We stayed with Georgi and Timi for 2 weeks and it was the perfect kite holiday for us!! The kite spot is very good (good wind nearly every day, shallow... read more water, not growded) for both beginners and advanced kite surfers. Timi and Georgi are professional instructors and put a huge effort to teach us and see us improving in kite surfing. Besides the kite surfing, they are really friendly and made our time here in Birgi Vecchi very nice and comfortable. For example they took us to the supermarket (as we had no car), arranged the transport to the airport, invited us to parties and lent us their SUP for free. So generous! We also stayed in their apartment which is cosy, clean and cheap. All in all a perfect holiday - thanks to Timi & Georgi. Hope to see you again next year 🙂

  I‘ve spent 3 days at the kite place for a beginner course with 7 hours in total. I was absolutely surprised that I was kiting at the second day. ... read more /> Thanks to my great teacher Martin and all the other nice and supportive people there. George, the owner is doing a great job with his kite school and his team. The equipment was high quality and it was also possible to borrow all the clothes for kiting. (If you don’t want to bring your own or don’t own it.)

Besides the great experience with my first time kiting I felt in really good hands with all the other people at this place. Super friendly and a nice surrounding. It felt really familiar.

A tipp: bring a really good sun cream for your face. As a beginner you always have to look in the air and directly into the sun. The first day the sun hit me really hard . Use a sun cream they don’t get into your eyes easy. It really burns and makes kiting a little bit difficult.

Would love to come back!
Definitely worth to visit and book for your kite experience!

  We had a blast last year!
We brought some personal gear to Sicily. We did some refreshing lessons to get more confident with kiting and the spot.

The lessons... read more were good and on point, really good value for money! You can rent/use everything you need. And it is no problem to partly use your own gear. After you rent a kite/board you are free to swap equipment if the conditions change. You are allowed to use their facilities and help for a small fee if you're only using your own gear.

The spot is good. you launch the kites within 15m of the lagoon. The lagoon is huge, shallow, salty and a bit muddy (with plants) but this doesn't influence the kiteboarding.
You can partly trust windfinder, however, the wind speed is often higher than predicted!

We've enjoyed our stay last year and we're currently checking if we'll go to Stagnone again. If yes, we will definitely go back to Timi and Giorgi if we are in the area!

Thanks guys! (Arjan & Willeke NL)
