A medieval ashram turned into a boutique hotel, Eremo della Giubiliana is set in the heart of Sicily’s Baroque region.

Eremo della Giubiliana is a white-washed stone, luxury ashram-turned-hotel that has the privilege of hosting an archaeological site: a necropolis. It’s a sort of miniature village rising up amidst wild Sicilian countryside, and on clear days, from the tower, you can spot Malta and the African coast. It’s like living in an Medieval fairytale surrounded by carob trees. For a dreamlike stay, choose the estate’s cottages with limestone flooring and original furniture, or one of the many finely restyled suites, which were once friars’ cells. The Don Eusebio Restaurant, set in the ancient refectory and frescoed by Sicilian artists, serves traditional Sicilian fare.
