General information

Commenda di San Calogero is a historic residence set in the countryside of eastern Sicily, strategically located between Catania and Syracuse. Surrounded by more than one hundred hectares of private land, the estate offers an authentic and evocative setting, where rural architecture, gardens, and landscape become an integral part of every event. The property features approximately twelve areas, including both indoor and outdoor spaces, three independent entrances, and dedicated service areas for vendors, allowing for fully customized event planning. The spaces can host intimate celebrations as well as large-scale events, with indoor lounges accommodating up to 250 seated guests and expansive outdoor areas with no capacity limits. Commenda offers an in-house kitchen with menus inspired by Sicilian tradition and fully customizable options, while also providing complete flexibility in the choice of external catering services. The team supports guests throughout every stage of the planning process, from budget definition and vendor selection to event design and logistical coordination. The residence also provides 12 on-site rooms for overnight stays, along with additional accommodations within the estate (Cottages and Agriturismo), making it possible to transform any event into a multi-day experience — from a weekend to an entire week — in an exclusive and private setting.

Our philosophy

At Commenda di San Calogero, we believe that an event is not merely a celebration, but an experience to be lived with depth and authenticity.
Our philosophy is built on three core principles: time, space, and connection.
We value time by offering the opportunity to experience the residence not just for a few hours, but through journeys lasting one or more days, where the event becomes part of a broader narrative shaped by conviviality, relaxation, and discovery of the surrounding territory.
We honor space by designing each celebration in dialogue with the historic architecture and the surrounding landscape. Every area of the estate is conceived to harmoniously integrate with the aesthetic and narrative choices of our guests, creating settings that are elegant yet authentic.
We place relationships at the center of our approach, guiding our clients with attentive and discreet consultation so that every decision is thoughtful and aligned with their vision. We believe personalization is a form of respect: no two events are alike, because every story deserves its own identity.
Commenda di San Calogero was created to welcome, preserve, and transform meaningful moments into timeless memories, in full harmony with the soul of Sicily.

We had a completely magical experience from start to finish. The attention to detail that Ludovica, Monica and their wonderful team provide is absolutely in a class of it’s own. The day was everything we had dreamed of and then even more and we were looked after on every level at every turn. we are trying to think of our next celebratory event that we can return for. All our loved ones and friends were bowled over.

Simply perfect in every way: our wedding venue. Our wedding at the Commenda di San Calogero was simply perfect, and this was not only thanks to the dream venue, but also to the whole team who supported us from start to finish. A special thank you goes to Ludovica, who guided us through all the ups and downs of the preparations. With her patience, professionalism and warmth, she was always there for us and provided immense support with her expertise. She always found the right solutions and ensured we could relax and enjoy our big day.

Yes. La Commenda di San Calogero is a registered municipal venue, therefore it is possible to celebrate an official civil ceremony, in addition to a symbolic one, upon request to the Municipality of Augusta using the documentation provided by the venue. This authorization is subject to annual renewal.

In the event of rain, our lounges and the area beneath the former manger area with its arches may be used as valid alternatives. The lounges can accommodate up to 250 guests seated at tables.
If the event includes multiple distinct moments that require separate set-ups, it will be essential to have detailed information regarding needs and guest numbers in order to assess the possible addition of a temporary structure in the designated areas.

There are no limitations on the choice of external suppliers. Upon request, we can share a list of recommended professionals (catering, audio and lighting services, bands, photographers, wedding planners, beauty services, entertainment, transfers, rentals, etc.), selected among those who are already familiar with the property and its operating procedures.

In addition to accommodation, we can take care of catering services, lighting installation and the sharing of contacts for suppliers and nearby accommodation facilities, to facilitate the organization of the event.

Yes. Within the property, approximately 800 meters from La Commenda di San Calogero, there are two accommodation options: Casa Zigolo, a cottage available for weekly stays, and three apartments with a minimum stay of two nights.
