| Arrival in Sicily Sicily is an island of contrasts, a mixture of thriving ecologies and stretches devastated by petrochemical pollution, of enchanting Mediterranean markets and dilapidated slums. The magnificent temples of Agrigent are set against monstrous high-rise apartment buildings; the peaceful tranquility of Madonie Park gives way to the noise and confusion of Palermo. Visitors to Sicily should be prepared to face chaotic traffic conditions. Traffic signs tend to be either absent or confusing. The rules of the road do not enjoy the same status as they do in most other Western cities. Whoever comes to Sicily must be prepared to accept the good with the bad. No one will forget a visit to this island. Travellers who are prepared to embrace south European nonchalance will discover friendly, helpful citizens and soon learn to love the island. |

Accommodation: A working farm The peacful farm lies 4 km from the Valle dei Templi and 3 km from the sea. Organic oranges, almonds, pistachios and olives are grown on about 110 acres of land. The farmstead consists of several buildings gathered around a courtyard that feels like the stage of an Italian opera. While the main bulding was constructed in the 19th century, the tower and archway are presumably much older. Guest rooms are located in the villa, the tower and the converted stalls. A swimming pools is available during the summer months. A house speciality is dinner made of fresh ingrediants grown on the farm and served around a large family table. |
