WELCOME 'al Castelluccio'
Private Members Club & Public Events
Our passion lies in preparing our authentic organic products
from the field to the plate within a mile radius. Our cuisine is rarely traditional, rather finds itself in a modern context, which we like to share with our private club members at our grill house or at open events.

Our small farm
al Castelluccio is our small azienda agricola; a farm in Sicily, in an idyllic small town with 8,000 inhabitants in the province of Agrigento with its UNESCO World Heritage "Valley of the Temples".
Somewhat removed from this tourist magnet lies Racalmuto with its Monte Castelluccio, the local mountain to which King Frederick II once set out from Swabia to reign his empire stopping just long enough here to build the Castelluccio, our little fortress.

Private clubs are a relic of the aristocracy of the 18th and 19th centuries. What was once synonymous with the upper class, where the intellectual, political and business elite met, now reflects individuals who combine networking, business, art, libation & good food. As you would expect from an exclusive members' club, all amidst lavish architecture and decoration. Unique events are offered, tailored to the needs of the members and circumstances.
Both the concept and the Private Members Club al Castelluccio are quite new in Sicily. Re-emigration, however, means bringing 'home' what has been experienced in other cultures, and thus living the tradition in its modern form.

Noticeable Symmetry
Whether during an extended barbecue migration, at the salt festival, Monte Castelluccio Games, Contessa's Vendetta, or immersing in times of prohibition - the events al Castelluccio are staged and presented in their naturally impressive ambience of softly rolling hills.
Local features are imaginatively combined with beauty for both eye and stomach. Stimulating senses and celebrating life - that is our premise al Castelluccio.

Remote places are desirable if you want to treat yourself to a break. Being in touch with nature heals the soul and relaxation overcomes the stress of everyday life.
Design-wise supported by symmetry that avoids straight lines and a construction style that draws the eye to dramatic views and frames them spectacularly, you will feel the harmony of Feng Shui everywhere al Castelluccio in your very own Zen state of mind.

Home-grown saffron
Sicily is so beautiful that everyone stopped to leave something: first the Byzantines with their temples, then the Sarascenes with their agricultural customs, irrigation systems and saffron, which has been grown in small family businesses ever since. We at the Staufer Castelluccio complete this circle of migration.
