Our idea of comfort

Críu Boutique Hotel is the ideal place if you are looking for an exclusive but also familiar environment, where you can get in touch with traditions, flavours and scents of Sicily. It is a structure designed on a human scale, minimal and cared for in every detail, comfortable, where those who stay there can feel at home. In fact, it is our pleasure to personally entertain our guests, welcome them and, if they wish, guide them to discover our Sicily, an island that we deeply love and that we love to share with those who come to visit us.
Críu Boutique Hotel was born from a strong bond with the territory and with the local traditions interpreted in a personal and original way, a design hotel where the furniture smells of the Mediterranean and the breakfast is particularly accurate, prepared with healthy ingredients of our territory.

THE CREW

Críu is a dream come true. We are Giorgia and Salvo, a couple of planners and designers, we love to travel and learn. We are endlessly curious and never tired of creating and designing.
With Críu we wanted to create a minimal, well-kept, refined and delicate place, which was above all a HOME. A space where architecture, design and genuine Sicilian cuisine meet, surrounded by the natural wonders of the area where it is located: the slopes of Mount Etna.
Críu is what we would like to find in every trip we take. It is the house that we would like to become the reference point for travellers who prefer a relationship with nature and are environmentally aware, who are demanding but at the same time love simplicity.

CRÍU

The crìu is the ancient Sicilian sieve used for flour or other grainy compounds such as breadcrumbs. It is traditionally made with a wooden band and a wire mesh or horsehair bottom.
Crìu is connected to scorzonera flour, a rare ancient Sicilian grain, represented by a dark green ear. It is connected to various moments of Sicilian cuisine, which is enhanced and exalted by us. Finally, its pronunciation is reminiscent of the English word "crew", meaning team, and at Crìu Boutique Hotel, besides being a family, we are a group, committed to a common passion.

Our philosophy: architecture and territory

The interior design choices made atCríu Boutique Hotel reflect the continuous research that underpins our way of designing:
"Promoter of an architecture that integrates with the territory on which it operates, and that is first and foremost a vehicle for social regeneration. Aware of the importance that architectural study has on the quality of life, we operate with the aim of triggering a domino effect that leads to a qualitative development of the territory on a large scale".
In fact, we always try to use local and natural materials. Contact with architecture is an experience and the materiality of what composes it, is essential.
