Families seeking a break from the traditional summer holiday can experience an authentic taste of Sicily when they stay at the five-star Donnafugata Golf Resort & SPA until September – with a five-night stay for a family of four available from €2,100 (approx £1,520).

Enjoying average temperatures of around 29⁰C over the summer months , the Mediterranean's largest island offers the perfect combination for a sparkling family break, with the chance to mix breathtaking culture and history with lazy days relaxing on quiet, uncrowded beaches.

Parents can learn more about Sicily's fascinating wealth of history with trips to the culture-packed area nearby or take the opportunity to unwind at Donnafugata Resort with a round of golf on one of its two championship courses or visit to the venue's award-winning spa for an invigorating treatment.

Younger members of the family will be kept busy at the Resort's exclusive Vik's Club, which offers children a full summer activity programme including sports, workshops, team games and tournaments, while families can spend some valuable time with each other by exploring the local area.

Back on the Resort, families can enjoy having a golf lesson, take a bike ride together, or simply relax by Donnafugata's outdoor infinity pool or at the venue's secluded, private beach set just a few minutes' drive away beside the Randello Nature Reserve, and easily accessed with a free daily shuttle bus service.

Situated in the heart of the province of Ragusa, Donnafugata Resort's south-east location allows easy access to six fantastic historical cities to explore nearby including Val di Noto, the heart of Sicilian baroque; Ragusa Ibla, Modica, Siracuse, Noto and Scicli. All are deemed fitting of UNESCO World Heritage status.

And getting to Donnafugata Resort couldn't be easier, with direct flights operating from London Stansted into Comiso International airport, just 15 minutes away, while it is also easily accessible from Catania airport from London Gatwick and Manchester.

The deluxe Resort is home to a luxury 900m2 Spa with indoor pool, hydro-massage, sauna, steam bath and gym areas, with a host of seasonally-selected treatments available, while the award-winning venue's location offers guests the ideal opportunity to indulge in the unique gastronomic delights of the region.

Guests can take a short trip to one of a plethora of impressive vineyards nearby or choose to sample the Resort's own inimitable style of cuisine in one of its three restaurants, all featuring a mouth-watering broad selection of '0km food' locally-sourced food.

Featuring 202 rooms, Donnafugata Golf Resort & SPA also boasts two 18-hole championship golf courses, a Darren Clarke Centre of Excellence, – the only one of its kind in continental Europe featuring the 2016 European Ryder Cup captain – which offers a variety of golf tuition packages for golfers of all abilities aged six and above, and the free use of bikes around the Resort.
