We're off to Sicily with its sun-drenched coastlines, vibrant markets and a rich blend of Greek, Roman and Arab influences. You can do everything from exploring the lively streets of Palermo to enjoying cooking classes and relaxing massages in our rural villa. Beach days and boat trips will occupy you on the other days where you can take in the sparkling turquoise shores, Sicily offers a perfect balance of adventure, culture and Mediterranean beauty,

Enjoy 7 nights in a beautiful rural villa with infinity pool, geared for relaxation coupled with a wonderful excursion package. The villa is surrounded by 7 hectares of gorgeously landscaped grounds overlooking the pristine Parco dei Nebrodi on one side and the Tyrrhenian Sea on the other.

We'll visit local villages, vineyards, beaches and of course, no trip complete without a day out on the water. Well take a private boat to explore the Aeolian Islands., taking in turquoise waters and stunning lush scenery.

Please note that bedroom allocation will be random. All have own double bedroom with ensuite, but some have been recently remodelled and vary in size.

Fly into Palermo Airport (one group airport transfer provided at 4pm subject to discussion within the group - this maybe earlier or later, depending on arrival times).

Arrive at your beautiful villa and settle in with a welcome drink and aperativo. After a long day travelling, we are sure you will be ready for a cosy drink and early night,

Wake up and enjoy brunch at the villa. Take a gentle walk/hike, or a dip in the pool before we head off to tour the vineyard within the grounds.

After working up an appetite, we head back to the villa for a delicious meal, typically 4 courses (we are in Italy after all).

After an early breakfast, we are heading out to explore the beautiful Aeolian Islands; a shimmering archipelago of volcanic beauty and crystal clear waters. We'll discover hidden coves, pass dramatic cliffs and pass pastel-hued villages. We'll stop at one of the towns along the coast to enjoy some free-time to wander and enjoy some lunch.

The afternoon will be spent taking in more of the breathtaking views before heading back to land. We'll stop in Capo d'Orlando where we have some free time to explore and enjoy dinner if you wish before heading back to the villa.

After a full day out on the water yesterday,, we're taking it a little easier today. Of course, you are free to take one of the many optional excursions available.

We'll enjoy brunch in the villa, then in the afternoon, we'll have a wonderful Sicilian cooking lesson, where we learn about traditional local recipes. Our lesson takes place right in our own villa, and we can then enjoy the sumptuous food for dinner.

After a light breakfast, you can choose whether you want to relax or take a hike around the local area before heading back to enjoy a wonderful lunch at the villa.

In the afternoon, we'll be heading out to enjoy free time at one of the local villages where we'll stay into the evening so that we can enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants,

After a light breakfast, we're heading off to the popular beach resort of Cefalù, a
coastal city in northern Sicily.. It’s known for its Norman cathedral, a 12th-century fortress-like structure with elaborate Byzantine mosaics and soaring twin towers. Nearby, the Mandralisca Museum is home to archaeological exhibits and a picture gallery with a portrait by Antonello da Messina. So, beach or explore, the choice is yours!

Well stay all day, before heading back to the villa for one of their wonderful dinners!

After breakfast/brunch, enjoy a day of leisure enjoying one of the many optional activities.

If you'd rather relax at the villa, you can indulge in wonderful massage to destress and rejuvenate before your trip comes to an end.

We'll enjoy a wonderful dinner on our last evening and look back over the wonderful week we've spent in Sicily!

It’s departure day. We’ll be sad to see you go, but hopefully we'll see you again in some other part of the globe!
