Casa Natura Manghisi
"Almum Flumen" (lat.)
Welcome to the agro-ecological and eco-tourism estate "Natura Manghisi," a unique place in the hills above Noto, spanning 12 hectares in a peaceful, cool, and idyllic natural setting. You will have access to the entire property and will be accommodated in a 40m² self-contained unit, attached to the main house, with a bedroom featuring a double bed and, if needed, the possibility of accommodating a child in the living room. You are welcome to enjoy the swimming pool, pétanque court, swings, and barbecue area.
The estate is nestled in a bucolic and secluded countryside setting. It is bordered by a magnificent canyon sheltering a Mediterranean forest and a charming little river. You will have private access to its natural pool and crystal-clear waters, a perfect place to cool off in the summer.
Throughout the property, you will discover prehistoric and Byzantine tombs, medieval remains, and natural caves. The wild flora is exceptional, typical of the Mediterranean scrubland, rich in aromatic plants and wild orchids. Depending on my availability, I can also suggest beautiful walks that will lead you to archaeological ruins and remarkable natural sites.
You will be ideally located a 10-minute drive from a supermarket, 15 minutes from Noto, 15 minutes from Palazzolo Acreide, which I personally love, 10 minutes from the Cava Grande Nature Reserve, 25 minutes from the beaches and the Vendicari Nature Reserve, and 30 minutes from Syracuse. You will be situated in the heart of southeastern Baroque Sicily, which has many other surprises and beauties to offer.
The surrounding villages host numerous traditional festivals, well worth discovering, and offer excellent small restaurants where you can sample the local wines and enjoy Nonna's typical Sicilian dishes.
The land on the estate is cultivated using agroecological techniques. I grow heritage varieties of Sicilian durum wheat, as well as chickpeas and lentils. You are, of course, welcome to taste the farm's produce, if you wish: lentils, chickpeas, bread, pasta, olive oil, and vegetables from the garden.
I am also implementing integrated agroforestry systems within an agroecological landscape management framework. Together with neighboring landowners and farms, we are developing a shared vision and a project to restore natural resources and biodiversity around the river. This is an emerging process that leverages local potential and partnerships with associations, farmers' organizations, and a Sicilian university.
I will be available to assist you with any questions, advice, or help you may need to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
Welcome! I look forward to seeing you! ☀️💦🌾
