Lift everyone’s spirits with a helicopter flight over the smoking peak of Mt Etna or around the Aeolian Islands and discover Taormina, Catania or the small hill-top villages with a murder mystery game, treasure hunt or cooking activity.
Get back to basics and spend time in Sicily’s beautiful countryside, away from the tourist hubs. Taste delicious local produce along the way or make your own wine, olive oil or limoncello. Feast in country taverns set amongst the fertile valleys and tranquil hillsides of vineyards and orchards. Food may not be the primary reason to visit Sicily but for many it becomes the unquestioned highlight! Get your team working together while having a great day out in the beautiful countryside by picking olives, grapes or lemons. After the day’s work is over, you can relax and build your strength with a barbeque in the countryside or a pizza making feast. Learn to make ricotta cheese with the shepherds and indulge in the secrets of the Sicilian kitchen joining the ‘la mamma’ making fresh pasta. Taste DOC wines from the various Sicilian regions or the sweet Marsala wine from Cantine Florio, as Sicily is one of Europe’s top wine producing regions.
Discover the Sicilian coast and Aeolian islands by luxury sailing yachts, a traditional gullet or by speed boats. Anchor in tranquil bays, soak in the sun, swim, dive, snorkel and relax . Challenge you team’s competitive skills in a sailing regatta in a fleet race or match race with Olympic sailing champions . The Aeolian Islands are a group of seven islands, and one of the most beautiful sailing grounds in the world. By yacht, you can really enjoy the island’s breathtaking panoramas: colossal rocks and crags of various shapes and sizes jutting out of the sea, cliff faces topped by high pinnacles and charming inlets of turquoise water. Days can be spent relaxing on board or by the Mediterranean Sea or partaking in a myriad of island activities, including water sports, quad and Vespa rides, treks to prehistoric sites or bathing in hot mineral springs.
Sicily is a unique place full of art, archeology, folklore and breathtaking scenery and has attracted the attention of outsiders for more than 6000 years. Greek tyrants, Arab emirs, Norman knights, Byzantine bishops and Holy Roman Emperors have all added their stamp and made Sicily the place you see today. Sicily’s myriad of ancient cultures sets the background for an unforgettable event. A private concert at an archaeological site, a mystery tour to ancient graves, a conference in a medieval church or your business meeting in an Arab- Norman castle. In Sicily you find more remains of the Greek empire than you will find in the whole of Greece. Most famous are the Valley of the Temple in Agrigento, Segesta, Selinunte and Syracuse. Other cultural highlights are the Cathedral of Monreale, the Capella Palatina in Palermo and the famous mosaics of Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina.
Escape into the world of Sicilian princes at a magical 18th century villa, taken straight from the pages of the literary classic ‘Il Gattopardo’, a testimony to Sicily’s fading aristocracy. Dine in splendor to the accompaniment of a private operetta from the famous Bellini Theatre. Enjoy the prestigious, baroque and private Palazzo Biscari in the heart of Catania or Palermo’s Palazzo Butera named “Domus magna alla Kalsa” in the 16th century. Dine and dance the evening away in lounges decorated with frescoes and bas-reliefs, magnificently furbished in the splendor of the Sicilian aristocracy. Celebrate at a private ‘ball dansant’ with costumes from the 18th century or give your evening a more modern twist transforming your “Baroque party” into a ”Ba –rock party”.
