    Re-posting this from Silver to get at least some feedback :)

    We are thinking with my wife to spend our anniversary this year in Sicily. One week. From what I read and heard it should be a wonderful romantic place.

    I appreciate any feedback and pointers to make this vacation super and reduce planning stress. Good food, wine, hotel(s), sightseeing, historic places are all important... Thank you!

    My wife and I just returned. Taormina Village on the northeast shore is spectacular. We stayed at one of two Orient Express Hotels. Villa Santa Andrea. It was terrific. Sister hotel up on top of the mountain offers exchange meals and accomodations. Trip to Siracusa was fantastic. Did not get over to Palermo, but will do that next trip.

    Go to Stromboli - its by ferry boat from Milazzo.
    Hiking the Volcano was very impressive.
