Italy was absolutely stunning! We decided to only tour Sicily and I’m so glad we did! Bastien helped to book everything we needed to perfection! We did a private tour around Palermo but I have to say I think I would recommend the hop on hop off bus for that instead. A must see tour is with Dario to Mount Pellegrino and Mondello beach! It was STUNNING! Seeing the cave where the relics of the patron saint of Sicily were found was unforgettable! All the villas and hotels that were booked were amazing and no issues! People were so nice there even with speaking minimal Italian and the food was to die for!!! Agrigento was by far one of my favorite days of the trip seeing the Ancient Greek ruins! The BnB Villa Maiolica was one of our quickest stays but most welcoming! They had the best and freshest breakfast it was amazing! Most of the other breakfast offered with the hotels were mediocre! Ragusa was such an amazing little area with unreal gelato and beautiful scenery! We spent an afternoon in Marsala which was so cute and great shopping! We did a day boat trip to Favignana and that had some stunning beaches and cliffs! The Salt roads were unbelievable at sunset! It was so cool to see all the natural salt and how it is harvested!The way that Bastien worked to make this the most unforgettable trip catered to exactly what we wanted was amazing! I was also traveling with my 3 year old and he worked around that to make it the best trip while incorporating a child! I continue to recommend kimkim to everyone I speak with! Truly unreal experience! All to places that I would have never thought or known to book! Even a local found out about things we were doing and he said that’s not a normal tourist stop and I love that you’re seeing true Sicily! We had the best time!! Thank you KimKim and Bastien!!!
Hotel Reviews
Such a sweet Villa! The people who run it were amazing! The breakfast was the freshest we had the whole time in Italy! They made hand squeezed orange juice with mint and it was one of my favorite things! The bathroom was brand new and very nice! We had a HUGE balcony off the bedroom! We were a 5 min walk from the waterside with tons of restaurants!
It is right off the highway but still feels like a little hideaway! The room was amazing and the pool with the view was great!! Only downside is don’t eat lunch or dinner here the food was terrible! Breakfast was good! Very basic!
This really made you feel like you were in Italy! When driving there you think this can’t possibly be where I’m going and then you take a turn and end up driving through a vineyard to this beautiful villa! The room was two floors and so nice with a kitchen set up! Animals all around and a ping pong table with my little one loved! So beautiful and close enough to town to grab dinner!
This had the most beautiful view of a vineyard! So pretty and loved the room!!
Seeing the salt road at sunset right next to the hotel was AMAZING!!! The restaurant they own is next door and the sunset alone is worth staying here! Aside from the fact that the pool is gorgeous and the rooms!
PERFECT location in the center of Palermo! Driving in to it was a bit tough they have an app you have to get to pay a fee for driving to get to them because it is meant mainly for foot traffic! So once you park your car I suggest you leave it and tour by foot or taxi!
Literally on the ocean! The view from our room was stunning and it had a little sitting area to look out at the water! The food here at night was SOOOO delicious! We actually never left the hotel and just enjoyed the amenities on our last day by the water!

Didn’t think this was worth it! The tour guide was so nice! But we could have easily just walked around and did a similar thing! He gave us great recommendations on food and such but I didn’t find this necessary.
This is a MUST!!! Such an amazing experience! Dario was truly so great! He took us to the top of the mountain where we went inside the mountain to see where the relic of the patron saint of Sicily was found! It was one of the most moving things I have ever seen! After we went to Modello beach and enjoyed some real Sicilian food! One of the best days of our trip!
