Description

In the heart of Ragusa Ibla, one of the most picturesque and charming districts of Sicily, House "Hortus" offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a peaceful and beautiful retreat without sacrificing the convenience of city living. Upon entering the property, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere typical of the 1970s, with spaces that tell the story of a home that has witnessed generations grow. Three bedrooms, a bathroom, a laundry room, a living room, and a dining room create a perfect living environment for a family, but also for those looking for a space to personalize and adapt to their own desires. The kitchen, the heart of the home, opens directly onto an exclusive garden of approximately 100 square meters—an outdoor oasis where you can relax or cultivate plants, far from the city's hustle and bustle, yet right in the heart of the historic center. Another standout feature of the property is the large panoramic terrace, which offers breathtaking views of the Iblean mountains and the city of Ragusa. It is an ideal space to enjoy unforgettable sunsets or entertain friends and family under the blue Sicilian sky. And then there's the garage, a rare luxury in such a central area, offering around 40 square meters of space that guarantees the convenience of parking without worries—a true rarity in a city where outdoor space is becoming increasingly valuable. House "Hortus," while maintaining its original style, requires some light renovation, but its potential is enormous. You could transform it into your ideal year-round residence, immersed in the charm of Ragusa Ibla, or use it as a splendid vacation home, thanks to its strategic location, garden, terrace, and garage. Every corner of this house tells a story, and it’s ready to write a new chapter, waiting to be lived.

Location: Ragusa, Sicily

Ragusa Ibla, located at the southernmost tip of Sicily, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002 and is one of the finest Baroque centers of 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 been influenced by all the dominations that passed through the island, each leaving its mark and creating a cultural layering that together forms a unique blend: from the Greeks to the Romans, from the Arabs to the Normans, under whom it became an autonomous county. After the devastating earthquake of 1693, Ragusa rose again, unlike other towns, on the same site. This is why it retains a medieval layout alongside dramatic squares and Baroque palaces with facades made from the region’s golden local stone. Known as the "island within an island" due to its history and its distinct economic context compared to the rest of Sicily, its territory can be considered a small microcosm, as it encompasses diverse landscapes within a few kilometers: fine, golden sandy beaches bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, countryside rich in carob trees, characterized by dry-stone walls, hills with gently sloping green olive groves, deep canyons carved over millennia by rushing rivers, and a fertile land that has shaped the character of its people—hospitable and open to new ideas. In recent years, Ragusa has broadened its horizons, investing heavily in hospitality with a focus on the Marina di Ragusa, the most beautiful and well-equipped tourist port in southern Italy, and the Comiso airport, just twenty minutes away. Culture, archaeology, art, tradition, food and wine, and pristine nature are the strengths of this city, where it is still possible to live a life on a human scale.
