AN ANCIENT SICILIAN MANOR HOUSE NESTLED AMONGST LEMON GROVES AND FAMILY MEMORIES
Where stone tells a story
Casa Vendicari is not just a hotel; it is a story that continues. Once the farmstead of the historic Boscarino family, the baglio has for decades been the setting for harvests, family summers, distinguished guests and intimate moments. Today, transformed into a refined retreat for discerning travellers, it retains its original spirit intact. The architectural structure is that of a classic Sicilian baglio, with the central courtyard that once hosted farm and family life now forming the heart of the guest experience, amidst rooms carefully renovated using local materials

Every detail – from the local stone that adorns the walls to the light that dances across the terraces – is designed to welcome guests with elegance without disturbing the essence of the place.
The result is an intimate, refined hospitality that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
THE BAGLIO POOL: DESIGNED TO BE USED AS A SWIMMING POOL
A refreshing taste of Sicilian simplicity
The ancient irrigation basin, once the heart of agricultural activity, has now been transformed – without altering its essence – into a place of refreshment “like a swimming pool”. An invitation to relax, a gentle immersion in water and silence, amidst the reflections of the sky and the scent of orange blossom. This space embodies the perfect balance between functionality, authenticity and beauty.
JUST A FEW METRES FROM THE SEA OF VENDICARI
Unspoilt nature and a sense of freedom
What makes Casa Vendicari even more special is its location: it is the only accommodation within the Vendicari Nature Reserve. The most beautiful beaches on the Ionian coast, framed by marshes, dunes and ancient stone buildings, are within easy walking distance. Here, where nature sets the pace of the day, you can enjoy a profound experience of connection and renewal.
Casa Vendicari is the perfect starting point for anyone dreaming of a holiday in Sicily that blends nature, culture, comfort and history.
