About this property

In the heart of the Baroque region, a traditional home with a hot tub and views of the Hyblian countryside

A typical 19th-century country house, with thick stone walls and wooden beams, recently renovated with modern amenities. The property consists of a main house and an annex.
The main house has 7/8 beds (1 double bed and 1 120 cm bed on the first floor, and 4 single beds on the mezzanine), 2 bathrooms, and a large living room with a kitchen.
The annex, with its own entrance off the courtyard, overlooks the panoramic terrace, just like the main house. It has 2 beds—in a comfortable double sofa bed—a bathroom with a shower, and a fully equipped kitchenette (photos 21, 22, and 23). The annex is available when the number of guests exceeds 8.
The garden features a lawn with aromatic herbs and a hot tub, offering a panoramic view of the Iblean countryside.
The house is situated in its original setting: the courtyard of the small village features a well with a reservoir, carved into the rock, where rainwater was collected, and has a threshing floor behind it, made from a single slab of limestone, where grain was once threshed using mules.
Ideal for a vacation in the beautiful Iblean countryside, especially in the spring, it is strategically located for visiting the Baroque towns.
It is situated on a plateau, opposite Ragusa Ibla, beyond the Irminio River, offering a panoramic view of terraced fields with dry-stone walls, planted with wheat, olive trees, carob trees, and almond trees, and dotted with grazing cows.
Easter is highly recommended, as the area comes alive with religious festivals where folklore blends with the devotion of the faithful.
From the yard, as well as from the house’s large terraces, you can enjoy the view of the incredibly green fields in the spring and the very sunny landscapes in the summer.
It is a realm of silence and tranquility, of the scents of the countryside, where it is pleasant to spend the evenings simply gazing at the star-filled sky.
It has a dry and windy climate, pleasant even during hot summers.
It seems even more pleasant when you return from a day at the beach: beautiful public beaches are easily accessible both on the southern side (Marina di Modica, Sampieri, Pozzallo) and to the east (Vendicari, Marzamemi, San Lorenzo Nature Reserve)

A special place

Balata, a bunch of silent, spotless country houses, provides you with a quiet peaceful environment. From the charming terrace, where olive trees seem to touch the house, the Etna volcan can been seen in the distance. Enza and Annalisa were generous,hearty host, always ready to answer any question and to meet all possible need. I enjoyed my staying very much and hope to be able to come back to such a special place where time has a different motion. Fernanda

Ein Juwel inmitten traumhafter Landschaft

Annalisas Unterkunft ist ein absoluter Geheimtipp für alle, die es angenehm ruhig, komfortabel und außergewöhnlich mögen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl und gut betreut gefühlt; der Pool und das Drumherum waren ebenso wunderbar. Vielen Dank für die unvergessliche Zeit in Deinem Haus, Annalisa!

inoubliable

Très belle maison avec beaucoup de charme: rénovée avec goût, elle allie confort et cachet de l'ancien. La terrasse est très agréable avec son jacusi qui permet de se rafraichir au retour d'excursion.Situation idéale pour visiter la Sicile baroque (Ragusa, Noto, Modica..), Syracuse , les réserves naturelles (Pantalica, Vindicari) et la mer n'est jamais loin. Documentation très complète fournie par les propriétaires qui nous ont réservé un très bon accueil. Nous avons passé un séjour inoubliable et nous recommandons vivement cette maison où nous espérons avoir l'occasion de séjourner à nouveau!

Una vacanza piacevole in ...

Una vacanza piacevole in un posto magico a una decina di chilometri da Ragusa Ibla e con un’accoglienza calorosa . Le due case, confinanti all’interno di un baglio antico e silenzioso, sono comode e spaziose, piacevolmente arredate e ben attrezzate: bellissima la stufa in ghisa che a fine Maggio ci ha confortato in una sera insolitamente fresca. All’esterno il terrazzo spazioso permette di mangiare all’ombra di un vecchio ulivo oppure di prendere il sole oppure semplicemente di contemplare l’infinito della campagna con il susseguirsi dei poderi segnati dai caratteristici muretti a secco. Dalla casa abbiamo potuto raggiungere facilmente decine di mete di interesse paesaggistico o artistico: le indicazioni e i suggerimenti di Enza e Annalisa sono stati preziosi come pure la ricca e approfondita documentazione turistica che ci hanno messo a disposizione. Percorrendo poche decine di chilometri abbiamo potuto gustare, fra gli altri, luoghi come le cave di Ispica, le cittadine Modica e Scicli con le loro bellezze barocche, le rovine greche e i palazzi Liberty di Palazzolo Acreide , la spiaggia di sabbia finissima di Pozzallo, i pantani Longarini con la loro interessante fauna . Decisamente preziose anche le indicazioni di ristoranti e di particolarità gastronomiche da gustare in zona (e con un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo !) Raccomandiamo senz’altro questa casa e raccomandiamo anche il periodo (fine Maggio) che permette contemporaneamente di vagabondare fra mete artistiche, di gustare il mare e il sole e soprattutto di godere della bellezza della campagna circostante che in questo ultimo scorcio di primavera presenta un magnifico aspetto vellutato in tutta la gamma dei gialli: dal giallo-verde del grano ancora immaturo al giallo biondo dei covoni di fieno già raccolto. Da tornarci.

"A very comfortable and enjoyable holiday. The property was had charm and a good aspect. It is situated in a rural location and is quiet and peaceful. It was well furnished and the owners were very welcoming and keen to ensure our needs were met. We were very grateful for advice on the best places to eat and places to visit. We made use of the large selection of literature on local interests that were available in the house. We very much appreciated the the communication with the owners before the holiday ensuring we had directions and even though we arrived late in the day they provided a warm welcome. The property is about 15 minutes by car from Ragusa Ibla where there is a very good selection of restaurants and places to eat. Highly recommended."

Annalisa y su Hermana Enza son encantadoras. Les agradecemos desde aquí su mermelada de cerezas. Exquisita! Para terminar, todos extrañamos a Boris y a los gatitas."
