Overview

About Donna Coraly Country Boutique

Donna Coraly is a 14th-century fortified farmhouse transformed into a MICHELIN Key country boutique hotel, set between Syracuse and the Baroque splendour of Val di Noto in southeastern Sicily. The estate extends across more than 6,000 square metres of botanical parkland — the ancient Baglio courtyard, a Bio Park, Bio Pond, Conservatory, and an avenue of ancient olive trees creating distinct spaces for different moments of a celebration. Ten unique suites with private gardens, a heated saltwater bio pool, and The Orangerie reception hall (160 guests indoor) complement outdoor space for up to 280. Licensed for civil unions since 2025, this is one of Sicily's most distinctive wedding venues.
