a woman in love - Giovanna is a beautiful woman in love. She is in love with her land and her roots. From this love the "Oil Tour" was born. It is his creature to which he dedicates himself with all the energy at his disposal, despite certain difficulties and contradictions of his land and of this time. The result is 2 hours of immersion in a story built with experience and competence, enriched by a visit to the oil mill and tasting of quality oils and more. It is a true and honest story, kind but simple, without embellishment to mislead the tourist. You can meet it a few minutes from Cefalù, which the tourist guides speak highly of. They are right, but if you like to admire a pearl of Sicily today and not just that of 1000 years ago, don't miss spending a few hours on a detour from Giovanna to S.Ambrogio.
