Sicily has long been known as a popular destination for those seeking a real taste of ‘La Dolce Vita’. An island exuding culture and history bolstered by delicious cuisine and excellent wines, it’s no wonder it attracts so many discerning travellers. However, if you want to dig a little deeper and experience another level of genuine hospitality, then head to the South of the island where life moves at a much gentler pace, thoroughly embracing the philosophy of ‘Il Dolce far Niente’.
Here you will find endless hillsides draped in ancient vines and olive trees, crystal clear Mediterranean seas, historic hilltop towns and infinite unspoilt sandy beaches. Better still, discover the wild spirit of the Torre Salsa Nature Reserve where indigenous flora, fauna and sea-life thrive in harmony protected from the outside world.
