Accommodation

All your hotels are special in their own contrasting ways. In Scopello you stay at the Hotel Baglio di Scopello, complete with a shimmering outdoor pool. On Marettimo, your host, Fausto, meets you at the jetty with a luggage trolley (there are no roads) and takes you to his charming seafront residence (with pool and jacuzzi) just by the harbour. In San Vito Lo Capo you stay at Daniela's cosy five bedroom B&B hotel and enjoy great sea views from the luxuriant Mediterranean garden.



All prices are based on 2 persons sharing, so if there is an odd number of people travelling in your party or you are travelling alone, there will be a compulsory supplement for a single room for the tour duration. For a solo traveller there is an additional charge to cover transfer costs. Please call for further details.

Food

Daily breakfast and 2 evening meals included.
Sicily's typically southern Italian cuisine is interspersed with many more
exotic dishes reflecting the island's jumbled cultural past. Italian dishes
like pasta alla norma (made with tomatoes, aubergine and grated ricotta) are
often found on menus along with couscous (a north African speciality), or
even pasta con le sarde (a pasta dish dating back to Phoenician times made
from sardines, raisins, pine nuts, fennel, saffron, parsley and capers).
The Arabs introduced citrus groves to the island and a popular drink today is
granita made with crushed ice and lemon. This was traditionally drunk with
sweet bread dipped in it as a lunchtime snack by Sicilian peasants.
Fish is of course also abundant. Local specialities include pesce spada alla
ghiotta (swordfish cooked with tomatoes, capers, onion, celery and potatoes)
or tonno fresco alla brace (grilled fresh tuna).
Sicily is famed for its desserts. Why not try cannolo, a crunchy pastry tube
filled with ricotta cheese and studded with candied fruits, pistachio and
chocolate? Or cassata, the Arab influenced cake made with ricotta cheese,
candied fruit and chocolate pieces.
Sicily is not traditionally famous for its wines, so it is surprising to
learn that the island boasts one of the largest wine producing areas in the
whole of Italy. Look out for the Etna DOC label and Corvo di Salaparuta. One
of Sicily's most popular wines is Alcamo Bianco - a soft white which goes
well with fish dishes.
