Dimora delle Mandorle

In the heart of the picturesque countryside that unfolds from Modica towards the coast of Pozzallo, amidst gentle hills and a sea that fades into the horizon, stands a noble residence embodying the majesty of the past. This former convent, with roots dating back to the distant 1600s and a captivating restoration in the 1800s, is a living testament to the history and beauty that only noble residences can offer. The building stands imposing, its architecture a blend of styles, a fusion of eras. As you step through the ancient gate and enter the inner courtyard, you find yourself in a world apart. The courtyard opens onto stables, barns, the dwellings of the farmers who once inhabited the estate, as well as the chapel. The noble residence rises over two levels. A grand vestibule leads to the broad and dramatic staircase. On the first floor, we find the typical spatial layout of the 1800s with "enfilades of rooms" unfolding, including reception rooms, parlors, studies, and bedrooms. Frescoed ceilings and period floors create an atmosphere of great elegance. All rooms are adorned with windows opening onto the large terraces. From here, the view spans over the surrounding countryside, offering enchanting panoramas of green fields, olive groves, and the distant sea—a perfect setting for outdoor relaxation. Outside, a large garden and enclosed vegetable garden surround the property. Additionally, it is possible, through a separate purchase, to acquire 17 hectares of land with olive groves, orchards, and further buildings that were part of the estate. This place is a living testimony to the history of Sicily, where the grandeur of the past merges with the beauty of the landscape, creating a unique and unforgettable experience.
