Zagarella Domina Sicily in Santa Flavia, open JuneOctober.

Zagarella Domina Sicily occupies a restored 19th-century Sicilian estate that once served as a noble family residence before its transformation into a luxury hotel.

The property retains its original architectural character while offering modern amenities, combining centuries-old stone work with contemporary hospitality across 77 rooms and suites.

Located in Santa Flavia along the northern Sicilian coast, the venue draws on the region's rich cultural heritage to create an authentic Mediterranean wedding experience.

Excellent location near a great restaurant and main road. Good service in the food establishments within the hotel as well. The breakfast we included in our stay were good. The only complaint was that the parking was not convenient and expensive, we were placed offsite and had to walk on a busy road to get up the street to get our car if we wanted to go out. But the parking was secured by a gate and passcode.
