I highly recommend this place. Luciano and Marialuisa were extremely welcoming hosts, and even if now due to COVID we had to keep safe distance, all went well and I felt very welcomed. They were very responsive over the phone, prepared everything for the trips before and after the excursions, and were good company. The horses seem to be taken care of in a good way, and they behaved pleasantly and calmly at all times. I made two excursions, one of 5 hours “La terrazza sulle Eolie”, which took us all the way up to Pollina, a picturesque rural town on top of a high hill, where we made a small stop to enjoy the view and get an ice cream together. Another tour I did was through vineyards (2 hrs) which was equally pleasant. I have lived in Sicily and travelled around quite extensively, but the views seen from our routes were still breathtaking! Small tip on getting there: from Cefalù the easiest and fastest way to get there is by following the SS286 until at the left-hand side there is an exit directly to the gate of Tenuta Luogomarchese (the agriturismo affiliated with SicilyHorseTours). Then the way will take you 15-20min. Don’t take the rural road via Sant’Anastasia, as Google Maps will probably tell you - while that one is very scenic as you navigate between vineyards, the road is narrow and it takes you about 15-20 min longer. Luciano and Marialuisa, grazie mille and I cannot wait to come back in the future!

Reviewed By Noodlez_Official - Catania, Italy

Woke up with the need to go horse riding, grew up with horses and felt a need to get back into nature. Searched nearby and found this place, being the buffoon that I am I didn’t call ahead to book the ride, but they saddled up the horses and took us on a fantastic bush trek, not the usual walk around within a fenced in property that many other places offer. For my fiancée it was her first time on horseback, and Alessandro made her feel comfortable right from the word go, didn’t play into her fears and explained the basics. I strongly recommend this to anyone, from beginners to experienced, or to those who have lost their contact with nature. I was also told they do 6 day treks and I will definitely be going back after one of the best experiences I’ve had. Horses treated with care and respect, and plenty of room for them to run around. Personnel experienced, helpful and kind.
