01 · In a sentence

Casato Licitra in Ragusa, open JuneOctober.

Casato Licitra operates as a working hotel and event space in southeastern Sicily, meaning you can house 100+ guests on-site rather than coordinating multiple accommodations.

The property sits on the SP 13 between Castiglione and Kastalia, offering countryside access without isolation—you're 10.8 km into wine country with direct control over your venue and lodging logistics.

Went horse riding here whilst staying in Ragusa, they picked us up from the (tiny!) train station in Donnafugata, which was great. The horses were well kept and well behaved, everyone was very friendly and relaxed, the countryside is beautiful to ride in. Very remote and Donnafugata is a small and quiet town.
