Domus Hyblaea Resort in Palazzolo Acreide, open JuneOctober.

Located in southeastern Sicily's Val di Noto UNESCO World Heritage area, Domus Hyblaea Resort offers couples a working advantage: on-site accommodations mean guests eliminate travel logistics between ceremony, reception, and overnight stays.

The 4.8-rated hotel provides direct control over your timeline and guest experience across multiple days, with Sicily's baroque architecture and Mediterranean landscape as your backdrop.

We stayed with Cinzia and Chris from Boxing day, through New Year for 10 days. This place, the staff, the chef Daniele and the hosts were the most attentive and kindest people you could wish to meet. It felt like we were welcomed as family. Stunning scenery, impeccable gardens and tranquility. A real gem. It's also a great base to investigate south east Sicily with Siracusa, Catania, Noto, Modica and Caltagirone within easy reach. The resort is at 600m altitude in the Hyblea mountains so expect it to be a bit cooler than the coast. We had a beautiful small stone built house with kitchen and bathroom and an aircon system that doubles as a heater. The beds were (thankfully) very firm and comfortable which was a bonus because we've had several holidays ruined by bad beds. Lastly, the restaurant is really good. A lot of love has been put into the food, as with everything at Domus Hyblea. update New Year 2025/26: We came back again this year after such a wonderful time last year. So nice to be made to feel so welcome. Thanks to the whole Domus Hyblaea team, buon anno nuovo! Andy, Victoria & Coco x
