Come join our olive harvest this October!

Foodies, Italophiles, and nature lovers, this one’s for you! This October, we’re opening up our Sicilian olive harvest in the private groves of the family 17th-century villa to 6 visitors/3 couples. We’re offering a 5-night stay and full immersion into this authentic local experience on either a group booking or per room basis (first come first served!) While staying at the beautiful castle-like villa (which has its own orange & lemon grove, swimming pool and tennis court), you can get involved as much (or as little) as you like with the olive picking, then watch the olives you pick get made into extra virgin olive oil at the local mill! Each day, you’ll be served delicious Sicilian food, and other activities include a wine tasting at a local winery, a tour of Selinunte’s world-famous Greek temples, a private cookery class, and more. This truly authentic experience is a chance to reconnect with nature and learn about the local way of life in a tranquil corner of Western Sicily.
