"Again, I must tell you how much I appreciated this beautifully organized and beautifully "guided" trip.
I appreciated Jean-Paul's scholarship and his use of the subjunctive, so rare these days.

Your stay will be filled with unique moments, including baroque music concerts and visits to iconic sites such as Piazza Armerina. Ragusa and Modica, boasting 18 UNESCO monuments, complete this baroque journey. As an ancestral wine producer, Sicily also offers wine tastings in idyllic settings. We organize guided tours and free time for a balanced trip, celebrating Sicily’s rich gastronomy in impeccable hospitality, ensuring a memorable experience in the "Land of the Sun."
