Eremo della Giubiliana

historical site dominating the Mediterranean sea- in the midst of the pristine countryside of the Hyblean plateau. A charming hotel set in the historical residence of the ancient noble family Nifosis- a few kilometers south of Ragusa- to the south of Tunisi- among carob forests and stone walls. Very old thick white dry-stone walls surround and protect the courtyards and inner structure. Its white towers overlook the plateau that gently slopes towards the sea; on clear days- which are common in these latitudes- you can see the island of Malta and the African Coast. It is surrounded by the typical dry-stone walls. The estate was part of an ecclesiastical feudal hold dating from the 12th century- and was a sort of fortified fortress dominating the sea against the incursions of Barbary pirates. The Knights of Malta used the building in the first half of the 16th century. In the 18th century the Eremo was acquired by the Nifosi- a wealthy land-owner family. The last heiress- Vincenza Jolanda Nifosi- decided to restore it and open it to luxury hospitality. The lobby immediately reveals the character of the Eremo; the white stone archs- the polished peach-stone floorings with the white family-symbol inlay-the standing armour; old Sicilian style furniture inhabit the sitting area. The intimacy of the inner stone courtyards make you feel at home; aromatic herbs and blooming plants and fruitful trees populated the garden- which opens at the end with a small swimming pool; walks through the garden will make you discover small fountain- Arab water systems- and anecroplois dating back to V cent. AD just at the back of the building. Candle-light dinners take place in a big dining room- wine tasting and small meetings in the old Crypt. The rooms have been converted from the friars cells-the suites were the residence of the noble family or of the ecclesiastical relatives. The property is usually closed in month of January.
