Hike and picnic in the Nature Reserve of Pizzo Raxiura
with Valentina and Giovanni
A day in the Roxiura Woods, a vast forest expanding from Caccamo to Roccapalumba and Alia in the River Torto Valley. During our walk we will cross different landscapes from a cork oak wood to verdant pastures; depending on the season we will also be able to forage for some edible wild plants. We have also planned a picnic with local and seasonal products of the Madonie. From the top of Mt. Ragiura, also known as Roxiura (936 m / 3,070 ft), we will enjoy a stunning view overlooking the Torto Valley.

Brother and sister team Valentina and Giovanni Guccione take care of their family farm, DARA GUCCIONE BIOFARM, handed down through generations since the eighteenth century. It was Valentina who, moved by the desire to share the charm of this estate, created a unique rural hospitality system. Her offerings have nature at their core and are perfectly integrated with the farm that her brother Giovanni runs.
