If I could give this home and family more stars, I would... It is my second time here. This time I decided to stay for a month... and even month is not nearly enough... If you are a seeker of authentic Sicilian experience, look no further!!
This is the best place in Marsala for experiencing wine harvest, wine tasting, cooking classes with the best cook and the life as it should be lived - intensely and passionately.
This is something I wrote after a wine harvest of “Maltese” wine and family —
“In Vino Veritas”
My soul has always been in search of the truth... The truth in every waking moment. I have stripped myself from all conveniences and chose to dance naked in darkness. I have walked to all corners of our world and gave myself to the truth with recklessness. There are places and there are people, who transport you to your own infinity of subconsciousness.. through all the layers you sink from one to another. You drink wine of truth from their hands, you dance with shadows of your glorious imperfections and yield to chaos.
Who would we be without shadows? Who would we be without our own private truth and agony? How can we live and not experience the loss of consciousness and ego with another? How can you accept your wickedness, without jumping into its abyss?
There are places and people, who take your pain and paint masterpieces with it... to transform pain into love - that is the power of truth. The power that we can give to each other as gifts.. Perhaps at the end of your “swan song”, you will regret only one thing — that you did not live enough out of love.
I honor your truth, I honor your soul, I honor your journey... Somewhere in the intersections of our own choices we shall meet again... Each with our own glass of truth, but all filled with love.

Thank you so much for everything, my dear Maltese family! I can’t wait to return next year and hopefully make this a yearly trip. I will miss you all dearly! Your Lena xo
