High quality ensuite accommodation in charming historical waterside farmhouse. Close to Syracuse and Noto. Fantastic peaceful rural aspect, private grounds and parking. Guest lounge, sun lounge and patio. Superb location for walking and bird watching.
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.

Room information
Double ensuite bedrooms with or without window located around the main court and nice cottages around the fields which have been obtained from the old peasant’s dwellings. Room with window suitable for wheelchair users. All the rooms have been furnished in a simple but comfortable way, a special touch is added by the stone walls that surround them which create a warm atmosphere.
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.
