Overview


A luxurious 7-day trip to Sicily, featuring a mix of relaxation, cultural exploration, and culinary experiences. The itinerary includes stays in Palermo and Taormina, with activities such as spa treatments, golf, guided tours, olive oil tastings, pasta-making classes, and more.

An Offer You Can’t Refuse: A Sicilian Odyssey Inspired by "The Godfather"

When you set foot in Sicily, it’s more than a vacation—it’s a calling. A chance to move through the island’s landscapes, its history, and its flavors with the poise and presence of a legend. For seven days, you’ll live like a man who understands the power of tradition, the value of indulgence, and the thrill of timeless style. This journey is an offer you can’t refuse.

Day 1: Arrival – A Sicilian Welcome Fit for a Don

You arrive in Palermo, where Sicily’s elegance greets you at every corner. Villa Igiea becomes your stronghold—a place that echoes with history, where you’ll find a balance of luxury and quiet strength. Start things right with a restorative spa session; this is your time, after all. Dinner awaits at Osteria Ballarò, where each bite speaks of Sicily’s culinary legacy. End the night with a cocktail at Bocum Mixology—because a man should never settle for anything less than the best.

Day 2: Command the Green, and Walk in Michael Corleone’s Footsteps

The day opens with the crisp air of the Il Picciolo Golf Club, where you’ll play against the backdrop of Mount Etna, a silent reminder of Sicily’s enduring strength. For those preferring a slower pace, the resort spa awaits. After a morning on the green, step into a scene from "The Godfather." Your guide will lead you to Savoca and Forza d’Agrò, where you’ll sip a granita at Bar Vitelli—the very spot where Michael Corleone made his offer to Apollonia’s father. As Don Vito said, "A man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man," and today, you’re part of the Corleone legacy.

Day 3: Classic Cars, Olive Oil Tasting, and Mastering Sicilian Pasta

In Sicily, style is everything. Today, you take the wheel of a vintage Fiat 500, winding through the countryside in a ride as classic as the Corleone family legacy. Your drive leads you to Mandranova Olive Oil Farm for a taste of Sicily’s liquid gold. Here, olive oil is more than an ingredient; it’s a tradition. The day wraps up with a private pasta-making class at Massimo Villas. You’ll learn the secrets of Sicilian pasta, because every man should know his way around a kitchen.

Day 4: Taormina’s Beauty and a Toast to Sicily

Today, you make your move to Taormina. Settle into Hotel Villa Belvedere, a place that holds the sea and Mount Etna in its view—a reminder of Sicily’s power and grace. Spend the afternoon poolside, savoring the quiet strength of your surroundings. At sunset, head to Gambino Vini for a private vineyard tour and dinner. Here, you’ll toast to Sicily, surrounded by rolling hills and a golden horizon—a scene that speaks of respect, family, and tradition.

Day 5: The Water’s Call, Leather Crafting, and a Night of Glamour

Today, the sea calls. Step aboard a private boat and glide around Isola Bella for snorkeling, swimming, and taking in Sicily’s legendary coastline. After a day on the water, it’s time to sharpen your look. Ladies, create a custom Sicilian fragrance at Aqua di Taormina; gentlemen, explore handcrafted belts and wallets at Pelletteria Angelico. Tonight, you dress to the nines, as any respectable man would. Don the finest attire from Sicily Luxury Rental and arrive at Otto Geleng for an exquisite dinner. Cap the night with live jazz on the Timeo Terrace, a setting so perfect, even the Don would approve.

Day 6: Ancient Theater, Grooming Fit for a Don, and Cigar Tasting

Begin with the weight of history at Taormina’s Ancient Greek Theater. Here, empires rose and fell, a reminder of the importance of legacy. Gentlemen, follow this with an Italian shave at Barber Shop Taormina, complete with hot towels and a straight razor—a ritual for the man who knows his worth. Ladies, enjoy a Sicilian skincare ritual at the Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo Spa. As evening falls, sit back at Caffè Wunderbar with a cigar and a glass of Sicilian brandy, overlooking the Ionian Sea. Remember Don Vito’s wisdom: “Great men are not born great, they grow great.”

Day 7: Farewell in the Streets of Catania

Every journey has its end. In Catania, you’ll stroll through La Pescheria Market, taking in Sicily’s vibrant colors, scents, and flavors one last time. Enjoy your final meal at Osteria Antica Marina, where seafood is prepared with the same passion that drives Sicily itself.

As you depart, you’ll carry more than memories. You’ve experienced Sicily in a way that few ever do—through the lens of a man who knows his way around power, elegance, and history. This journey wasn’t just an experience; it was a legacy.
