Catania has been a prize of many empires over the centuries, from Greeks to Romans to Arabs to Normans to Spaniards (to name a few). But its citizens have a more dangerous enemy right in their backyard—Mount Etna, Europe's largest and most active volcano, which destroyed the city with earthquakes and lava flows in 1693. Look closely at the baroque buildings dating from after the eruption—you'll notice a creative use of lava.

We are in love with the volcano Etna! But, differently, we offer excursions more informal and engaging with outstanding itineraries.Our guides, professional and adept, will lead you to the discovery of the volcanological and ethnographic aspects of Etna, as well as its flora and fauna. A picnic of Sicilian flavors for a festive break accompanied by good local wine will also enable you to remember this day not just as a simple excursion but also as an experience brightened by colors and emotions. The collected feedback from all the B&Bs and Hotels have left us able to individualize suggestions, itineraries and qualified people able to transform the excursions around the volcano into an authentic experience.

This cooking class was the highlight of our stay in the Catania area. Loredana was incredibly an amazing Chef and the cooking class including the market tour was wonderful. The class was hands on and included a history of the dishes. We were able to pick the dishes before we got to Italy and Loredana ensured that the the dishes were 100% nut free, as we advised of allergy. Loredana also emailed us the recipes so that we could make everything again in our own. I would definitely do it again when I return to Sicily.
