Company information

Hospitality is at the heart of what we do at Previtera since 1880 when the family started three boarding schools scattered around Sicily as well as setting up institutes for the education of women and children. We believe in protecting our nature and sharing with our guests. We work according to the principle of food sustainability and local produces. We run a small farm close to the beach, Contrada Musco, where we produce our very own ingredients for the Previtera breakfast. We also enjoy art and crafts. We run a leading international art center at the Palazzo, where international acclaimed artists produce site-specific temporary exhibitions.
