The Sicily Tour



About Us

Italy With Pleasure emerged from a marriage of ideas (the traditional marriage came later). To explain, we need to wind the clock back to the time when the founders of the company, Antonella and Malcolm, were embarking on what became Italy With Pleasure.

Malcolm was working as a winemaker in Puglia, southern Italy. Discovering new flavours, but more significantly the depth of history and culture all around. Nearby was Antonella, studying for a masters in literature. Together we embarked on an exploration of firstly Puglia, where we were living, and later further afield around the many and varied regions of Italy. Everywhere we went we would seek out the local cuisine, traditions tied to the land, places off the beaten track. We’d always try to find the essence of what made each place unique: maybe it was a local artisan, maybe it was part of an ancient Roman road, it could be the particular way they make their pasta shapes in their village.

And what were our own travels in Italy are now the tours that we offer to you - Italy With Pleasure was founded specifically for this purpose. We collaborate with a group of like-minded individuals who are our Tour Leaders - Andy and Anita, Richie and Roberta - who will lead your group for the week and provide insights into this land. Our guiding philosophy in designing the tour itineraries is to do so with the care we would in planning a personal trip with a close friend. We've maintained the spirit of those early days, almost 20 years ago now, back when we were driving around Italy with hands stained from the intense primitivo wine being made back in the winery.

We invite you to come and uncover some of these special places for yourselves.

With pleasure, of course.

The Early Days

The Sicily Tour



OUR TOUR LEADERS Antonella: I am from Puglia and I have spent the last 15 years in the travel industry. I am a food lover and I like sharing with my guests my first hand knowledge of the local culture, people, food, habits and traditions. My family has passed on to me the Puglia way of living and I proudly preserve these precious values – making our wine, extra virgin olive oil and growing much of our food.

Andy: I am originally from the UK but bought my house here in 2006. I am immersed in Italian culture and life I have a BA in Italian and an MA in Art History. My passions are Renaissance and Baroque art and architecture and Italian wine and food. My particular interests are Caravaggio and Bernini, Salice Salentino and swordfish. Anita: Raised in Bari, Puglia, I have a passion for sharing the best of this region with others. From my deep cultural knowledge and understanding of what is the essence of Puglia, I can provide to you an insight into both the land and the people that keep alive the traditions. Richie: I am originally from the US but have lived in Italy for the last ten years. I have a degree in Art History and am a food & wine enthusiast who enjoys transmitting my love for the local culture to curious visitors. It's my mission to give something special to guests through a blend of learning, fun, spontaneity, and shared quality memories. Roberta: From Sicily, in the very south of Italy, I then moved to Rome. To me, showing the beauties of this country to people from all over the world not only is a job, but also the best way I have to give something back to my country. I like to transmit the quintessence of Italian culture, because you can't understand Italy without passing through real people's way of living. Malcolm: I first came to Italy about 20 years ago while working as a winemaker. With a passion for the gastronomy and the history of Italy, leading tours around regional areas allows me to share the best of Italy. Having lived in Sicily, Puglia, Rome and Milan, I have a good understanding of Italy and Italian culture from the north to the south.

….crafting wonderful tours of Italy


Sicily Tour - Itinerary

Day 1: Palermo and Monreale Welcome to Palermo, with its many layers of civilizations and history. The city today is a vibrant, living testimony to this cultural heritage. Our hotel is located alongside the historic centre of town, and the vibrancy of this diverse city is all around you. Starting the tour, we first look at a series of sights that provide an insight into both Palermo and Sicily – the Quattro Canti, the fountain Fontana Pretoria, and the exteriors of the Arab-Norman churches of San Cataldo and Martorana. At this point we team up for the afternoon with a specialist expert who has a depth of knowledge about all things Sicily and Palermo. Together we travel a short distance to Monreale, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Monreale is on the outskirts of Palermo, a 30 minute drive. We start by visiting the cathedral at Monreale, with incredible golden mosaics. It is said to be one of the finest Norman buildings in the world. We go on to visit the cloisters at Monreale, a particularly evocative setting lined with marble columns. You’ll be amazed at the detailed carved marble and inlaid stone. On returning to central Palermo we visit the Church of Santa Caterina. This is a veritable jewel-box of ornate decoration – but you’d never know from the plain façade. Later we view the largest opera house in Italy, the Teatro Massimo (external only). In the evening we dine together, sharing a meal of Sicilian dishes where we start to discover the unique flavours on offer here: Mediterranean vegetables that combine with Arabic influences to create this unique cuisine, seafood fresh from the Tyrrhenian Sea, and distinctive local wines from grape varieties grown only in Sicily. Meals included: Dinner (3 courses including wine) Accommodation: Quintocanto Hotel (4 star), Palermo

Day 2: Erice and Segesta For those that wish, we go together to walk through the Ballaro markets. These historic markets have formed a part of the fabric of this city for over a thousand years, and still do. Here we experience a fascinating array of sights and sounds – fresh produce from the fertile fields of Sicily, such as the ubiquitous vibrantly coloured aubergines, as well as some cuts of meat that could be described as ‘challenging’. We depart for Erice, a charming town on a hilltop overlooking the western coast of Sicily. Erice is a medieval town, with beautiful cobbled lanes. There is a long history here, starting with a population that pre-dated the Greeks. We visit the site of the Temple of Venus, now a Norman castle. The views from this point are stunning, looking out over the Egadi Islands where the traditional tuna fishing grounds are. Sicily is renowned for wonderful sweet pastries, and one of the best pasticcerias in Sicily is here in Erice. At the pasticceria we see the diversity and creativity of their products. We have lunch in Erice, after which we continue on Segesta, where we have our first glimpse of the monuments that remain from when Sicily was part of Magna Grecia (the greater Greek empire). Segesta boasts one of the most intact Greek Doric temples anywhere, and an excellent Greek theatre, both from the 5th century B.C. In fact some performances continue to be held in this theatre during the summer. We return to Palermo in the early evening. Meals included: Breakfast and Lunch (3 courses including wine) Accommodation: Quintocanto Hotel (4 star), Palermo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Day 3: Agrigento Today we depart from Palermo and travel first to Agrigento, with its famous ‘Valley of the Temples’. This UNESCO World Heritage site features the beautiful Temple of Concordia is one of the most photogenic spots in Sicily. We are shown around by an expert guide, who

explains to us the phases of civilisation here, as well as the current discoveries that are being made. Strolling through the archaeological area gives a sense of the gravitas of history, as well as a pleasant experience of continued traditions, surrounded by almond groves and olive trees. For lunch we stop in at a farm in the countryside, where we get an opportunity to taste of good, wholesome rural Sicilian produce. Much of our lunch is grown right here on the farm. We enjoy a leisurely lunch in the courtyard of the farmhouse. After lunch we continue on to our hotel in the town of Ragusa, arriving in the early evening. Meals included: Breakfast and Lunch (3 courses including wine) Accommodation: Ragusa – either the San Giorgio Palace Hotel or the Hotel Antico Convento (both 4 star hotels)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Day 4: Ragusa and Modica On waking in Ragusa, you can’t help but be charmed by the elegant palazzos and the picturesque winding streets. Mid morning we meet for a walk together through the town centre, to look at specific elements of the baroque architecture that are a feature of Ragusa. Ragusa is one of the best examples of the famous Sicilian baroque style, with ornate edifices and intricate detailing. Some of Sicily’s architectural gems are scattered through Ragusa. The buildings we see in this style were built from 1693 onwards, and feature elegant balconies and balustrades. We depart from our hotel for a short drive to visit a cheese-maker. There are a number of renowned cheeses from this area, and we are at the source - we taste ricotta cheese as it is being made. We then have a lunch that features a range of specialities from the Ragusa and Modica area, accompanied by the superb wine from here in south eastern Sicily called Cerasuolo di Vittoria. After lunch we move on to the town of Modica. While Modica is another of Sicily’s famed baroque towns, here we also have an ulterior motive, and that is chocolate.

Modica is an important centre for chocolate making, and has its own distinctive style known as ‘cioccolato modicano’. This is made using a different production method to regular chocolate. We have a tasting where you can appreciate the unique qualities of this chocolate. We also take the chance in Modica to visit a very interesting church, the Chiesa San Nicolò Inferiore, which was re-discovered by chance in 1987. This fascinating church is carved into the rock and features Byzantine-style frescoes. En route back to Ragusa we stop in at the high town, Modica Alta, where we visit the famed church of San Giorgio – the epitomy of Sicilian baroque. We return to Ragusa in the late afternoon. Meals included: Breakfast and Lunch (3 courses including wine) Accommodation: Ragusa – either the San Giorgio Palace Hotel or the Hotel Antico Convento (both 4 star hotels)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Day 5: Siracusa Today we visit Siracusa, a treasure trove of ancient palazzi, a fascinating old centre, and many harbourside restaurants where good living comes first. The old town of Siracusa is the island of Ortigia, the heart of Siracusa, with the remains of the ancient Greek city. We first walk through the Ortigia markets. Here the particular speciality is seafood, with the fishing fleet heading out from the adjacent port and bringing the fresh catch here each morning – the huge swordfish are an impressive sight. We visit the Duomo (the main church), elegant and domineering in the beautiful central piazza. This church has an intriguing history, going right back to its origin as the Greek Temple of Athena. We still see the ancient Greek columns forming part of the structure of the current church. We also see a fine Caravaggio painting, the ‘Burial of Santa Lucia’. This was painted in 1609 by Caravaggio when he spent time here in Siracusa, and it depicts the patron saint of the town. Taking advantage of our coastal location, lunch is in a

restaurant that specialises in the seafood of the area. We dine on the waterfront overlooking the bay. We leave Siracusa in the late afternoon to continue on to Taormina. Meals included: Breakfast and Lunch (3 courses including wine) Accommodation: Grand Hotel Miramare (4 star), Taormina Day 6: Taormina and Etna We first visit the ancient theatre in Taormina, built first by the Greeks, and enlarged by the Romans. This theatre continues to be a premier location for music and drama performances to this day. The rest of the morning and lunchtime is free time in Taormina. Visiting Taormina is like visiting an elegant film set, such is the combination of spectacular views (over the sea and Mt Etna), beautiful old buildings, plus a touch of the ancient (both Greek and Roman). We take full advantage of all three aspects (the view, the town, the ancient ruins) as we enjoy our time here. Located high on a hill, there is time available to take the cable car from Taormina down to the beach below the town, and the island Isola Bella. Around town, as well as the archaeological sites, there are numerous ceramics shops and cafes on the piazza. In the afternoon we travel to the slopes of Mt Etna. We view the foothills of this active volcano before moving on to our cooking class, where you take an active part in preparing a complete four course meal. The dishes are typically Sicilian, a cuisine which has developed through the absorption of a myriad of influences through the ages. With today’s focus on Sicilian cooking, we have a local chef unlock some of the secrets and teach us the techniques used here. As well as this, we discuss the importance and provenance of the ingredients and produce used. We also taste wines made from Etna’s unique microclimate and lava soils. Wine has been made in Sicily for over 2000 years, and the Etna DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) region is one of the key quality wine areas. The predominant red grape is called Nerello. Then

"Memories are the most beautifulpictures our minds can paint"

"I... only have praise and good things to say about how wonderful it

was. The places that we visited were fascinating and very unique,

and the food and wine was delectable. I didn't know what to expect

of the trip, but it more than fulfilled any hopes that I had for a great

week. Everything was well organised and the atmosphere was

friendly and relaxed. I can thoroughly recommend the tour.”
