Description
The clatter of horses' hooves on the white pavement returning from a gallop among the carob trees is the music that kicks off the medieval evening we have organized to inaugurate our new farmhouse. In the courtyard you can smell the crunchy scent of bread, while industrious servants perform concerts with the dishes, you begin to admire the wonder of time gone by at the tables with precious linen tablecloths with wooden plates and pewter mugs, garnished with the fruits of the earth. Torches mark the paths that lead inside and outside the property. While the warm lights of hundreds of candles slowly light up, the herald announces the beginning of the tasting of the delicious banquet. Nobles, servants, musicians and jesters all in splendid medieval clothes move harmoniously like ears of corn in the wind in a starry night of pure magic. The menu is based on products from the company and some trusted local producers. The guests at the banquet are the people who first believed in our adventure and booked in one of the rooms of our B&B. Have we piqued your curiosity? We are in the heart of the picturesque Iblea countryside that stretches from Modica towards Ispica, between rolling hills and a sea that fades into the horizon, stands our farmhouse. Structured in perfect harmony with the surrounding environment, it is the ideal place for a sustainable, zero-impact holiday, an environment of peace and relaxation. The imposing 18th-century building stands out in the surrounding carob grove, once you cross the main arch you enter the internal courtyard. It seems that beyond the arch time has stopped, and in the beautiful white stone pavement there are palm trees, oleanders, prickly pears and other typical plants of the Mediterranean scrub. Many wooden doors overlook this corner of paradise and they are all worth visiting and admiring. In ancient times they must have been stables, stables, the homes of the farmers, while the landowner lived in the most luxurious residence on two levels. In the farmhouse five rooms have already been created, each with comfort and specific characteristics. From the most traditional with two beds and overlooking the internal courtyard or the surrounding land, to the larger ones with a sitting room and balcony. In the rooms the Sicilian tradition has been recovered with period furniture and furnishings but the modern comfort of the bathroom and air conditioning. From the main house a picturesque external staircase rises between the white stones that leads to a terrace whose view extends over the surrounding countryside, offering enchanting panoramas of green fields, olive groves and the sea that stands out in the distance. Outside a cultivated land of over 81,000 square meters and a synergic vegetable garden. There are further buildings that are part of the estate, a stable and a shed currently used for recreational activities of the farm. The property is located a few minutes from the golden sandy beaches and the center of Pozzallo. The latter has transformed from a seaside village in a few decades into a large commercial, seaside and tourist center, thanks also to the commercial and tourist activities of the port. It is not just a tourist town, for this reason all the necessary services, commercial and recreational activities are present. During the summer it becomes even more populated because one of the most active tourist and seaside destinations on the coast, the seafront and the historic center come alive with many clubs and outdoor attractions. From here, a few kilometers away, the interesting historic centers of the Val di Noto such as Ragusa Ibla, Scicli, Modica and Noto, declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, rich in art, culture and food and wine tradition. What are you waiting for, pack your suitcase and don't miss a visit to this property and don't preclude the possibility of a new life.
