lost in sicily
We are in the heart of the Syracusan countryside
Our farm is nestled in the heart of the Syracusan countryside. Lemon and olive trees stretch across this rural area of southeastern Sicily, but they are only part of its beauty. Within just a few kilometres, you can easily reach three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Syracuse, Noto, and Pantalica.
Continuing south, you reach the island of Ortigia, which is connected to the mainland by two bridges. At the heart of the island stands the Duomo, an impressive Baroque cathedral built on the remains of the ancient Greek Temple of Athena.
Strolling through the narrow streets of Ortigia, visiting the Fountain of Arethusa, or admiring Maniace Castle is the best way to immerse yourself in the spirit of the city.
Ortigia, the soul of Syracuse
Syracuse, described by Cicero as “the greatest Greek city and the most beautiful of them all,” is a blend of Greek, Roman, and Baroque styles, offering a unique testimony to the development of Mediterranean civilisation over the last three millennia.
It is home to the Archaeological Park of Neapolis, which includes the Greek Theatre, the Roman Amphitheatre, and the Ear of Dionysius, a famous artificial cave that amplifies sounds up to sixteen times.
Syracuse, the city of Mediterranean civilizations
Noto, capital of the Baroque
A few kilometres further south is Noto, considered the capital of the Baroque. Passing through the Royal Gate, you reach Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the heart of the historic centre.
Here you can visit the Church of Santa Chiara with its panoramic terrace, the Basilica of San Nicolò, and Palazzo Nicolaci, the centrepiece of the Infiorata, when the street is covered with colourful petals to celebrate spring.
Pantalica, nature and thousand-year history
For nature lovers, we recommend the Pantalica necropolis, a nature reserve and an extraordinary example of rock funerary architecture. A unique landscape, where canyons and sheer rocks hold over five thousand ancient tombs and streams that create natural pools of rare beauty.
An experience between taste and tradition
You can’t end a vacation in Sicily without trying its food and wine specialties. We invite you to visit our company and let yourself be won over by our “Favola”, the extra virgin olive oil of our production, an incomparable element of the Mediterranean diet. Come and live an experience marked by quality, taste and authentic Sicilian hospitality.
