  • Hello! We are hoping to visit you in mid october, I just have a few questions regarding that. Is it possible to have bring our 5month old daughter to this hotel? And do you have baby-beds? I saw that the price nearly doubled from two adults to two adult+1child. Is that right?

    We have baby cots , baby chair. The price depends on the typology of the room, you can book a double room here on booking, we don't charge for babies. If you would like to ask any other questions, do not hesitate to reach out.

Company information

Hospitality is at the heart of what we do at Previtera since 1880 when the family started three boarding schools scattered around Sicily as well as setting up institutes for the education of women and children. We believe in protecting our nature and sharing with our guests. We work according to the principle of food sustainability and local produces. We run a small farm close to the beach, Contrada Musco, where we produce our very own ingredients for the Previtera breakfast. We also enjoy art and crafts. We run a leading international art center at the Palazzo, where international acclaimed artists produce site-specific temporary exhibitions.
