Donna Coraly Country Boutique Hotel
Contrada San Michele, Syracuse, Italy
10 Rooms
Contemporary Classic & Quiet
One MICHELIN Key · A very special stay
Not far from Syracuse, along the southeastern coast of Sicily, the 14th-century San Michele family estate is home to the small and luxurious Donna Coraly Country Boutique Hotel. A few low-profile buildings — once used to house farm workers — have been thoughtfully transformed into guest accommodations. While not original to the estate, the hotel was designed in a style that harmonizes with its surroundings, blending centuries-old architectural influences with modern and contemporary art and design.
The location strikes a perfect balance: close enough to town to feel convenient, yet far enough to offer a sense of peaceful seclusion. With a heated pool and an expansive estate to explore, it’s well suited to a self-contained, relaxing stay. The suites are spacious and luxurious, yet tastefully appointed.
At the heart of the property lies a heated saltwater “bio pool,” set within an impressive botanical garden. The La Zaituna restaurant, housed in the estate’s former olive mill, serves carefully crafted local cuisine, enhanced by fresh, zero-kilometre ingredients from the on-site garden. Meals can also be enjoyed poolside or, for those seeking more privacy, in your suite’s own secluded garden.
The estate holds significant historical value: it was right here — specifically in the Vigneto delle Vignazze — that the Armistice of Cassibile was signed on September 3, 1943. A commemorative stele now stands on the property to mark this pivotal moment in history.
