"Set amid milky-stoned courtyards and olive groves that once belonged to an Italian prince, Il San Corrado blends sacrosanct traditional structures with contemporary interventions by Corrado Papa—archways slice pure Sicilian light into celestial stepping stones, and an orchid-clad library showcases Helmut Newton prints as a shady refuge. Two pools carved from Modican stone sit among elegantly muted suites and pool villas, while the food is a major draw: from alchemic tasting menus at Principe di Belludia to the homey CasaPasta lobster and sausage tagliatelle, the property offers pure foodie rapture that can make you never want to leave the estate." - Rosalyn Wikeley

"Housed in a former nobleman’s farmhouse in the Val di Noto, this Relais & Châteaux estate offers 26 suites and eight private pool villas styled with neutral palettes, four‑poster beds, and travertine marble bathrooms; villas provide generous living areas and private pools for true solitude. Culinary programming is central—onsite dining focuses on Sicilian cooking and the property runs cooking classes—while two pools, a private yoga pavilion, tennis courts, a modern fitness room, and a spa round out the offering; it’s also a short drive from southeastern fine‑sand beaches and the baroque towns of the region." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
