We are planning to do the RS tour of Sicily in either September or October? For those who have recently taken this tour- is there air conditioning in the hotels that RS uses for this tour?
We have been in southern Europe for other trips when it has been unseasonable hot and there has been NO air conditioning and it was very uncomfortable to sleep.

To be on the safe side, travel in February. That's when we've gone to Ibiza and it didn't matter than there was no air conditioning.

I don’t know about the hotels in RS’ tour, however if you travel in October it is unlikely you will need A/C. Temperatures at night in October in Sicily tend to be in the low to mid 60s F and maybe mid 70s F during the day.
In October, all you’d need to do is open the window and you’ll be fine.
September, especially the first half, may be hot.

We just finished this tour last week and it was amazing!!!! All but one of our hotels had A/C because it has already been turned off for the year. Some of those rooms had fans, but at that particular hotel some people were uncomfortable with the heat in the rooms, as it was warmer than it was outside. They couldn't really open the windows though because of mosquitoes.
All of this said, we HIGHLY recommend this tour in October. the weather was perfect and crowds were very low or manageable. Everyone on our tour commented about how perfect the timing and weather were.
