Noto, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy

Tenuta Busulmone is a restored paradise where the past meets the present in perfect harmony. Situated in the heart of the Mediterranean countryside, just ten minutes' drive from the historic centre of Noto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this marvellous estate is set in around 4 hectares of land. The property is an oasis of peace and beauty, offering an enchanting view of the sea horizon, the perfect place for those seeking a unique and welcoming experience. It is a versatile and multifunctional accommodation facility, designed to meet the desires of a modern and demanding public. Here, every detail has been taken care of to create unique environments and offer tailor-made cultural experiences. Originally built in 1852, the estate was used as a rural warehouse and for the production of olive oil and wine. The renovation, which took place between 2006 and 2009, preserved the old tradition, restoring the original stones, arches, jambs, friezes, cells and beams. The reed roof with recovered antique tiles, the cement floors, the iron fixtures and the recovered furniture are just some of the elements that make this estate unique, while not renouncing modern comforts. The estate is characterised by different living solutions:
The Palmento: consists of a living area with adjoining kitchen, a double room with king-size bed and ensuite bathroom, a double room with two queen-size beds, a single room with queen-size bed, and a large shared bathroom.
