Hotel Villa Politi, Villa Orchidea, Mareneve Resort, and Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa.

Which venues in Sicily list their meeting rooms?

9 of the 12 venues name their meeting and event rooms, with capacities where published: Palazzo Biscari, Grand Hotel et Des Palmes, Baglio Sorìa Resort & Wine Experience, Grand Hotel Villa Politi, Excelsior Palace Hotel, Villa Orchidea, and 3 more.

What kinds of venues are listed in Sicily?

10 hotels, 1 historic house, and 1 estate.

How are these venues chosen and ordered?

By documented renown first, then by how fully each venue is documented (photographs, rooms, capacities), never by payment: venues do not pay to appear and the guide takes no commission. How we select venues.

Is Sicily a good destination for an incentive trip?

Yes. The island combines sea, volcano, Baroque towns, Greek sites and its own cuisine, with direct flights from many European cities and a season from spring to autumn. Choose one base, east or west, to keep transfers manageable.

Where to hold a corporate retreat in Sicily?

Around Taormina and Etna in the east, in the Baroque south-east near Noto and Ragusa, or in Palermo and the west. Hotels and country estates in exclusive use suit teams that want the place to themselves.

When is the best time for a company trip to Sicily?

From April to June and in September and October. Summer is hot and crowded, and many seaside hotels close between late autumn and spring.
