“Me and my friends had a great time at Maria Rita's! She is a wonderful and generous host. She welcomed us as if we were family and made sure this experience was wonderful for us. The food was very delicious and really inspired us to make some pasta at home! Grazie Maria Rita!”
Bellini and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons in Catania’s Abbey of Sant’Agata. A 1.5-hour string concert with top local musicians.
“We loved the experience and the fact the performance was in a church made the sound of the acoustics excellent. The musicians were very talented and good to know the composer’s remains were across the road meant we could visit. The staging lighting and setting was perfect. The only negative was the street music outside which we could hear. The lead violinist was breathtaking.”

“Our guide, Francesca, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We got a good overview of Taormina’s history and she even talked about local plants, which we really appreciated. Our only issue with the tour is the lack of information about parking. We had a rental car and it would help to provide guidance in the tour information on where to park. Otherwise, all was as described.”
