Home description

The Main villa - the “house to read” - has been entirely restored though maintaining intact its original charm and structure. The interior decoration is sober, elegant and strongly contemporary, the chosen colours are white and dasmon.
The furnishings have been designed with the aim of creating a place that revolves around books: in one room the bed to ”browse trough” will allow you to choose the verses to fall asleep with…, the ceiling of another room still is embellished with artists’ books while another room reveals its own intrinsic poetry through several windows opening onto the beautiful surroundings.
The bathroom are functional and one of them amuses for its peculiarità.

Adjacent to the house to read, is the dependence - the “house to write”; built in the fifties and recently restored, it has been designed to give its guest the opportunity to express their creativity.
One room has got a blackboard-wall where it is possible to write, draw and erase; the other one will open as a white page to the freedom of expression of the guests.
Trough the guests imagination and creativity the house could become an artistic place.

N.B. From March 2008, The Poets' Corner will be enriched with a beautiful private swimming pool!

The Sicily region

Welcome to Sicily, Mediterranean island of the south: hot, dry, wracked by earthquake and eruption; where Europe is no longer entirely Europe. Gothe recognised that in Sicily, where the axes of Mediterranean power and culture converge to create half-glimpsed and half-imagined treasures and tragedies, ‘beautiful things gleam in the dust’.
Nearly 25 centuries of foreign domination have left a legacy of splendid civilisations, crystallised and concentrated – from the coolly classic architecture of Hellenistic Greece to the startling fusion of Arab artisanship and Norman austerity; from the pomp and extravagance of Spanish baroque to the Byzantine art and culture.
Sicily’s complex culture is matched only by its stunning natural beauty and the incredible diversity of landscape: rolling hills and valleys swathed in grapevines, brooding Etna with its steep volcanic escarpments, 1000km of aquamarine coastline and a necklace of encircling islands.


Enna / Pergusa area

This unique villa is situated in an extraordinary context for those who want to experience Sicily from a cultural point of view. Located in the middle of the huge granary of the Roman Empire at few kilometres from the Umbilicus siciliane (Enna – Sicilian navel) is the perfect spot to realize what this Sicily “without sea” has to offer.
Visit the lovely Lake of Pergusa and the zones of extensive cultivation of cereals ceded to afforestation areas. In the surroundings of Piazza Armerina the landscape resembles the typical one of the Apennine Mountains.
This territory boasts ruins of ancient roman and Greek art: the ruins of Morgantina and the Villa Romana del Casale.
