Anywhere Campers PozzalloPozzalloView map
Hiring a motorhome in Pozzallo starts your trip at the very south of Sicily, on a sandy coast facing Malta, which catamarans reach from the port. Within half an hour's drive you are in Modica and its baroque churches, then Ragusa Ibla, Scicli and Noto, towns of the Val di Noto listed as World Heritage. 1 partner company, Anywhere Campers, hands over campervans, camper vans and family motorhomes here.
The town itself comes down to a long seafront promenade, a marina and the Cabrera tower, a 15th-century fortress that once guarded the grain-loading port of the County of Modica.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Pozzallo?
Best time
April to June
April to June
highs 19 to 28 °C, lows 12 to 20 °C
The best time for the baroque towns: in April and May the plateaus of the Hyblaean Mountains are green and sightseeing is free of excessive heat. June adds swimming, with the sea at 24 °C and hardly any rain left. The Easter processions in Modica and Scicli also draw large crowds.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 31 °C, lows 22 to 23 °C
High summer: 31 °C in the afternoon, a sea at 27 or 28 °C and practically no rain. Italian holidaymakers then fill Marina di Ragusa, Sampieri and the beaches of Pozzallo, and coastal campsites are fully booked around 15 August. Visit the baroque centres in the evening, when the stone cools down and the streets come alive.
Best time
September and October
September to October
highs 24 to 28 °C, lows 17 to 21 °C
September is probably the finest month for the trip: the sea stays at 27 °C, the beaches empty and the grape harvest begins around Vittoria, home of Cerasuolo wine. October remains mild but becomes the wettest month of the year, with sometimes violent storms: keep your plans flexible.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 15 to 20 °C, lows 9 to 14 °C
Winter stays mild on the coast, with highs of 15 to 20 °C and sunshine on most days; November, still gentle, even counts among the pleasant months. Cool nights call for a heated vehicle, and Modica and Ragusa can then be visited without the crowds of the warmer months.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Narrow roads in the Hyblaean Mountains
Between Modica, Ragusa and Chiaramonte Gulfi, provincial roads wind between dry-stone walls, with no verge and tight bends at the bottom of steep-sided valleys. Tractors are common. With a large motorhome, stick to the main roads, even when the satnav suggests a shorter route.
Ragusa and Modica: where to leave the vehicle
Ragusa is split between the modern upper town and Ibla, the baroque quarter below, largely closed to traffic. Park in the upper town and walk down the steps of Santa Maria delle Scale, or take a city bus. In Modica, the car parks on the valley floor serve Corso Umberto, from where stairways climb up to San Giorgio.
Campsites on the coast, few aires inland
Campsites are concentrated along the coast, from Marina di Ragusa to Portopalo di Capo Passero, via Sampieri and the area around Pozzallo. Inland, around Modica or Palazzolo Acreide, motorhome aires are scarcer, and some agriturismi welcome vehicles. Many sites close in the low season: check before setting off.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Pozzallo
Where can I pick up a motorhome in Pozzallo?
Anywhere Campers, the only partner company in town, hands over its vehicles at its Pozzallo depot. The exact address and key handover time are given in your booking confirmation. If you arrive from Malta by catamaran or by train from Syracuse, send your timetable to the rental company so the meeting can be arranged without waiting.
How much does motorhome hire in Pozzallo cost?
The rate depends mainly on the season, the length of hire and the type of vehicle, from the two-seat van to the six-berth family motorhome. The simplest way is to run a search with your dates: you get the real prices, mandatory fees included, bookable straight away. Add campsite nights and a possible crossing to Malta to your budget.
Can I take the motorhome to Malta?
The catamaran from Pozzallo to Valletta carries vehicles, and the crossing takes about two hours. Leaving Sicily with a rented motorhome, however, requires the rental company's consent and insurance valid in Malta: check this before booking. Many travellers leave the vehicle in Pozzallo and travel as foot passengers. In Malta, people drive on the left.
Can I return the vehicle in another city?
Catania, Caltanissetta, Milazzo and Palermo are other departure cities of our partners in Sicily: you can therefore cross the island without returning to Pozzallo, ending at the foot of Etna or on the north coast. Enter the return city when you search; any one-way fees are then included in the price shown.
Which vehicle should I choose for the Val di Noto?
The two-seat Van for 2 is the most at ease on narrow roads and in the car parks of the baroque towns; the four-berth Carado T-447 suits two or three travellers well. Families will choose the five-berth Adria Matrix or Sunlight T 68, or the Sunlight A70, which sleeps six. Several models come with a manual or automatic gearbox.

The person answered my questions before I confirmed the booking. The van matched my order well with extras. During my trip, I had a little issue that had nothing to do with Cooldrive. I appreciated that the person took the time to call me back. No bad surprises, only good ones. Highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Pozzallo
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Sicily?
Standard rental campervans and motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes can be driven with a category B licence. For a licence issued outside the European Union, Italy generally requires an international driving permit or an official translation as well. The minimum age and years of driving required depend on the rental company and are stated in the offer's conditions.
Can I sleep by the sea near Pozzallo?
Parking a motorhome on a public road is in principle allowed in Italy, as long as nothing is set up around it: no levelling blocks, awning or table. But many seaside municipalities ban overnight stays on the seafront in summer. Follow the signs and avoid protected dunes, such as those at the mouth of the Irminio, where parking is regulated.
How do I get to Pozzallo from the airport?
Comiso airport, about 50 km away by road, is the closest, but its flight offer is limited and irregular. Most travellers land at Catania-Fontanarossa, nearly an hour and a half's drive away: coaches serve the province of Ragusa, and a regional train links Syracuse to Pozzallo, slowly. Let the rental company know your arrival time.
How many days should I plan for south-east Sicily?
A week lets you link the three loops suggested here: the Hyblaean Mountains, the coast from Scicli to Punta Secca and the tip of Capo Passero with Noto. Distances are short, but each baroque town deserves half a day on foot. With ten days or more, add Syracuse and Etna, or finish with a one-way trip to Catania.
When should I book a motorhome in Pozzallo?
With only one rental company in town, the choice of vehicles is narrower than in large cities: for July, August and spring bank holidays, book several months ahead, especially for an automatic gearbox or a six-berth model. Out of season, a few weeks are often enough, but book early if you are combining the hire with a ferry to Malta.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Pozzallo
Of our Sicilian departure points, Pozzallo is the closest to the baroque towns of the south-east: without crossing a large city, you are within minutes on the roads to Modica, Scicli and Ragusa, where facades rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake answer one another from hill to hill. The coast, meanwhile, lines up fine sandy beaches, fishing ports and settings from the Montalbano series, and the tip of Capo Passero is less than an hour away.
Anywhere Campers offers everything from the two-seat van to the six-berth motorhome, with a manual or automatic gearbox. The climate suits travel from March to September and again in November, and Catania, Caltanissetta or Palermo, other departure cities of our partners, open the way to a one-way trip towards Etna or the west of the island. Quiet outside summer, the town also offers a start free of traffic jams, far from the congestion of Sicily's large cities.
