Mediterranean luxury resort chain operating 16 properties across Sicily and Sardinia
Mangia's operates a portfolio of 16 upscale resorts across Sicily and Sardinia, anchored by legacy properties like Grand Hotel et Des Palmes in Palermo and newer branded entries (Autograph Collection, Curio Collection by Hilton). The tech stack is enterprise-operations-focused—SAP, Opera, Cvent, Power BI—reflecting a business built on cost control and seasonal labor management rather than digital innovation. Active hiring (219 open roles, 91 in the last 30 days) is overwhelmingly operations-heavy, with seasonal staffing and food-cost control flagged as top internal challenges, indicating tight margins and the operational complexity of running resort networks during peak and off-peak cycles.
Notable leadership hires: Head Chef, Head of Maintenance, Sales Director
Mangia's is a privately held Italian luxury hospitality group headquartered in Palermo and part of Aeroviaggi S.p.A. The company operates 16 five-star and luxury five-star resorts across Sicily and Sardinia, including standalone properties and branded partnerships with Hilton and TUI BLUE. Founded in 1973, it serves as the leading Italian hotel chain by property count in the premium segment. The portfolio spans iconic urban hotels (Palermo), coastal resorts (Brucoli, Favignana, Santa Teresa di Gallura), and wellness destinations, with a new flagship opening in summer 2026. Operations are centered on seasonal service delivery, Mediterranean culinary experience, and biophilic design principles.
Mangia's runs on SAP and SAP S/4HANA for enterprise resource planning, Opera for property management, and Cvent for event and venue management. Power BI and Tableau provide reporting and analytics across the resort network.
Mangia's operates 16 properties: 9 in Sicily (Palermo, Brucoli, Trapani, Agrigento, Cefalù, and Egadi islands) and 5 in Sardinia (Santa Teresa di Gallura, Budoni, and Marina di Sorso), plus strategic branded partnerships.
