This hotel was once the farmhouse of Prince Nicolaci and the meticulously renovated property retains the opulent hospitality of its former life to offer an idyllic retreat in a postcard-perfect south Sicilian landscape of olive groves and rolling countryside. With two expansive pools, a private beach club on the Mediterranean coast and wellness amenities including a yoga pavilion, spa, gym, and tennis courts, it offers a countryside escape that can be as active or restful as you wish.
The 26 suites boast a spacious private patio and balance the authenticity of the Sicilian farmhouse aesthetic with an effortless elegance and refined simplicity in the sleek lines. The eight villas share this graceful approach, with muted tones and light-filled rooms with their own private pool and a patio of over 250 sqm. The dining options are equally well-curated, from contemporary Sicilian dishes in lush surrounds at Principe di Belludia to casual Sicilian dining at Casa Pasta, local ingredients are transformed into fresh, honest dishes that evoke the colour and aroma of the Sicilian countryside and Mediterranean coastline.
