INFO

Planned activities and schedules may change at short notice due to seasonal rhythms of life in Sicily.

Accommodation at Case Vecchie or one of the nearby cottages, shuttle from/to Roccapalumba train station, indicated lessons, meals, wine and excursions.

Lunch and dinner are served with wines from the Tasca d’Almerita estate. Typical meals and cooking lessons include three or four courses.

Unfortunately we cannot host people with celiac disease or a vegan diet. This is due to the lack of availability of special ingredients in our rural and isolated location.

Airfare and private transportation to and from Case Vecchie are not included in the cost. At the time of booking, please let us know if you would like to book a ride to and from the estate. 

Signature Stay

After over 30 years in business, we can definitively say we have found the formula for your perfect stay in rural Sicily. Our signature four-night stay is for those willing to let go, dig in, and immerse themselves in the Sicilian food landscape. It’s an opportunity to experience a different Sicily where the landscape announces itself around the table. Our focus is food, but the magic extends to the place and people who are willing to meet us here.

Case Vecchie is a home and our guests are family. You’ll eat fresh from the farm and have a chance to see some parts of hidden Sicily: ricotta making, fine wines, and wheat fields forever. We aren’t for the casual traveler or the quick stopover. Anyone who joins us at Case Vecchie must be brave, open, and willing to taste what Sicily truly has to offer.

A four-night stay includes two cooking classes and three lunches, four bountiful breakfasts, and four delicious dinners all designed to introduce you to different menus that represent the range of Sicilian cuisine and local ingredients. You will visit a local cheesemaker to delight in fresh ricotta and to better understand Sicily’s agricultural history and current reality. Meals on site are accompanied by Tasca D’Almerita wines, you will get to visit their winery at Tenuta Regaleali, the same family property where Case Vecchie is located and where their wine-life adventure began back in the 1950’s.
