Sicily exemplifies the Mediterranean landscape where crystal clear water laps white beaches while the mountains tickle the blue sky. On the island, ancient myths meet lively settings to take visitors on a journey through history and beauty.
Baroque towns with ornate squares and cobbled streets tell stories of a splendour-rich past while Mount Etna looms in the distance, painting the sky in gorgeous colours at sunrise and sunset.
The flavours on display at both markets and on the table are a prelude to festive meals where each dish is a tribute to Sicilian tradition and the art of hospitality.
In this infinitely spectacular setting, Sicily reveals itself as an invitation to adventure, where the sea and the land come together in an eternal embrace. This journey, among citrus aromas, breathtaking panoramic views, and warm Sicilian hospitality, will fill your heart with emotions that you’ll hold on to forever.

Distance 7 km – A town that lies between the Salso River and the slopes of the mountain it’s named for, Licata offers plenty on the culturale front.

Also worth visiting are the early 20th-century Art Nouveau bourgeois villas and the archaeological museum, which contains Greek and mediaeval artefacts
Distance 63 km – Countless artefacts and artistic documents are a testament to the city’s ancient origins – it’s one of several Greek-Sicule cities on the island. Caltagirone also bears evidence of its other rulers: Roman, Byzantine, and Saracen. The clay-rich territory is world-renowned for artisanal ceramic production and has maintained all the charm of ancient traditions from the Muslim and Norman conquests.
Distance 78 km – A visit to Ragusa reveals interesting surprises; the city is set on a limestone rock formation between the San Leonardo and Santa Domenica quarries and divided into two distinct sections: Ragusa Inferiore (ancient Ibla) and Ragusa Superiore. The town is popular among travellers seeking ancient rural traditions, Greek archaeology, and striking Baroque and 19th-century architecture.
Agrigento’s world-famous Valley of the Temples dates to the 5th century BC—a testament to the city’s ancient prosperity. Invaders destroyed them over the centuries, but there’s plenty to admire today. The Temple of Concord is the only one that has remained intact.
Piazza Armerina rises inland from the Gulf of Gela, perched at nearly 700 metres in central Sicily’s Erei Mountains. The city lies within a dense eucalyptus forest and is home to a fourth-century Roman Villa. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the villa covers 3,500 square metres and is famous for its perfectly intact floor mosaics.
Rich in chapiters, Baroque friezes, churches, and noble palaces, Noto has earned the title of UNESCO Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
