Hotel consulting in Sicily
Sicily draws more and more international travellers, for its culture, food and landscape. If you have a hotel or a project on the island, we work on how to grow it without losing what makes it Sicilian.
What Sicily asks of a hotel.
Palazzi, masserie and estates offer many conversion opportunities. Guests come for Etna wine, the food and the art cities, and expect a service to match.
Palazzi and estates
Many historic buildings can become hotels, with constraints and costs to assess first.
Wine and food
Wineries and dining bring guests outside the beach season too.
Art cities and sea
Palermo, Syracuse, Taormina: different guests for different places.
The service
Growing demand needs a team trained to international standards.
How we work in Sicily.
Three ways to work with us, from Milan and on site when it's needed. The price is written down before we start.
Profit Performance
For a hotel that is already open: the distance between what it produces today and what it could produce. It starts with the first free analysis; the diagnostic starts from €1,500.
Staff training
One person at a time, at the property during service or online, on the situations of their own shift. From €275 per person.
Feasibility studies
For a project that doesn't exist yet: whether it earns, and on what conditions, before the money is spent. From the €499 market assessment to the full study.
Before we start.

How do you follow a hotel or a project in Sicily from Milan?
The work is led from Milan, with online sessions on fixed dates and written deliverables. We travel for the steps where being there changes the result: a site visit, a meeting with the owners, a negotiation with an operator. We reply within one business day.
Where do we start?
With the first free analysis: an hour online with a senior consultant, on what you need to decide. If the hotel is open, we look at where it is losing revenue; if the project is still to be built, at which level of study is enough to answer.
Do you work in a hotel in Sicily?
The masterclasses are filmed inside working luxury hotels and taught by the people who run each department. Career Mentoring helps you work out what separates you from your next role, in another country too.
