Autumn half-term is always difficult to find short-haul guaranteed warm weather and sunshine. The end of October hails the beginning of winter in Europe (the word 'plummet' features regularly when searching for an ideal destination) and booking a break around the Mediterranean is pot luck - could be great or could be grey!
Last year, we settled on Cefalu in Sicily and we had 'acceptable' weather, much better than the UK. I wouldn't call it hot but it was warm and sunny most of the week. We stayed in a lovely hotel on the beach at the edge of the town: Cefalu Sea Palace.
We enjoyed walking through the narrow streets of the town and trying the restaurants. We also hired a car and toured part of the island.
If you don't have to book your Sicily break for half-term, take advantage of better weather earlier in October. Cefalu is less 'touristy' than Catania/Taormina coast but it's only a couple of hours' drive so you can easily visit both. Flights are available to Palermo or Catania.
