La Nicchia, San Vito lo Capo, Sicily
La Nicchia is a small bed and breakfast located on Via Mondello, a short walk to Via Savoia, the main street of San Vito lo Capo, and about 5 minutes walk from the beach.
On arrival we phoned the number given on the door and a charming lady called Paolo was there to greet us in moments. Paolo did not speak English however we used Google translate to communicate! Paolo gave us a map and recommended a few restaurants nearby.
B&B La Finestra sul Massimo, Palermo, Sicily
What a wonderful find La Finestra sul Massimo was!
The location was ideal – on Piazza Verdi – literally behind the Teatro Massimo – Palermo’s Opera House.
From Piazza Verdi you can walk to many places of interest in Palermo – between the new and the old town.
B&B Il Cappero, Lipari, Sicily
B&B Il Cappero is a charming guesthouse on the island of Lipari – the largest of the Aeolian Islands in Sicily.
We caught a ferry from Mizzaro, on Sicily’s mainland, to Lipari. It is a very pleasant trip of just under one hour. Arriving at Lipari’s Marina Lunga at around 1.47pm we phoned Il Cappero and were advised that the driver who was to pick us up to take us to our accommodation, did not work between 1pm and 3pm! It was a good opportunity for us to enjoy lunch and we found a waterfront bar called Fratelli Laise with outdoor seating overlooking the water at Marina Lunga, and had a Panini and salad.

The reception foyer is impressive with high ceilings. The hotel features beautiful hanging rugs and artwork of the local people.
At one end of the hotel is the restaurant, large gift shop and terraces overlooking the valley.
