What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Located right on the beach in the southernmost part of Sicily, the sandy-colored stone building doesn’t look like much from a distance: that’s because the building was a simple farmhouse for most of its existence.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Farmland and rocky pastures slope down to the Mediterranean, with the beaches of Marina di Ragusa just below.

The rooms
Apartments occupy the former stables and barn, keeping vaulted limestone ceilings and views down across the water.
The infinity pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated infinity pool sits on a stone terrace among palms and succulents, looking across farmland toward the sea.
At the table
Breakfast brings homemade cakes and local produce to the timber-raftered lounge, where tables sit beside a central fireplace.
How it began
