Pop-art olive farmstead
Centuries-old olive groves surround a nineteenth-century stone mill, reimagined with graphic prints and an easygoing agricultural rhythm.
“Decked in bright, cheery patterns, Braccialieri’s textiles and tiles mirror Val di Noto’s vibrant orchard and organic farm bounty.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Braccialieri is the modern-luxe version of Sicilian country living, with high-end furniture and décor by well-known Italian designers alongside authentic old-world details.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Noto is a ten-minute drive away, and hiking trails wind through the limestone canyons of Cavagrande del Cassibile.
The rooms
Canvas villas with timber decks sit among the olive trees, and farmhouse suites keep their chiselled stone walls and olive-green shutters.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Floral parasols shade the lawn around the pool, where red-and-white tiles are inscribed with 'Don't forget to love'.
Restaurant
Dodici Zappe
Tables sit beneath a timber pergola and inside the stone palmento, serving seasonal Sicilian dinners.
At the table
Café Braccialieri serves espresso, Sicilian wines, and evening cocktails from a bar lined with red fish-scale tiles.
How it began
The estate takes its name from the braccialieri, the Sicilian day laborers who once worked its nineteenth-century olive mill.
