About Cummari

  • Founded by an international executive who retired her suitcase, Miche set out to create what she felt the world lacked—something truly made for solo female travelers. Read More.

  • Cummari is an inclusive environment. Historically women have not always been/felt safe when travelling solo and for this reason we prioritize guests who identify as female.​ With that being said, all genders and identities are welcomed and are vital to supporting Cummari's vision and existence. Learn more.

  • Michelle specializes in group retreat planning in Sicily, feminine anthropology, entrepreneurial mentorship, and business management consulting. Email miche@cummari.com. Michelle’s LinkedIn.

  • We will begin to host female muralists from July 2025 at Cummari. Email miche@cummari.com to full details on how to apply.

When we create safe spaces for women to live their truth, roots take hold. From safety blooms connection and community. In community we find belonging - and in belonging we begin to thrive. ~ Cummari
