Deep Sicily Trail

5 star rating   25 April 2026

Michael who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. Rode a fine Anglo-Arab.
Good variation of walk, trot and canter - Fast gallops – not so much canters
Stirrups a little too tight for my riding boots with steel reinforcement

They only start check-in in Catania two hours before departure and there is no baggage drop. So you shouldn't arrive too early.

Some days were with a bit more endurance than I needed, but those were the conditions.

Beautiful views, blooming orchids and mimosas and exciting cultural history.

There is poisonous giant fennel growing everywhere - can eat through riding breeches. There are also prickly thorny yellow broom-like bushes with pea flowers. Chaps are recommended.

Fortunately the weather was really nice.

The host couple put a lot of professional work into everything. Would like to visit again.

Luggage storage in the center of Catania and transportation to the airport went well.
