A day of special encounters for our guests yesterday.

Father and son Salvatore and Giovanni are the last Sicilian ship makers.
Operating in a small fishing village in Sicily since 1808 their family has built ships for four generations by hand and with simple tools, using the ancient techniques handed down from father to son.

Giuseppe’s workshop is located in the oldest Medieval house of a town at the slopes of Etna. Giuseppe is a luthier, artisan and musician and here he’s unveiling the secrets and sounds of his handcrafted instruments to our guests.

This year the Cathedral of Monreale is getting more beautiful. Passionate men and women are restoring it to its former splendor and on these very days they are putting up scaffolding to restore the mosaics of the Christ Pantocrater.
More than 100 meters long and 40 meters wide, boasting almost 6,500m2 of swirling golden mosaics the Cathedral of Monreale is a site that alone is worth a visit to Palermo even with the Christ behind scaffolding for a few months.

Indeed, we seem to love it more, and we are happy to tell you about this time in its nearly thousand-year and fascinating history as well.

Speaking of sunsets… next summer admire the sunset from the roof of Sicily.

Embark on the most exciting adventure you can have on Mt Etna, hike on lunar landscapes and reach the summit craters.

Sometimes the time of the year is key to make your trip really local. It’s not a matter of where to avoid tourist crowds but of when.

Don’t fill your days with activities, the joy of simply wandering the city and hop from one café to another should be high priority.
Go out and get lost in Ortigia. Live the daily life, check out the neighborhood shops of old and new artisans, ceramists and contemporary goldsmith.

Visit the Archaeological Park without crowds and spend time in Ortigia food market chatting with our chef and his trusted fishmonger about the best way to cook that fish.

This is a fascinating journey on the small local train that goes up the flanks of the volcano connecting the villages around Mount Etna in a circular enchanting journey.

Go on board of the local train which passes through vineyards, olive tree groves, winding little black lava-stone roads, orange and chestnut groves.
Get off in a couple of stations to visit authentic villages and local producers, taste local specialties, and step into a boutique winery that has a private on-demand station within its property for wine tasting and lunch.

December 13th is Santa Lucia and in Palermo is Arancina and Cuccia Day! And we celebrate at Palazzo Arone di Valentino.

It was December 13th 1646 when after a long famine a ship loaded with grain arrived at the port of Palermo. The hunger was too great, however, to set out to make flour, so the wheat was boiled seasoned with oil and eaten, and the cuccia was born!
Since then in Palermo we do not eat anything made with flour… but we have the arancine and cuccia!

Luca and Alessandro were our guests in Palermo last week and couldn't have described our unique city any better.😍

- What we have discovered about Palermo is that it is an amazing city packed full of contrasts.
We walked around the streets of the historic centre captivated by the charm of its old buildings and ended up in the midst of a noisy historic market. We ate its inimitable traditional street food like ' pane ca meusa' as we walked around the marvellously dilapidated narrow streets flanked by magnificent monuments.
Palermo is a hotchpotch of strong and discordant contrasts where centuries of history overlap without leaving you room to breathe. -
