Vineyard
stay: Stay on a working
winery in western Sicily
and enjoy a wine holiday with a group of friends (enough space to accommodate

organised tours and excursions. Find out

a working winery on the Spadafora estate which is situated on the famous 'Strade
del Vino'. Enjoy visiting some of Sicily’s greatest treasures including the Greek ruins at
Selinunte and Segesta
and the magnificent Norman cathedral at Monreale. Alternatively, continue the
wine-making theme with a trip to Marsala
and specifically the Cantine Florio.

Aristocratic
estate: Villa Barresa is the archetypical old-style
aristocratic villa, set in the midst of a vast citrus plantation in the province of Syracuse
in eastern Sicily. Indoors, there are several living and
sitting-rooms but it is ultimately the magnificent tropical plant and palm
tree-filled garden that differentiates this villa. Additional services on offer include daily
cleaning and an optional chef service which allow you to sit by the pool or
under the cool of the covered gazebo or terrace and drink in the atmosphere
while someone else sees tidies up and whips up gourmet meals for you.
A four-night stay at Barresa starts at £2095 (sleeps 12) in May with www.soloSicily.com. Return flights to Catania airport (30 kms) with Easyjet or BA.
