Casa Miràbile

A family-run relais on the coast of Menfi, western Sicily: you sleep among olive trees, eat what the land gives, and look at the work of the people painting Sicily today.

The relais

A family house, not a hotel

Casa Miràbile is the estate of Lillo and Fabiola: eleven rooms in an eighteenth-century farmhouse, an osteria that cooks the garden and the sea, the estate's own wines and oil, and a gallery showing Sicilian artists all year round.

People come to rest, to eat well, to look at a painting. They end up at the table with the family who run the place.
