Cummari Sicily

Founded by a woman, for women, Cummari® is a community-driven, year-round retreat space where solo travelers can feel safe, inspired, and connected.

“Cummari” is a word steeped in ancient feminine tradition. In the Sicilian language, it describes a bond of female friendship that feels more like family.

Cummari allows women to experience Sicily with confidence, creativity, and support every step of the way.

REDEFINING SAFE SPACES FOR WOMEN *

“One of the most interesting projects in Sicily is Cummari.” Lonely Planet

“Where solo female travelers and digital nomads can form friendships and create bonds that extend beyond their time in Sicily.” Italy Segreta

“Cummari provides a sacred space for women who are traveling on their own in Sicily.  I have encountered so many amazing multi-cultural women with one core essence in mind, soul growth and coming together in Sicily as a community of powerful women.”

  • Cummari is an inclusive environment. Historically women have not always been/felt safe when travelling solo and for this reason we prioritize guests who identify as female.​ With that being said, all genders and identities are welcomed and are vital to supporting Cummari's vision and existence.
