Palazzo Castelluccio

Noto, Sicily

Opening Soon · Accepting Inquiries

Overview

The Hotel

A meticulous restoration of an 18th-century baroque palazzo in the heart of Noto's UNESCO World Heritage centre — the finest baroque city in Sicily and possibly in the world — Palazzo Castelluccio is the most intimate property Rocco Forte has ever opened, with just 31 rooms within a building of exceptional architectural distinction. Shimmering blue silk-draped walls, original Caltagirone ceramic floors, trompe l'oeil ceilings, and antique furnishings from the Baroque period create an experience that feels less like a hotel and more like a private Sicilian ducal residence receiving very carefully selected guests. Opening 2026.

Good to Know

Sicily

Noto's honey-gold baroque, Palermo's layered Norman and Arab architecture, the volcanic coastline of Taormina, and the Aeolian Islands — Sicily is the most culturally rich destination in the Mediterranean.
