A Sicilian Experience...
A stylish accommodation in Sicily for female travellers, creatives, and digital nomads to thrive.
Created by a Sicilian architect and a 15 year international correspondent (digital nomad) team. After working around the world, we are now focused on creating holistic design concepts in Sicily.
Learn about the "Cummari Concept" below.


The Cummari Concept
There is no other place in the world comparable to living in Catania - a city built 9,000+ years ago by the Greek Empire, at the base of Mount Etna (Europe's most active and largest volcano). It is where water, fire, air and earth all converge here at the heart of the Mediterranean. For anyone seeking inspiration, it is easy to find, here in Sicily.
Cummari is a home away from home, where explorers can find inspiration and thrive in community. It is a place for solo female travellers to feed their cultural passions, businesses, adventures, or simply to rest in good company.
Cummari is unlike any other accommodation in Europe. It is a house that has been curated to include the comforts and design of a boutique hotel while still retaining the original sensations of a historic Sicilian home.
Cummari is an inclusive environment. All genders and identities are welcomed and are vital to supporting Cummari's vision and existence. Historically women have not always been/felt safe when travelling solo and for this reason we prioritize guests who identify as female.
We ask those staying with us to respect our ethos, to help us create a welcome and safe place for all, regardless of ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, race, religion, abilities or gender.
*Please note that the exact address of Cummari will be shared upon booking to keep our high safety standards. Cummari is a house for persons above 18 years of age.
