Considering that the costs to arrive and to move in Sicily do not vary depending on the accommodation type (usually flight + car hire), we decided to focus on the costs of food and accommodation, so for the stay in the hotels, we considered breakfast included, a light meal for lunch and dinner in a pizzeria or trattoria, while for stays in the villa we considered breakfast, lunch and dinner as self-catering, then assuming the supply in the supermarket, and including a couple of breakfasts with Sicilian granita and brioches, a couple of lunches at the beach and a couple of dinners outside.

The analysis refers to the "Sicily" market as a whole, analysing the data of the "room and breakfast" segment of hotels with a swimming pool, depending on the number of people, on the average duration of a week, assuming that for shorter stays the two types are not comparable, as the villas are not available for less than a week stay.

For the analysis of hotel prices we have carried out research on TRIVAGO and Booking.com.

For the analysis of villa prices we have referred to the weighted averages based on the maximum capacity of the various properties currently part of the property portfolio of IsulaSicilia.com.
