01 · In a sentence

Stacci Rural Resort in Cannizzara, open AprilOctober.

Stacci Rural Resort occupies a restored 19th-century Sicilian farmhouse in the Cannizzara countryside, where stone structures and agricultural heritage have been thoughtfully preserved and adapted for modern hospitality.

The property maintains its original character while offering contemporary amenities across its 12 rooms and event spaces.

Set within 8 hectares of Mediterranean landscape, the venue honors its origins as a working estate while serving as a full-service destination for ceremonies and receptions.

Great location. Quiet (apart from some dog noises during the night and a rooster in the morning, what you can expect from the countryside). Great for two toddlers to run around. Very good breakfast and dinner.

Asked along the way.

The 8-hectare property offers multiple outdoor settings among olive groves and gardens. Specific ceremony locations depend on season, guest count, and weather contingencies.
