Eremo della Giubiliana, Sicily

A grand monasterial-like hotel, the luxurious Eremo della Guibilliana is beautifully situated in the Sicilian countryside.

The walls breathe history. And there is still a feeling of long ago times; of fortresses and convents, Arab invaders and passing Crusaders. Eremo della Guibiliana is part of an estate that included a 12 century fortified Arab hermitage. It was a bastion against Turkish invasion, and its convent structure attracted Crusaders as long ago as the early 16th century.

Of course, if you make the Eremo della Guibiliana part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Italy you will find new levels of comfort and elegance. Nowadays it’s a five star hotel featuring the best of contemporary amenities. Not least of which is the fine-dining Don Eusebio Restaurant with its attendant Culinary School and admirable wine cellar.
