Accommodation

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

Surrounded by the scents of lemon and orange blossoms and jasmine, and with breathtaking views of the sea, it is the ideal place for Pilates, meditation, dance, or simply pure relaxation. You will stay in small bungalows that resemble traditional Sicilian shepherd's huts, but are modern in design. The rooms are lovingly decorated—terracotta, ceramics, and wrought iron characterize the simple, charming, and cozy style. Breakfast and dinner are served on the veranda overlooking the sea or in the cozy living room. Included services:
