I will be traveling to Sicily 2002 with my family, which consists of four adults and one teenager. I am looking for suggestions on hotels and restaurants in the following cities Taormina, Palermo and Agrigento. I prefer small moderately priced hotels. I welcome any travel suggestions concerning Sicily because I'm now in the planning stages for this trip.

Villa Belvedere in Taormina <BR>Villa Athena in Agrigento <BR>Hotel Centrale Palace in Palermo (Best Western) <BR>Do the text search here. You will find a number of posts about both Villas

Forgot to add that we did not stay in Hotel Centrale Palace in Palermo but heard it is a great place. We went inside and checked out. It looked nice and so close to everything. We stayed just a few doors down at the Grande Albergo Sole which I cannot recommend. Grande Albergo Sole was very, very inexpensive and we got just that

I reccomend Baglio Conca d'Oro in Palermo, Baglio della Luna in Agrigento. In Taormina San Domenico, but its not so cheap: goto www.mediterraneo.it and have a look of these hotels and rates

Francesco we told you already stop advertising here. <BR> JoAnne search this board instead of relying on Francesco who is trying to sell his services

Just back from Sicily. <BR> <BR>In palermo we stayed at the Jolly Hotel. Very nice hotel and across the street from Villa Giulia which is a very nice park. They are totally re-doing the hotel including new walls, floors, etc. The rooms that have been started are completely gutted and it will be nice when done. They also have a pool which is heated. www.jollyhotels.it <BR> <BR>Taormina, I also suggest the Villa Belvedere. www.villabelvedere.it <BR>

See my posting elsewhere (Palermo Hotels) recommending the Massimo Plaza Hotel in Palermo, the best mid-priced boutique "hotel de charme" in town.

Good afternoon, Jo was glad to hear <BR>your positive remarks about the JOLLY <BR>HOTEL DEL FORO ITALICO, about a month <BR>ago had remarks that the hotel was a <BR>mess due to remodeling. We have used <BR>the JOLLY, five or six times over that last 25 years and had always been very <BR>satisified with the hotel, its service, <BR>accomodations as well as their dining <BR>room.
