BOUTIQUE SMALL GROUP CULINARY TOUR

Sicily is a land of contrasts, where diverse cultures and shifting landscapes come together. Thanks to its prime location in the heart of the Mediterranean, the island enjoys abundant sunshine year-round. Its rich and ancient heritage is reflected in the local cuisine, which is a blend of many influences.

Our base is in the southeast of the island, surrounded by famous historical landmarks such as the Greek Theatre of Siracusa, the Baroque splendor of Noto, and the picturesque town of Modica—all of which you’ll explore during your cooking holiday.

The villas for our Sicilian cookery holidays are built in traditional Sicilian style and were chosen for their stunning locations. They offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes and feature beautiful outdoor spaces, including swimming pools set among almond and olive trees. After a swim, relax on the terrace and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. Sicily is the perfect destination for a Mediterranean escape, and our villa provides the ideal setting for relaxation and indulgence.
