SICILY











RAGUSA: Corte Iblea - Casa del'Ibiscus
Sleeps 5
Ragusa is placed in the south-eastern side of Sicily, nearly 100 Km away from Catania. Land full of art and sun. The youngest of the Sicilian provinces and boasts the largest number of sites acknowledged as heritage of mankind by UNESCO…baroque art, uncontaminated nature, archaeological areas, traditions and unique flavours represent an historical and cultural reference of the utmost interest.
Situated along a spur in the rock between two deep gorges, Ragusa is a city with two souls: Ragusa Superiore characterized by its modern aspect and Ibla, the most ancient core where sculptors and artists mixed with unexpected harmony -baroque masterpieces into the classical medieval plant originating a urban landscape unique all around the world.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY
The Corte Iblea estate, dating from the last century, is situated in the middle of an 18-hectare nature park, surrounded by olive groves and ancient trees and framed by typical low stone walls lining the paths.
Three country houses of the estate have been converted into seven elegant and comfortable apartments, all individually decorated with tasteful furnishings and fittings. Each apartment has its own separate terrace. All guests in the apartments can also use the original swimming pool surrounded by a large sun terrace in the beautiful garden (all taken care of by a discreet janitor and gardener who lives on site).
Corte Iblea is at the heart of the province of Ragusa, listed as UNESCO cultural heritage. It is an excellent starting point for exploring the baroque towns of Scicli, Modica, Noto and Ragusa-Ibla or the rural jewels of Cava d'Ispica, Oasi di Vendicari and Kamarina.
