A Taste of Sicilian Home Cooking and Hospitality - A taste of Sicilian home cooking and hospitality in the medieval hilltop town of Motta Camastra, overlooking the Alcantara river. Guests are taught how to make fresh pasta, given a tour of the town and then treated with a feast of local dishes as well as traditional live Sicilian music. A lovely and merry atmosphere evocative of bygone times. Highly recommended.

Too bad, it's all over - For a few years in a row, some friends and I never missed the Motta Camastra walnut fair. It was a very pleasant experience, the whole town was involved in the celebration, everyone enthusiastically improvised as a cook, reseller of nuts and other farm products, other pastry chefs. Everyone was selling on the street in a beautiful atmosphere of sharing and hospitality. Unfortunately, over the course of a few years the atmosphere changed, the dominant impression became that the inhabitants of the village were committed to taking advantage of the many tourists as much as possible and therefore the nuts went up in price, the cooked products had the taste typical of food prepared with ready-made products from large industries, the "fake" and horrible custard. Just a few mothers in the village (few) still persist in selling good products cooked with passion on the street in confirmation of ancient traditions. In short, everything has changed, the villagers have become smart and at least we will never go back there again
