Located 10 miles off the coast of Sicily, the Egadi Islands sit within the sparkling, cerulean waters of the Mediterranean. The rocky, mountainous landscape hides a long history that dates to the Palaeolithic era, and the pace of life moves slowly here. The small population and unspoilt natural beauty are protected by the Egadi Islands Marine Reserve dedication.
This summer, guests staying at Verdura Resort can experience the Egadi Islands first-hand with an unforgettable cruise aboard a luxury yacht. Under the expert guidance of your own skipper, guests set sail from the charming port town of Sciacca, gliding across the waves to explore stunning bays, secret caves and swim in the azure waters.
The first port of call will be the island of Levanzo, the smallest of the three, where you’ll stop to take in the extraordinary cave paintings in the Grotta del Genovese, before heading on to the second island, Favignana, for a dip in the crystalline waters of Cala Rossa. The final island of Marettimo is renowned for its rich marine life and mountainous beauty. Stretch your legs with a stroll up its rocky crags or simply sit and wonder at its jaw-dropping beauty.

With its lively festivals, world-renowned galleries and museums, and thriving food scene, Munich is one of Germany’s most culturally rich cities. Sometimes hailed ‘the most northerly city in Italy’, the Bavarian capital is known for its readiness to embrace a Mediterranean lifestyle the moment the sun appears, its appreciation for Italian art and architecture, and its year-round love of Italian cuisine.
There’s something wholly restorative about a Sicilian winter, two words not often paired together. A slower pace of life takes hold, as cool mornings lead into soft, golden afternoons, summer’s haze giving way to fresh breezes and crystal-clear skies. Once a winter secret, now shared as Villa Igiea remains open throughout the season.
