An ancestral countryside, an ancient hamlet that sits, like a terrace, above the most authentic Sicily, contact with the earth, the air, and with vineyards that produce real wine you can taste on the spot. All of these things areChaza.
HOSPITALITY
From Arianna Occhipinti’s world to yours: wine, local territory, agriculture, and Sicily combine to create a new idea of Hospitality, a complete immersion in an archaic, rural, real, and beautiful world. Arianna’s houses are called Chazas, or squares, facing the Iblei, a few steps away from Chiaramonte Gufi. Chazas are a place for company and exchange, an open space projecting outwards that creates a crossroads of ideas and connections.
The materials tie to the land’s storytelling, with the Iblei’s white stone making up the base of the structure. A house designed with the most modern architectural criteria allowing for a comfortable residence immersed in the truth of the countryside.

TASTINGS
The experience of staying at the Chaza isn’t complete without a tasting of Arianna’s wine. This is her philosophy: ‘’the wine I like making isn’t just organic wine. It’s a wine with a coherent creation, natural in how it comes to be. A wine that, in its harmonies and ruggedness, tells a story about the land it was born in and the people who made it. This is why I’m convinced that natural wine, other than being good wine, is also a human wine’’.
