TREASURES OF SICILIAN BAROQUE PRIVATE TOUR
SICILIAN BAROQUE SICILY
Experience the Sicilian lifestyle with a food tour discovery! A delightful early 19th century townhouse in the heart of the stunning Baroque setting of Ragusa Ibla, in South Sicily. The hilltop town of Ragusa is an architectural Baroque masterpiece, and this quaint little gem of a hotel is located right in the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Baroque churches and magnificent palaces are all around what was once the home of a Sicilian noble. Lovingly restored by the charming La Rosa family to provide comfortable rooms, the intimate Locanda still retains all its best features-original stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and characterful wooden beams.
Just a pleasant 10 minute walk away is the hotel’s superb gastronomic restaurant, which boasts one of the finest and extensive wine lists in Sicily, as well as an excellent five course “tasting menu”. This interesting area is very much a gastronomic centre, where visitors can taste and buy some of the top Sicilian wines and olive oil.Another unique facility of the Locanda is its private area of the white sandy beach about 20 km away in the lively Marina di Ragusa. From the Locanda you can easily explore other interesting Baroque towns such as Ispica and Modica and perhaps take a trip to see the ceramics at Caltagirone or thne amazing Roman mosaics at Piazza Armerina.
We have a real passion for Sicily and look forward to sharing it with you! Trust the locals…
