We went on holiday to Sicily last May - pre pregnancy, so can't comment on the baby friendliness of specific accommodation. But it's a fantastic place to visit and would definitely go back. We found this small company, who specialise in Southern Italy/Sicily wonderful to deal with.

We stayed in Casa Etna- which was up in the hills above Taormina with amazing views of Mount Etna. Taormina is very pretty but quite glitzy. Have heard good things about Cefalu too.

a long long time ago, we went as children (not babies though) 3 times to Sicily, it is a wonderful and very child friendly place. We stayed twice in Taormina (at a place called the Hotel Belvedere, which had a palm tree in the middle of the swimming pool) and once in Cefalu (during the mafia trials in the 80s, our hotel was full of buff policemen who'd be brought in from the mainland - I digress). I can't give you any specific recommendations, other than I recall it being pretty pricy, but it is just beautiful. At the restaurants we went to, my sister and I were doted on by the staff and in one place allowed to watch our lunch being made! When our budget allows I would love to take my husband and daughter there so lots of luck!

We stayed in Baglio Oneto on the West of the island with a 2 year old and the staff were very accommodating - but it wasn't self catering.


A year later we went to Masseria Pernice, which was self catering (if you chose) or there was a cook on site who could make you meals. It's also a working vineyard and served the best wine I've ever tasted (free most of the time!). The apartments weren't very plush but the place and the food were beautiful.


There was another hotel we stayed in when my daughter was 5 months old in Castellammara del Golfo. I cna't remember what it was called but it was right in the centre with a lovely pool and a fab restaurant. The staff were lovely and adored having children around - my daughter would regularly get carried off to see the chefs in the kitchen!

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
