HISTORY, SEA & MORE.....


A place that combines history and sea. That you can relax in an unexplored beach after a day visiting monuments, class of culinary or wine tasting. Paradisiac landscapes, unspoilt dunes and a fantastic sea, Sicilia is a place to visit .

This island gathers so much history beyond the gorgeous nature. Among some beautiful and fantastic places, I am a fan of small villages. 

Listed by UNESCO as World Heritage, the archeological area of Agrigento lies on a vast area over the sea. The location gives an unequaled view. My suggestion:  take a guide on the spot and let you go into the history of this place.wha.unesco.org/en/list/831


 Nice beaches with intact dunes are not far away: Scala dei Turchi, Porto Palo or Eracle Minoa.



Further a hidden beach called Cala Del Re attracts  attention by being in a privilege place. A small restaurant almost over the sea, it is a perfect scenario to taste a plate of 'pesce crudo'. A siesta is almost mandatory in this beach. Don't miss it!!! www.caladelre.it



Where to stay? Located in Palma de Montechiaro, Mandranova is a charming 'Azienda Agricola' with a splendid swimming pool around the olive trees. The hospitality of Silvia and Giuseppe makes you feel at home. The place is unique and as the doors of their domain open you can feel how they take care of any single detail : the swimming pool, cooking class, their olive oil, the breakfast with local products... On the evenings the aperitif precedes the delicious dinner surprised by the Chef, the possibility to discuss with the owners and other guests makes the evenings a happening.
