  • Sicily Travel Tips : Romance and Spirit of Sicily - Cefalù Documentary w/Massimo Villas
    My friend Massimo invited us to stay in Cefalu and explore the surrounding areas including local towns and villages. We also went to Palermo to eat street food and of course ice-cream!
    We found the house of Aleister crowley, the wickedest man in the world and climbed La Rocca. There is a lot to do in Cefalu and in this documentary I go to see the wine making process at a vineyard in Sant'anastasia and we see where Cinema Paradiso was filmed and The Godfather. Boat trips, food, drink, bikes and much more!
    Come with me and enjoy the smells, tastes and delights of Cefalu and Sicily!

    I like your quirky style which is in contrast to Rick Steeves' show. That feast at the end looked amazing but it would have been nice to have heard from a local food writer. I think Giuliano, the net maker, is referring to Salvatore Giuliano the famous bandit!

    I am heading to Cefalù in July! What is the name of the winery you visited - we would love to go

    Nice video! Is there a way to contact Angelo for a guided tour of Cefalu?
