Giardino di Sicilia is a small paradise on 3 hectares of land, in a family atmosphere with 12 rooms, and an environment full of centuries-old olive groves and Mediterranean and tropical plants and trees.

Surrounded by the scents of lemon and orange blossom and jasmine and with breathtaking views of the sea, it is the ideal place for Pilates, meditation, dance or simply pure relaxation.

You stay in small bungalows that resemble traditional Sicilian shepherd's huts, but are built in a modern style. The rooms are lovingly decorated - terracotta, ceramics and wrought iron characterize the simple, charming and cosy style.
Breakfast and dinner are served on the veranda overlooking the sea or in the cozy living room.
