Otiarae began with a simple desire: to make room for a more intentional life, shaped by creativity, culture and connection.

In Mussomeli, a traditional house is being transformed into a creative residence — a place for artists, writers and curious people to work, gather and spend time with Sicily beyond the familiar routes.

The vision is intimate: quiet mornings, long walks, local ingredients and conversations that stretch into the evening. Space for solitude, with the possibility of companionship.

The house is being restored. The programme is still taking shape. Friends and invitation-only stays are planned for 2027, followed by a broader opening in 2028.
