“We spent an afternoon at Augustali meeting the animals and tasting some wines, olive oil and Sicilian foods. Beatriz showed us around, and was absolutely lovely. She was very responsive throughout the booking process, and when we sadly had to reduce our booking numbers due to family illness, and really welcoming and friendly throughout our visit. We were greeted with some wine and water, then went to meet the farm's bees and tasted the homemade honey sweets that the farm make from their honey, which were delicious! We then met all the animals on a walk around the farm, including goats, sheep, horses, ponies, rabbits, geese, ducks and chickens. The…”

“As a family, we are looking for real life experiences, to get a view of other cultures and traditions. At Pozzo de Gaspara, we found it all. The tour was amazing, the work and careful planning shows great values. The meal and talk we spent together afterwards with Giuseppe was unforgettable! We will return, life will never be the same wirhout the bolond orange salad! And we will alwasy beware of the geese 😉”

“Awesome day, exceeded my expectations! Tour was very interesting, we even had the opportunity to pick olives!”

“Francesco,la nostra guida,è stato molto professionale e simpatico.Con le sue spiegazioni ci ha insegnato tutto quello che c’era da sapere sull’Etna.Ottima anche la degustazione vini con piatti locali”

“Enjoying spending time and hearing of the experiences of the couple who own the farm. Food was good, farm tour was very interesting. A nice experience.”

“you can’t really put into words the most incredible sanctuary that carlo and jessie have created. it’s an honour to experienced this. from the get go they were fantastic - supporting with transport as i was a solo traveller - they put me in touch with others in my area so we could get there together.”

“Unforgettable for lovers of volcanoes! Our guide Catherine was of simplicity, calm and absolute benevolence, clear explanations... the icing on the cake we heard 2 or 3 times the volcano!”

“This was a wonderful experience all around! Raffaele is very knowledgeable about the island as a whole, so we ended up getting a bonus with learning so much more than expected (about chestnuts, almonds, Sicily history/mythology, etc.). Even though I brought my own nuts (my parents lol JK), he made sure we had the best time going out of his way to create the best memories. The hike was a lot of fun and suitable for our hiking skill level, and the pistachio farm was our favorite part of the entire vacation. Samantha, her mother were very welcoming and hospitable, and the meal cooked for us was the one of…”

“Amazing! Highly recommend taking this tour. Jess and Carlo are excellent, welcoming hosts. You can really feel their compassion and love for their incredible project and land. They make you feel like you are a part of it. This is more than a tour. It is a beautiful life experience. The property is beautiful with a rich history. We really enjoyed learning about all of the past civilizations that inhabited their land. We loved how they are incorporating their personal stamp with honoring and respecting the vast amount of history on their property. Learning about the revival of their ancient garden and the milling wheat was a delight. We learned…”

“I cannot recommend this experience enough. This has been the highlight of our entire trip! Barbara and Chris are so incredibly kind and passionate about their home, and it truly shows with how they guide you through this experience. We really enjoyed learning about the production of pistachios and what makes Bronte unique before getting to indulge in some of the most delicious food we’ve ever had. Each course was better than the next! And lunch is served with a gorgeous backdrop of the farm, as well as the valleys and mountains surrounding Etna. A huge bonus is that Barbara takes photos and videos along the way so that you…”
