In Sicily there are different type of accommodations: From the little farm houses to the luxurious hotels.
Whe you choose one of them you have to look for the quality of the structure: See the reviews site like Tripadvisor, see forums like Frommers or Fodors, see the picture of the lodging services and if they are provided in the same website if the structure.
While choosing consider that price can be very high during some seasons (Summer from july to August) and the location you choose (i.e. Taormina and the other big cities are more expensive than the little villages near the province).
There is another problem: Most of the structures are abusive and don't have a regular license. To verify them see in the website of the local tourist boards and type in the search box the name of the structure and verify if it's regular.
Prices can go from 25%u20AC a day (low season) to 70%u20AC a day (high season) for a B&B in the main touristic attractions.
