Fodor's Expert Review Zash Country Boutique Hotel

Strada Provinciale 2/I-II 60, Sicily, 95018, Italy Fodor's Choice

Breathe in the scent of orange blossoms as you arrive at this modern boutique hotel set among 32 acres of gardens and citrus orchards just five minutes from the sea by car. The manor house, which houses a historic palmento, was built in 1800; separate cottages were subsequently added for guest rooms. Designed by Iraci Architetti, one of Italy's preeminent architecture firms, the modern accommodations incorporate clean lines, lots of white, lava stone, and a copious amount of glass to open the space to the property's most valued asset: its natural surroundings. Zash offers a modern style without sacrificing a sense of place.
