Sicily...where the sea has sculpted a coastline of stunning variety and beauty! Wherever you turn, you'll see evidence of Sicily's 3,000 years of history as the strategic crossroads of Europe. The island's a vast open-air museum, a testament to nearly every Mediterranean civilization of the past. Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, and the largest region in Italy.
Immerse yourself in Sicilian culture and beauty for a week filled with fabulous food, wine and adventure in eastern Sicily. Terrie Viets, owner of Solari, will be your host as you experience life in a luxurious villa by the sea, meals prepared by our personal chefs, excursions to breathtaking destinations and new-found friendships. Terrie has visited Italy 65+ times and has extensive knowledge of Italian culture, its history of artistic craftsmanship, as well as its fabulous food and wine.
Our home for the week will be the exquisite Villa Don Venerando, situated just north of Catania. The villa enjoys a lovely location...just a short walk from the beach on Sicily's east coast overlooking the sea. Each double-occupancy bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom. Exquisitely decorated and appointed, Villa Don Venerando will provide the perfect retreat after our daily tours.
