Endless summer energy and company that lingers long after the plates are cleared—this is the spirit of Casa Lawa, the sun-drenched residency and kitchen set on the slopes of Mt. Etna in Sicily. Following our Casa Lawa takeover at The Moore for NYCxDESIGN, we’re taking the show on the road.
We’re bringing the Casa Lawa experience to a selection of our member hotels worldwide through our first-ever retreat series. In these one-of-a-kind gatherings, we’ll feel the magic that happens when food, place, and people collide.
Fittingly, the series will kick off across the Ionian Sea at Palazzo Daniele, our stunning, art-filled former palace in Puglia. Through lively dinners, hands-on cheesemaking and Pasta al Pomodoro masterclasses, visits to Puglian producers, and aperitivo in the sun, we’ll celebrate the ingredients, traditions, and makers that define the destination, all through the Casa Lawa lens.
