Our idea is that of letting clients enjoy their holiday with a slow rhythm in contact with nature, such as proposing a day-trip by jeep to the beautiful and nearby Etna or a trekking excursion that allows them to enjoy the splendid countryside beauty of the Alcantara Gorge. Furthermore, in just a few hours you can enjoy a naturalistic excursion on the back of donkeys which go up to the summit of Mount Venere and from which you can enjoy one of the most beautiful panoramas in the world. In a day, clients can visit Syracuse or Piazza Armerina where you can clearly see the historical dominations of the Sicilian Island among ancient theatres and residences or you can visit nearby Savoca which was the backdrop for one of the greatest cinema works. The Godfather. Hotel Villa Sonia urges travelers to stop and savor the flavors and fragrances by also organizing parties (Beginning of Summer or Wine-Harvest) thus allowing them to live the experiences and emotions that cannot be captured in a photograph.
