For the past four years, I've made it a tradition to spend my summers immersing myself in nature, and this year has been truly exceptional. A week-long residential adventure took us to some of Sicily's most treasured spots. Our journey kicked off in San'Ambrogio, where we enjoyed an unforgettable day by the sea, complete with a magical horseback swim. It was an incredible experience! We then ventured into the Alte Madonie for two days of pure mountain bliss. Despite facing fog, wind, rain, and cold, the thrill of ascending high into the mountains was priceless. From Piano Zucchi to Piano Battaglia, Pizzo Carbonara, and Piano Pomo, we were treated to awe-inspiring vistas and an intimate connection with Sicily's soul. Our refuge at the "Francesco Crispi" shelter provided warmth, laughter, and a crackling fireplace. Our horses were steadfast companions throughout the journey. In Pollina, we stumbled upon a hidden gem atop a hill, home to a fascinating Manna museum. Our gallops along the trails left lasting impressions. A visit to the Sanctuary of Gibilmanna was another highlight, offering breathtaking panoramas stretching all the way to Cefalù. But what truly made this experience extraordinary was the wonderful company. Sharing these adventures with Simona, a longtime riding companion, and meeting new friends like Jasmine enriched the journey beyond measure. Special thanks to Luciano's team, especially Marialuisa and Paola, the McLeod Sisters, for making every moment unforgettable. In summary, the organiser provides an opportunity to embark on a horseback adventure that delves deep into Sicily's authentic essence. I wholeheartedly recommend this extraordinary and genuine experience!

Just came back from the six-day trekking adventure from Cefalù to Etna.. It was a beautiful and exhilarating experience.. the rush of galloping through the woods and the mesmerizing allure of Etna's craters.. Excellent organization, with fun and friendly guides.. Highly recommended for everyone!

The horseback riding excursion for my birthday turned out exactly as I had imagined. From the mountains, we made our way to the beach through several trails, enjoying the spectacular panorama and landscape along the way. And finally, the gallop on the beach—a childhood dream come true. I am immensely grateful to Luciano for making it all possible; he's as friendly and accommodating as they come. Thank you!

La nostra prima avventura a cavallo con Luciano è stata fantastica! Ci siamo divertiti tantissimo in un posto meraviglioso. Un ringraziamento speciale va a Paola, che ci ha guidato attraverso tutti i primi passi di questa esperienza. Non vediamo l'ora di tornare per vivere altre avventure con loro! 😆

Come perfetti principianti, abbiamo deciso di provare un'escursione a cavallo di 2 ore. È stata un'esperienza fantastica, con cavalli gentili e adatti a noi. Lo staff è stato disponibile e competente. Abbiamo goduto di panorami meravigliosi attraverso il Parco delle Madonie. Consigliamo vivamente!
