It offers the peculiar values of Sicilian hospitality providing high quality services, such as: fine furniture, modern art details and precious materials. Everything is conceived and designed in order to make your stay unforgettable. The courtyards are made of lava stones and river pebbles pavers; stones from the old mansion are left exposed in several areas for everyone to see; the well-stocked wine cellar and the swimming pool surrounded by secular olive trees will give you a glimpse into the Sicilian's smells and flavours.

Scents of the Mediterranean punctuate the backdrop as you wind your way through leafy lawns to your lodge. With just a handful of rooms dotted among lush greenery, it is the perfect starting point to explore eastern Sicily and the Ionian Coast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Small Luxury Hotels – withIN always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT, ask for rooms on your dates, then review the rate and complete checkout on a secure Rialto page.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $50-100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.
