For sale cottage in countryside Modica Sicilia

The patter of horses´ hooves in the white pavement returning after a gallop among the carob trees is the music that kicks off the medieval evening we have organized to inaugurate our new farmhouse.
In the courtyard we breathe in the crisp scent of bread, while industrious attendants make gigs with the dishes, we begin to admire the wonder of time past at tables with precious linen tablecloths with wooden plates and pewter mugs, garnished with the fruits of the earth.
Torches mark the paths leading inside and outside the property.
As the warm lights of hundreds of candles slowly flicker on, the herald announces the start of the delicious banquet tasting.
Nobles, attendants, musicians and jesters all in splendid medieval attire move harmoniously like ears of corn in the wind on a starry night of pure magic.
The menu is based on products from the estate and a few trusted local producers.
The guests at the banquet are the people who first believed in this adventure of ours and booked themselves in one of the rooms of our b&b.

We are in the heart of the picturesque Iblea countryside that unravels from Modica towards Ispica, among rolling hills and a sea that fades into the horizon, stands our farmhouse. Structured in perfect harmony with the surrounding environment, it is the ideal place for a sustainable zero-impact vacation, an environment of quiet and relaxation.
The imposing 1700 building stands out in the surrounding carob grove, crossed the main arch we enter the inner baglio.
It seems that beyond the arch, time has stood still, and in the beautiful white stone pavement there are palms, oleanders, prickly pears and other typical plants of the Mediterranean scrub.
So many wooden doors face this corner of paradise and they all deserve to be visited and admired. In ancient times they will have been stables, stables, the homes of the peasants, while the landowner lived in the most luxurious residence on two levels.
Five rooms have already been created in the farmhouse, each with specific comforts and features. From the most traditional with two beds and overlooking the inner courtyard or the surrounding land, to the larger ones with a sitting room and balcony
In the rooms, Sicilian tradition has been recovered with period furniture and furnishings but the modern comfort of a bathroom and air conditioning.
From the manor house climbs a picturesque outdoor staircase among the white stones that leads to a terrace whose view sweeps over the surrounding countryside, offering enchanting views of green fields, olive groves and the sea looming in the distance.
Outside is a cultivated property of more than 81,000 square meters and a synergistic vegetable garden.
There are additional cottages that are part of the estate, a stable and a shed currently used for the recreational activities of the farm.
The property is located a few minutes from the golden sandy beaches and the center of Pozzallo. The latter from a fishing village has been transformed in a few decades in a major commercial, seaside and tourist center, thanks also to the merchant and tourist activities of the port.
It is not only a tourist town, so there are all the necessary services, commercial and recreational activities.
During the summer it becomes even more populated as one of the most active tourist and seaside destinations of the coast, the waterfront and the historic center come alive with many clubs and outdoor attractions. From here close a few kilometers the interesting historical centers of the Val di Noto such as Ragusa Ibla, Scicli, Modica and Noto, declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites, rich in art, culture and eno-gastronomic tradition.
