Where can you find Alan and Amanda's renovated house?
Amanda and Alan's Italian Job is filmed in the town and commune of Salemi in southwestern Sicily, Italy.
Can you fly there from Bristol Airport?
While you can't fly directly to Salemi, you can fly direct to Catania from Bristol Airport with easyJet, up to twice a week between March and October. Catania is located on Sicily's east coast, at the base of the active volcano Mount Etna, so there's still plenty to see and do here. It is a four-hour drive to Salemi.
In 2021, Jet2 announced Sicily as a new destination from Bristol Airport for summer 2022, operating weekly Tuesday services from May to October. Jet2holidays launched package holidays to Sicily with beach resorts such as Taormina, Taormina Mare, Giardini Naxos, Syracuse, Cefalu and Campofelice Di Roccella for sale, as well as packages to the historic capital city of Catania through Jet2CityBreaks.
What else is the area famous for?
Salemi, described as being "perched on a hill in the Belice Valley amidst the changing green of vineyards and olive groves" by Visit Sicily, sits around the Norman-Swabian Castle and has a village with a 'medieval feel'. It celebrates a number of religious festivals and has an array of quirky museums, including the Museo della Mafia (Mafia Museum), Museum of Breads and Civic Museum.
Other must-see locations in Salemi include the Church and Jesuit College, Cathedral of San Miceli and the archaeological sites of Monte Polizzo and Mokarta.
