Dimora delle Balze is an estate dating from the 1800s on the Iblei plateau in south-east Sicily, between Noto and Syracuse. Weddings use its central courtyard, gardens and lounge, with menus from the organic Lumìa restaurant. The venue welcomes up to 250 wedding guests, with accommodation for 22 people so part of your group can stay on site.

The story

Courtyard, citrus and organic fields in the Val di Noto

The estate sits in a wide valley of 27 hectares, most of it farmed organically, a few kilometres from Palazzolo Acreide and the Unesco towns of the Val di Noto. An old gate opens onto a garden with fragments of the former building and a pergola held up by restored classical columns, looking over the valley. Carob trees, citrus groves and aromatic plants surround it.

Weddings are planned around three settings: the central courtyard, the gardens and the lounge area. The team works with you on the whole programme, from small ceremonies to larger receptions, and the food comes from Lumìa, the estate restaurant. Its chef, Gabriele Camiolo, cooks with vegetables, herbs and fruit from the Passo Ladro fields, and the menu leans towards the land more than the sea.
