Hotels Own Introduction
A New Rhythm of Sicily
Just two kilometres from the baroque heart of Noto, Braccialieri emerges among centuries-old olive trees and pale stone landscapes. Here, hospitality is reimagined through a slower, more sensory way of travelling—where nature, tradition, and contemporary design meet.
Nature, Reimagined
Set within unspoilt surroundings, six eco-glamping suites appear almost organically, like natural extensions of the land itself. Designed to blend seamlessly into the olive groves, they offer an immersive connection to Sicily’s raw beauty.
Design with Character
Throughout the estate, past and present intertwine. A standout feature is the iconic red-and-white chequered pool, a playful homage to traditional Sicilian kitchen floors, reinterpreted by designer Alessandro Enriquez with bold, unmistakable flair.
A Taste of Authentic Sicily
At Dodici Zappe, cuisine reflects the soul of the island—where authenticity and care come together in refined simplicity. It is a place where flavours speak honestly, offering a genuine and elegant expression of Sicilian identity.
A Gateway to Discovery
Perfectly positioned, Braccialieri invites exploration. Within minutes, some of Sicily’s most captivating cultural, historical, and natural sites unfold—allowing each stay to become a journey that extends far beyond the estate.
