The ancient farmhouse dates back to exactly 1867 and still today retains the original characteristics typical of the rural farms of the time. From the main body to the surrounding stone structures, all the rooms recall the places of work and life of Sicilian peasant families of the past. In fact, surrounding the villa there are stables, warehouses, the farmer's house, the staff quarters and even the internal chapel.
The property is entirely surrounded by walls, most of which are drystone, and is accessed via a single entrance.
A large door opens onto a typical farmhouse with original stone paving stones where there are other typical workplaces and a small tree-lined garden. The residential area develops on the first floor and is accessed via an elegant staircase. All rooms are characterized by fine floors, some in pitch stone, vaulted ceilings and decorated coverings. Throughout the noble floor we find large reception rooms, bedrooms with private bathrooms, kitchen with adjoining dining room. Part of the house overlooks the baglio, one part overlooks the main courtyard and another overlooks a terrace of approximately 80m2 with a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside.
The farm, after an important restoration project, lends itself to becoming either a beautiful country manor house or an important accommodation facility. In both cases, what makes it interesting is above all its position.
The property is in fact located just 15km from Marina di Ragusa, as well as just 20km from the other beaches of the Ragusa coast including Donnalucata, Sampieri and Punta Secca. Just 10km away we also find the historic center of Ragusa, as well as Ragusa Ibla, Modica and Scicli, all UNESCO heritage sites of Val Di Noto. Finally, about 35km away is the motorway junction which allows us to quickly reach the cities of Syracuse, Noto and Catania and therefore the Fontanarossa Airport.
