Italy’s sunbaked, southernmost region is absolutely enchanting. With mountains overlooking azure Mediterranean waters, its dramatic natural setting has an understandable pull on travelers the world over. A history-flecked region of abiding beauty, its distinct cultural tapestry has been shaped through a veritable melting pot of civilizations over time. Today, inviting piazzas, superb Italian gardens, Michelin-starred dining, authentic Sicilian warmth and the lure of the sea make the island, and the hill-top town of Taormina, the perfect place for a glamorous Italian sojourn. It’s going to be hard to leave. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
