About this property
Villa Immersed In Nature With Private Pool And Outdoor Hot Tub
The Villa lies on a rocky spur over the beautiful so-called "Castello" (THE CASTLE), in a unique and exclusive position. The "Castle" is a residential complex, several storeys high, connected between them by interior steps cut in the walls, with cavities permitting the climbing. The building overlooks the well-known Cava d'Ispica, a long rocky valley (for about 13 Km) with many archaeological treasures and the important species of Mediterranean flora and fauna (it's an SCI area: SITE OF COMMUNITY IMPORTANCE). Little distant from the Villa is the prehistoric Necropolis of Calicantone, dated from the Antique Bronze Age (2200 – 1400 b.C.) that includes almost a hundred of graves dug in the wall rock, some of them placed even inside overhanging rocks; most of the graves’ front drops are decorated with columns, pillars and ledges. You can reach the Necropolis, the Castle and the bottom of the Valley by the stairs close to the house (just 5 metres).

About the host
Hosted by Antonio Pluchino
Why they chose this property
The house, at its origin, residence of the sharecroppers and a part of it, place of storage for the seasonal agricultural produce and also shelter for the facilities and the tools used for the cultivation of the land, is located in an unique position, on a rocky spur, over the famous rupestral construction of the so-called “Castello” (The Castle) of Cava d’Ispica.
The house was built in 1954 by my grandfather and was meant to provide decent life conditions to the countryside peasants which used to live inside the rocky caverns of the so called “Castello” even in the early post second world war period.
In 2007 I decided to renovate the house cause I love this amazing place immersed in nature: no noise, just relax!
