Area Information
Located at the centre of an area rich in prestigious natural sites (Etna, Oasi di Vendicari), archaeological ruins (Siracusa, Pantalica), and architectural works of art (Ragusa Ibla, Noto, Modica), this fabulous Retreat enjoys a strategic position that allows you to visit all of eastern Sicily in one day. Between May and June, don’t miss the yearly appointment with the classical performances in the Greek Theatre of Siracusa. Also of increasing popularity, along with the better known Taormina Film Festival in June, is the International Frontier Film Festival (July) in Marzamemi, an ancient fishing village that has now become one of the newest not-to-be-missed spots in the area, with the largest and southernmost open-air hall in Europe, positioned within the tonnara, a tuna-net maze dating to the period of the Arab domination of Sicily and still perfectly preserved.
History:
In this area, apart from several tombs from the 10th-9th century BC, there is also a cave from the same period which was once a place of cult and which, in the Byzantine era, it appears that the estate was a guest there during his trip towards Sciacca. Due to this presumed visit by the saint, here on this land the toponym originated which appeared on the documents when Riccardo Passaneto, Count of Grassuliato, founded the abbey requestes by the Knightly order of San Giacomo della Spada. There was also a castle which was past of this land, represented by the 'Camilliani' in the 16th century, but unfortunately today it is in ruins. In the 18th century, the abbey was granted in emphyteusis to the Gaetani, princes of Cassaro and marquis of Sortino, maternal ancester of the Matarazzo family to whom it came into the hands of in the middle of the 19th century.
The fortified farmhouse of the feud was immediately rebuilt following an earthquake in 1693 on the site of the ruins of the abbey from the 14th century, but it was already in poor conditions at the beginning of the 19th century. Therefore it was restructured ant the east wing was transformed into the master house. The rest of the building remained where it originally was, including a church, but other annexes were added giving the structure its actual suburban aspect. With the passing of time, the house is more and more inhabited, not only for administrative needs of the feud but also a because it is chosen as the favourite holiday place for many of the family's members. They reside here for long periods, each one undertaking their own pass-time: hunting, horse-riding or gardening.
