Dana Childers & Liz Goldman, for a one-of-a-kind, wonder-and-growth filled week at Masseria Cardinale, an artist retreat set in a beautifully restored 19th century farmhouse in the Val di Noto region of Sicily, Italy. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the towns of Val di Noto are described as “representing the culmination and final flowering of Baroque art in Europe.” The southeastern countryside is famous for its architectural and artistic integrity, baroque towns, fields of olive, carob & almond trees and sumptuous seasonal food and wine. This charming and unique land is a magical backdrop for a retreat centered around creativity, renewal and joy.

About our Location
Masseria Cardinale is set in the millennial Monte Iblei, the mountain range located between the Ancient Greek town of Palazzolo Acreide and the gorgeous baroque town of Noto. The Masseria itself is enchanting in its authenticity and elegance, generously proportioned, warmly welcoming, and immersed in glorious countryside. It is infused with ancient Sicilian DNA and yet is very much a home for today. Myriad original features - not least the warm honey-hued local stone - firmly root the property in its Sicilian history, while a careful restoration has brought along modern comforts. The Masseria offers an embarrassment of riches when it comes to al fresco experiences, and is also set close to several magical baroque towns, hiking trails, and some of the finest sandy beaches in Sicily.
