A 5-day Itinerary of horse riding, sightseeing, good food and fun in Sicily.

EVERYTHING is included in price unless specifically declared otherwise…

Please note that this is a “sample” itinerary. We often change our plans depending on various circumstances such as special events at the time, restaurant closing holidays, places of interests situation and clients’ special tastes and wishes. We believe this flexibility is a major contribution to the continual success of our holidays and a look at our Tripadvisor reviews reflects this….

Day 1

• Assuming a morning arrival, we drive to Pippa’s Paddock in the Madonnie mountains, getting there in time for a light lunch.
• After lunch it’s time for horse riding.
• In the evening we go to a real authentic Sicilian restaurant in a nearby town for dinner.
  

  Day 2

• Horse-riding after breakfast, followed by a light snack enabling us to depart early after lunch.
  

• We arrive at a very small private club by an inland lake, where we can swim and make use of several facilities such as canoeing, pedalos. Water skiing is available (skiing is not included in package).
• We visit a reknowned horse training establishment where we can see fabulous horses in training.

• Lastly drinks in a very picturesque local garden pub.

 

 

 

Day 3

• After breakfast, we ride out to a Country restaurant (known locally as Agriturismo). We reach our destination after an aprox 3-hour ride in time to stable the horses, realx with a drink and a jump in the swimming pool. We then proceed to a true delicious lunch, after which (time permitting) we can have another dip in the pool or just sunbath etc… .  The ride back is around 1.5 hours…
