Nature and surroundings
The house is in its original context: the courtyard of the small hamlet houses the well with the cistern, dug into the rocks, where rainwater was collected, and has behind it a threshing floor, carved from a single slab of limestone, where threshing with mules was once done. Ideal for a vacation in the magnificent Hyblaean countryside, especially in spring, it is strategically located for visiting the Baroque cities. It is situated on a plateau, facing Ragusa Ibla, beyond the Irminio River, offering a panorama of land, terraced with dry stone walls, planted with wheat, olive, carob and almond trees and populated by grazing cows. From the farmyard, but also from the house's spacious terraces, there is a view of fields that are incredibly green in spring and very sunny in summer. It is the realm of the realm of silence and quiet, of the scents of the countryside, where it is pleasant to spend evenings even if only looking at the sky full of stars. It has a dry and breezy climate, pleasant even in summer
