When should we book?

As early as possible. July is a busy season in Taormina and the best hotels fill quickly.

Which airport is the best?

Catania Airport is the recommended airport for guests travelling to the wedding.

Where should we stay?

We recommend staying in the city center near Corso Umberto or, for a beach stay, looking for accommodation in Giardini Naxos or Letojanni.

Please come elegantly dressed and also keep in mind that it will be hot, so dress accordingly for summer weather in Sicily.

If the weather allows it, the party will be outdoor. If the weather is bad, it will be indoor in a covered pavilion at the same location.
