Simona chef & owner
Simona, chef and owner of i Carusi
I Carusi was born from a philosophy of life an exclusive boutique hotel in Val di Noto
Inspired by her grandfather's passion for farming, Simona Privitera, chef and owner of i Carusi, decided to combine her love of nature, passion for organics and a philosophy of life focused on well-being of body and mind, into a top-notch hospitality project.
Thus was born the boutique hotel in Val di Noto, i Carusi, a real well-being retreat, close to the baroque town, where the key word is “well-being”.
This tangible, authentic concept is present in many aspects of the vacation awaiting you here, in the heart of the Sicilian countryside: from the salt-water, low-chlorine pool, to the yoga classes, from the organic produce which can be bought on site or from the on-line shop, to the restaurant cooking.
In her cooking, Simona blends the tastes and smells of organic raw materials, which she herself grows on site, in the fields around the estate. The recipes respect and highlight the quality ingredients, and tell a story: Simona’s own, about her philosophy of life, now a business project in the heart of her own land, Sicily. Hence come the various menu offerings, to satisfy all tastes, designed solely to enhance your well-being.
