Experiences

Experience Sicily with those who truly know it.

Some places are best discovered through the people you meet. An artist talking about their work, a skipper who knows the coast, someone tending a vineyard or keeping a workshop alive. We introduce you to people we have known for years: these relationships are the starting point for Cool Dreams experiences.

  • Six guests enjoy cocktails, wine and aperitivo bites in the courtyard lounge.

    Your table awaits in the courtyard.

    Aperitivo to share, a private dinner, a menu shaped around your wishes. In the courtyard, the pleasure of a lovely evening is just a few steps from your room.

    Plan your time in the courtyard
  • Marco Cartelli guides two guests through the palace’s stone arches.

    An insider’s view of the city.

    Explore the palazzo with the architect, meet the artist, step inside the workshops. Then discover the Gargallo palaces, museums and archaeology with someone who can find a story behind a façade or a detail.

    Explore the itineraries
  • The skipper and guests in the cockpit of the sailing yacht Razzmatazz.

    Let time set sail.

    Half a day under sail, a night aboard on the way to Marzamemi, an unhurried day at a beach club. Or the chance to explore beneath the surface. The sea has many rhythms. Find yours.

    Discover experiences at sea
  • Three hikers on the bridge beside Mulino della Scala and the stream.

    A change of pace.

    Etna with a volcanologist, the trails of Cava dei Mulini, a mountain bike ride through the Anapo Valley. A carriage ride, a rock face, the pleasure of trying something new: choose your way into the landscape.

    Explore the landscape
  • A sales assistant helps a customer choose a jacket while his companion looks on.

    Take your time to choose.

    An outfit, a piece of jewellery, something that feels like you. At Restivo and GiBi, we introduce you to people we know, so you can browse with all the time and attention you would like.
