Restaurant tips and table booking service
If you love good food, Sicily is the holiday location for you! We have selected several restaurants, where you can enjoy real Sicilian cuisine and/or a delicious pizza prepared in a wood burning pizza oven. You’ll find all our restaurant tips in our digital travel guide, the onsicilycard, which we offer our guests free of charge.

We can also book a table for you in one of the excellent restaurants on this sunny island. Don’t forget to let us know if you’re allergic to certain ingredients, so we can pass that information on to the chef.

Our digital travel guide, the onsicilycard
Many years ago, when we started letting apartments and holiday homes in Sicily, we wanted to offer our guests an extensive service. We started to organize (among other things) cooking classes, diving activities, boat trips, pizza courses and car rental and we started to offer tips for place of interest and the best restaurants in the area.

In 2014 we bundled all our tips and introduced the onsicilycard. The onsicilycard is a digital travel guide with lots of information in English (and Dutch) about all the places of interest in Sicily, (town) festivals, concerts, exhibitions and other events and tips from people who know Sicily inside and out, about the best restaurants, B&B’s, hotels and agriturismi and fun activities and workshops, like horseback riding, trekking, cycling, cooking classes, wine tastings and much more! At most participants in the onsicilycard you’ll also get discounts and/or other perks!

Thanks to the navigation option, bad or missing signage or unclear addresses won’t be an obstacle anymore. Now you can easily find and drive to all places of interest and our participants, using your smartphone, TomTom or Garmin
