🍹This view + an aperitivo
On our journey to Sicily we will stay at two intimate residences…
🍇 Dimora Cottanera – Vineyard‑Side Luxury
Opened in August 2023 by the Cambria family, born from cherished vineyard memories. Housed in a lovingly restored century‑old winery near Mount Etna, this retreat offers 13 individually styled rooms, contemporary design, and serene vineyard views.
❤️ Guests love to bask in the exceptional service, stunning infinity‑pool vistas, thoughtfully curated gardens, and a full‑service spa featuring sauna, hot tub, and soothing massages.
🌸 Planeta Country House in Menfi – A Floral Retreat
Nestled in the charming countryside of Menfi, this boutique country house features just 10 rooms, each named after flowers found in the rare Acis Hortus Regius herbarium.
❤️ Guests love the graceful Mediterranean garden, infinity pool, and proximity to Menfi’s undeveloped, Blue-Flag beaches.
