6 nights between Sicilian palaces, southern wines and the wild Mediterranean
There is a Sicily we imagine as sun-drenched, generous, almost theatrical.
The Sicily of Baroque palaces, lively markets, façades gilded by time, hidden churches and tables where the Mediterranean can already be tasted.
And then there is another Sicily. Rawer. More mineral. More confidential. The Sicily of Pantelleria, a volcanic island set between Europe and Africa, made of black cliffs, wild coves, terraced vineyards, warm winds and sunsets facing the sea.
This 6-night journey combines two faces of Sicily: Palermo, intense, historic and gourmet, followed by Pantelleria, rarer, more intimate, almost secret. A refined escape for two, between Sicilian art de vivre, a wine experience and an island interlude.
The Spirit of This Journey
A refined and romantic Sicilian escape, between the Baroque elegance of Palermo, southern wines and the wild beauty of Pantelleria.
The VOD Address
In Palermo, you stay at Palazzo Cavarretta – Le Stanze dei Baroni, a charming address located in the heart of the historic centre. With its intimate atmosphere, refined décor, Sicilian Baroque spirit and discreet elegance, the hotel offers an ideal starting point to explore the city on foot.
From this address, Palermo reveals itself naturally: Quattro Canti, Teatro Massimo, the Ballarò and Vucciria markets, lively alleyways, ancient palaces and that unique energy that makes the Sicilian capital at once popular, noble and deeply alive.
In Pantelleria, the journey changes rhythm with Pantelleria Dream Resort, set within a spectacular volcanic landscape. Here, Sicily becomes wilder: turquoise sea, secluded coves, black rocks, terraced vineyards and open views over the Mediterranean.
An address designed for slowing down, breathing, enjoying the pools, the viewpoints, the evening light and that feeling of having arrived in a more secret Sicily, far from the classic itineraries.
The Signature Experience
The signature experience of this journey is a wine immersion around Sicilian wines with the “Sicilian Winery Tour with Wine Tasting from Palermo”.
Departing from Palermo, you set off to discover a Sicilian wine estate, its emblematic grape varieties and its landscapes. Nero d’Avola, Grillo, Catarratto: here, the wines tell the story of the sun, the soils, the winds and the island’s history.
The tasting, accompanied by regional products such as cheeses, cured meats and olive oil, extends the experience in a gourmet, local and convivial spirit. A beautiful introduction to Sicilian art de vivre before reaching the wilder atmosphere of Pantelleria.

About Palermo & Pantelleria
Palermo opens the journey with intensity. A city of palaces, markets, domes, weathered façades and street-food aromas, it concentrates all the cultural richness of Sicily. You walk through Arab, Norman, Baroque and popular influences, in an atmosphere that is vibrant and deeply Mediterranean.
Pantelleria then offers a striking contrast. Wilder, more mineral, more silent, the island reveals a rare Sicily: volcanic cliffs, secret coves, wind-swept vineyards, traditional dammusi, natural thermal baths and spectacular sunsets.
This journey is designed for those who want to discover Sicily differently: not simply as a sun destination, but as a land of character, elegance, flavours and powerful landscapes.
