Amenities and special features of this house

"In the heart of the enchanting Ibla, amid narrow cobblestone streets and Baroque buildings that recount centuries of history, discreetly stands 'DIMORA BONAFEDE.' An architectural gem dating back to the 1600s, once the residence of the renowned dialectal poet Giuseppe Bonafede, who found inspiration here for many of his iconic works. 'DIMORA BONAFEDE' is more than a house; it's a masterpiece reborn from a love for art and history, reimagined with contemporary passion. Every detail has been meticulously thought out and selected to create an unparalleled living experience. The result is a true inhabitable work of art, a place where luxury finds its full expression, acknowledging that this dwelling represents a unique and irreplicable object. The residence spans two levels connected by a precious internal staircase, a harmonious fusion of past and present. On the ground floor, an inviting living area welcomes you with its evocative atmosphere. Here, the refined kitchen area and the lounge seamlessly integrate, enriched by a small wine cellar and a functional guest bathroom. A splendid 'Deluxe' bedroom with a private bathroom and another bedroom elegantly complete this floor. However, it's ascending to the upper level where one perceives the true magic of 'DIMORA BONAFEDE.' Here, two marvelous rooms exhibit themselves with grace and elegance. The 'Master' suite, featuring a Jacuzzi on the private terrace and an emotional shower, offers an exceptional perspective on the ancient city through a glass wall; the 'Junior,' on the other hand, pampers you with more subdued and intimate spaces. Both rooms enjoy a breathtaking view of the timeless beauty of Ibla. 'DIMORA BONAFEDE' is a complete experience ready to be lived in immediately, handed over fully furnished with exclusive artworks. The paintings by Raffaele Catania and the creations of Lucio Morando, specially crafted for this dwelling, become an integral part of the history that this home continues to write. Acquiring 'DIMORA BONAFEDE' is not just becoming the owner of a luxury house but the custodian of an unparalleled work of art capable of transmitting value over time, a perfect combination of past and present, history, and modernity."

Ragusa: Location and surroundings of this property

"Ragusa Ibla, on the southernmost tip of Sicily, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002, is one of the outstanding Baroque centers in the Val di Noto. With ancient origins dating back to the Neolithic period, it stands on the site of the famous Hibla Heraia. Throughout history, it has witnessed all the dominations that have crossed the island, each leaving its own imprint and contributing to a layering of cultures that together have created a 'UNICUM': from the Greeks to the Romans, from the Arabs to the Normans, under whom it became an autonomous County. Following the disastrous earthquake of 1693, unlike other towns, Ragusa was rebuilt on the same site. This means it has a medieval layout alongside scenic squares and Baroque palaces with facades made of the golden local stone. It has always been referred to as an 'island within an island' due to its history and different economic context compared to the rest of Sicily. Its territory can be considered a small microcosm because within a few kilometers, it encapsulates diverse landscapes: coastlines with the finest golden sand kissed by the Mediterranean Sea, countryside rich with carob trees and characterized by dry-stone walls, hills with gentle green slopes of olive trees, deep canyons carved over millennia by powerful rivers, a generous and rich land that has also influenced the character of its inhabitants—welcoming and open to new things. In recent years, it has taken on a broader outlook, investing significantly in hospitality by focusing on the tourist harbor of Marina di Ragusa, the most beautiful and well-equipped in southern Italy, and Comiso Airport, just twenty minutes from Ragusa. Culture, archaeology, art, tradition, gastronomy, and unspoiled territory are the strengths of this city where it is still possible to experience a life on a human scale."
