Travel Details – From Montreal to Sicily (via Rome)

We’re so excited to celebrate with you in Sicily. For many of you, this may be your first time visiting, so we’ve put together a simple guide to help you plan your trip.

We recommend staying around 10 days, including the wedding. This gives you time to enjoy the celebration and take in the beauty of Sicily. If you have more time, Rome is a great option to explore before or after.

Getting There- 2 options

#1) You can fly from Montreal to Rome. Most flights are overnight and arrive the next morning.

From Rome, you can take a short flight to Palermo, which is 30 mins from our wedding venue. Ideally, book your connection to Palermo for the same day you land in Rome.

Optional Stop in Rome

If you want to break up the trip or see more of Italy, spending a night or two in Rome is a great idea. The city is walkable, rich with history, and full of great food. Public transport and taxis are easy to use, so there’s no need to rent a car while you’re there.

#2) Direct Flight from Montreal to Catania. (Departing Tuesdays,Thursdays and Saturdays).

From Catania, you can take some time to explore the beautiful eastern part of the island, or make your way directly towards the venue. It is about a 3 hour drive from Catania to Villa Vittoria, or there are buses are that operated by Segesta Autolinee.

Getting Around in Sicily

Once in Palermo, we recommend renting a car to get around. Sicily is a huge island, and having your own vehicle makes it easier to explore the island and get to the wedding venue. If you prefer not to drive, taxis or private transfers are also available. We can organise a private transfer from the airport to the wedding venue, we just need to know your date and time of arrival.

Accommodations

The hotel where the wedding will take place is called Villa Vittoria and is exclusively booked out for our wedding, and for our guests. Kindly communicate how many of you will be in a room, and we will gladly reserve your room for you. You do not book your room yourself. You pay upon arrival at the hotel. If you do not wish to stay at one of our hotels, you can always book your stay at another hotel nearby. The main hotel is called Villa Vittoria, and we have a sister hotel called Enny Camere which is a 4 minute drive away. The hotel used to be a monastery, therefore it is small. If noise will be an issue for you, we recommend staying at Enny Camere. Private shuttle is available between the hotels.
