Located in the center of a small Sicilian village on the Etna wine route, this family-run palazzo underwent a meticulous 10-year restoration process to emerge as a colorful hotel with a “living museum” concept. Under the care of the same family since the 17th century, the palazzo is now opening its doors to lucky guests.
Palazzo Previtera is part home, part hotel and part art gallery. Every last corner is lavished with family heirlooms, and each guest is given a tour of the palazzo’s common areas that can be as thorough as they wish. Despite the foot traffic, the sitting rooms can be lingered in, and feel more like family living areas than a hotel lobby. Outside, guests can wander through a garden built on lava rock and bursting with botanicals and a small vineyard.
