The hiking Mt. Etna day trip was amazing!! The guide was awesome-never rushing us. Ending this trip with the Barone Winery was icing on the cake.

The Villa is nestled among the olive groves of Modica. You could not ask for a more picturesque setting in which to take classes. The rooms are spacious with separate bathrooms. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone wishing to experience True Sicily.
