7 Nights and 8 Days Singles Photography Vacations in Sicily

Sicily is an island of contrasts, mixed cultures and changing landscapes, so there’s nowhere better to hone your photography skills. With its stunning coastal vistas and UNESCO World Heritage towns that are a melting pot of different cultures and architectural styles, you’ll never be short of ‘picture-postcard’ shots that capture the spirit of this exotic island.

 

 

 

 

 

Where you’re going to stay
The villa where our photography course in Sicily takes place is held is on a private estate. The villa dates back to 1848 and was built in a typical Sicilian style. Chosen because of its location, it has some beautiful views of the surrounding areas, providing the perfect place for creative inspiration. Upon waking up in the morning – to clear blue skies – you can enjoy breakfast outside and soak up the views. Within the grounds of the estate, there is an outdoor pool which is surrounded by almond and olive trees. After a dip, you can sit back and relax on the terrace. Sicily is an ideal place for a Mediterranean island holiday and our villa is the perfect place to kick back and relax. View our photo gallery to see more of your photography venue.
