Sicily
is much bigger than you think at 25,708 sq km (9,926sq miles), imagine
a triangle joining Bristol, London and Manchester. Sicilian public transport
outside of big towns in summer is reliable but not very frequent - so
hiring a car is a recommended. As with most foreign car hire deals, it can be costly to arrange once there - so book it before you travel. All major companies are represented at Trapani (TPS) and Palermo (PMO) airports and we recommend we recommend GB£ Sterling guests contact Romolo Rotulo's ATOL bonded Romeo Travel Agency as he can often get you a cheaper price than the internet. Use the links below to obtain a rough idea of the likely cost and then give him a call on 01296 489 190 or email romeotvl@aol.com. MaviRent, NoloMania and Maggiore are local and Italian companies. |

Driving
in Sicily itself is not as bad as you may think. Ooutside towns the
roads are not very busy. We offer our booking guests our exclusive PDF
downloads which contain advice for driving in Sicily alongside instructions
on how to navigate from both Palermo and Trapani airports to the villas.

But
if you Dont Hire a Car...tell us beforehand! |
| If you decide not to hire car, please be aware that public transport exists but has its limitations. If you rent Villa Anna, we have 4 bicycles for you to use - or you can hire other bikes and mopeds from NonSolo Cicli in Marausa. For a contribution towards petrol we're happy to take you grocery shopping. Whilst we cannot transport large groups, if agreed at the time of booking we can normally arrange to transport couples and small families to and from the bus stops in Marausa town, the railway station and Bus station in Trapani. (Check the Your Holiday section for costs/details). |
