Get grounded, the Sicilian way, at Tenuta Cammarana
The Sicilian countryside is vast and rugged. An untamed expanse where one goes to unwind, slow down, and taste the good things in life. Tenuta Cammarana is home to all things comforting and heart-warming. Guests are welcomed with open arms into this historic home, dating back nearly 400 years.
Each room of this unique boutique hotel embodies the estate’s long history, with an array of tasteful antiques filling each space. Feel history underfoot as you walk across carpets from previous centuries, still every bit as stately as the day they were painstakingly woven. Take it to slow in the country house library or listen to the sound of the breeze rustling through the carob trees while lounging next to the pool.
Walk through the fragrant gardens of Tenuta Cammarana estate and soak in the bursting smells of jasmine and old rose bushes while bees buzz among them. The olive groves seen across the land are the source of the estate’s liquid gold, cold-pressed olive oil. Soak up the scrumptious oil with bread baked fresh daily in the estate’s cheery kitchen.
