Live like a Sicilian

You won’t come to Sicily just to see it. You’ll come to become part of it

From $4,850 per person

10 days, fully tailored to your group

A real home, not a hotel

You stay in our own private villa, 20 minutes from Palermo airport — we pick you up when you land.

Small groups, maximum 14 guests

Within days, a group of strangers becomes a circle of friends over an evening glass of wine.

Not a tour company

No buses, no microphones. We open the door to the life we’ve built here.

Built around you

No fixed itinerary: your days are shaped around what makes your eyes light up.

The Itinerary

We build your Sicilian Experience around you

We’ll suggest the places we love most – Palermo, Trapani, Erice, Castellammare del Golfo and more – but we adapt to you

Your Roots

If Sicily is in your blood, we'll help you come home

A last name, a village, an old photograph — that’s enough. We trace your family before you arrive and build part of your journey around the search. If you want to go deeper, discover our VIP Ancestral Adventure.

Frequently asked questions

I won’t know anyone in my group. What’s it like in the villa?

We keep groups small — maximum 14 guests — so it feels like sharing a home with friends, not a hotel full of strangers. We’ll with you every step of the way.
