Il Giardino del Sole

In the heart of Eastern Sicily, there is a place that feels like a little corner of rural paradise: a historic Sicilian hamlet lovingly restored by the Ferrante family.

Our agriturismo is surrounded by fragrant orange groves, flourishing olive trees and a farm-to-table vegetable garden—the perfect setting for a peaceful and relaxing holiday in the Sicilian countryside.

Its strategic location also makes it an ideal base for exploring the best of Eastern Sicily. Catania, Syracuse, Noto, Sortino, Taormina, Piazza Armerina, Punta Secca and Marzamemi are all within easy reach.

Catania Fontanarossa Airport is only a 20-minute drive away, while the sea and its beautiful coastline are just 10 minutes from the property. You can explore golden sandy beaches, Catania’s dramatic black volcanic rocks and the striking white limestone cliffs of the Syracuse coast.

And then there is Mount Etna.

From our agriturismo, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Europe’s most famous active volcano, which can be reached by car in approximately 45 minutes.

But one of the very best reasons to stay with us is the food.

Food is something we take seriously. Our traditional Sicilian cuisine begins with organic, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, many of which come directly from our own farm. Authentic flavours, genuine recipes and farm-to-table dining are at the heart of every meal.

Our property is also home to a real working farm, with many friendly animals that both adults and children will love meeting. The Ferrante family puts passion, care and dedication into every detail, creating a welcoming atmosphere where guests can rediscover the pleasures of nature, good food and genuine Sicilian hospitality.

Here you will find peace, relaxation, authentic flavours and the warm welcome of a family-run agriturismo in Eastern Sicily.
