Your Hosts

Irene

Born in Argentina with deep Italian roots, Irene settled in Sicily in 2022 where she found the dolce vita. As an architect, she renovates homes, and through @ireneinsicily, she shares her love for Sicilian culture — its food, traditions, and landscapes.

Guiding people to meaningful experiences is her way of sharing this love.

Maria Bruna

Born and raised in Sicily, Maria Bruna holds a Law degree with a focus on environmental law, because she believes protecting beauty and caring for the land is an act of love.

She is drawn to what is authentic and timeless — traditions, landscapes, and stories that preserve true identity.

Travel Insurance

  • Travel insurance is not included in the price.

Cancellation Policy

Because our trips are intimate, carefully curated experiences with limited spots, all payments are non-refundable.

However, your deposit is never “lost.”

If you can’t join the trip you originally booked, you can use your payment as a credit toward any of our other adventures, subject to availability.

Your credit can be applied to a trip within the same year or, at the latest, the following calendar year.

So if plans change, it simply becomes an opportunity to join us on a different — and maybe even more magical — experience.
