About Alivu Estate

Where the Sea Meets the Stars

Perched on the sunlit hills of northern Sicily, Alivu Estate is a centuries-old olive grove overlooking the cobalt Mediterranean. Just outside Cefalù, a UNESCO World Heritage seaside town, the landscape unfolds in natural terraces, ancient olive trees, and weathered stone—where sea and sky meet in quiet harmony.

Once a working grove tended by generations, Alivu is being thoughtfully reimagined as a destination for weddings, gatherings, and creative retreats. Its name, Alivu, meaning olive tree in Sicilian dialect, honors the land’s deep roots and enduring spirit.

A Place for Connection

Available as a scenic private property rental, every corner of the grounds invites intimacy and reflection, open-air spaces framed by olive and fruit trees, panoramic views of the Madonie mountains, and a sense of timeless calm. Whether an elegant wedding, rustic event or a private retreat immersed in nature, Alivu Estate offers privacy, beauty, and an authentic connection to Sicily’s landscape and culture.

Rooted in Heritage, Designed for the Future

Guided by respect for the land, Alivu embraces organic cultivation and sustainable design. Future plans include restoring historic stone structures, such as the original molazza (as pictured) used with mules for olive pressing, introducing on-site accommodations, and producing small-batch olive oil, all crafted with reverence for tradition and place.

A New Chapter in Sicily

Alivu Estate is more than a venue—it’s a story of renewal. A place where heritage and modern vision meet, and where every celebration becomes part of something timeless.

With convenient proximity to Cefalù and easy access to Palermo airport (PMO), Alivu Estate offers the perfect canvas for whatever you can imagine.
