Description:
The farmhouse “Masseria sul Mare” is not far from the “Marchesa” beach, famous for its beautifully profiled golden sandy shore.
Its position between Syracuse and Noto, in the nature reserve of the river “Cassibile”, which flows down from the “Iblei” mountains, through the protected archeological zone and into the sea, makes it particularly attractive.
Also within short driving distance are Catania, Mount Etna and its fascinating villages and Taormina. Further afield, but well worth the trip are Agrigento and Piazza Armerina.
From the house one has a splendid view on the vast sea front and the beach, which is enclosed by a rocky coastline, is only a breath away.
The original house with its sober architecture, dates from the beginning of 1900 and consists of two parallel buildings with a courtyard in the centre, open at both ends so as to let in the light to emphasize the pretty white stone which is so typical of the zone.
The restoration has done a wonderful job.
This “sunny” place is surrounded by acres of cultivated farmland with vegetables and heat “crowned” by the sound of silence of the countryside.

Food & beverage :
The menu at the “Masseria sul Mare” represents the Sicilian territory where traditional farming and cattle breeding are still very much part of the scene and guarantee genuine local products like pasta, cheese and wine which perfectly reflect the Sicilian gastronomic tradition.
Area information :
Etna is undisputed king of the area, and hiking on its slopes is an unforgettable experience at any time of year. In the winter and spring, ski touring (the ski-lift system has been destroyed by the last two eruptions) is a challenge.
Some of the best beaches in Sicily are to be found south of Siracusa at the Vendicari nature reserve and around the point on the south coast, where the area around Portopalo di Capo Passero and Pachino is one of the largest areas for production of cherry tomatoes.
Inland, the Hyblean mountains provide a spectacle of rugged beauty with low stone walls and steep gorges such as those at the Cavagrande del Cassibile and Pantalica.
North of Catania, the traditional resort towns of Acireale, Acicastello and Acitrezza have long been a magnet for local day trips and offer arguably the best Granita to be found anywhere.
The spectacular mosaics at the Roman Villa del Casale at Piazza Armerina and the valley of the temples at Agrigento are world class monuments and Taormina draws more visitors than any other town in Sicily.
Travel information :
By air:
From Fontanarossa airport in Catania.
By car:
From Catania take the SS114 road in the direction of Siracusa, and then the SS115 road to Cassibile - Avola - Noto (do not entry in Siracusa!). About 5 km before Avola, on your left, 1 km after the bridge on the river Cassibile, you will see the farm's gate.
