| School's out........again! October half-term in the UK. |
|
 UK half-term is less than 3 weeks away and what better way to take a break with your hard-studying kids than to hop on a flight to Sicily to stay in a home away from home? Heading south also means catching the last rays of the year, taking that last dip in the sea, plunging into the pool for as if it was still the summer and being served that last al fresco dinner of 2007. If you think we're exaggerating the photo above is Mondello at the end of October last year!

Trapani? It fell off the back of a chariot! |
|
 Most famous in recent times for having hosted the 8th and 9th Acts of the Louis Vuitton Cup, part of the America's Cup, Trapani boasts a long history which, according to legend, all began when something fell off the back of a lorry! That, of course is not quite true, but it does appear that a giant scythe fell off the back of Demeter’s chariot as she roamed around Sicily in search of her beloved Persephone....

Recipe of the month: "Polpette di sarde" |
|
 In Sicily, and the south of Italy in general, the poor man’s fish is the sardine. As such, it is a staple part of many households’ diets. To avoid cries of “Oh no, not sardines again!”, numerous recipes were invented and one classic often to be found in good local trattorie is “polpette di sarde”, or sardine balls. Often cooked in a fresh tomato sauce and served as a “secondo” it is absolutely delicious, healthy and quick and easy to make.

Christmas and New Year in Sicily |

Splendid villas for the festive season |
|
As every year, Think Sicily has some excellent villas on offer for the Christmas and New Year period.
Carving your turkey to the sound of waves lapping against the shore or singing Auld Lang Syne while Etna erupts in the background (we can't guarnatee this I'm afraid!) will certainly make a change from the Queen's Speech and repeats of much loved but too-oft repeated sit-coms!
For an unforgettable New Year's feast or a fully-serviced Christmas, we're delighted to announce that this year, L'Olmo is once more opening its doors over the Christmas season.
