Location
Eremo della Giubiliana is an historic country house situated south of Ragusa, surrounded by the lush countryside of the Ibleo plateau and its carob trees forest. Located in a strategic position at the centre of eastern Sicily, it’s the ideal base for those who want to discover the region, visiting Taormina, Siracusa, Agrigento and the UNESCO Val di Noto Baroque sites.
Hotel
Historic residence with thick white stone walls, its large tower dominates the plateau and the beautiful opposite landscape: on a clear and nice day you can catch a glimpse of Malta island and of the African coast. Completely restored fully respecting the original materials (such as the ancient pitchstone and limestone floor) and furnishings, Eremo della Giubiliana still saves the old handmade furniture, the precious fabrics and rare maps, as well as the original painting of the seventeenth century representing the Virgin Mary.
Rooms
L’Eremo della Giubiliana has 12 rooms, 4 Suites and Cottages, obtained from the ancient monk’s cells, furnished with old furniture and embellished with original Sicilian family ornaments, soft sofas and valuable carpets. The rooms, which reveal the refined typical Sicilian hospitality style, are equipped with every comfort: satellite TV Lcd, air conditioning and private bathrooms.
The double rooms Classic and Superior overlook the “Orto degli aromi”, a fragrant garden with aromatic and Mediterranean herbs, age-old olive trees as well as an ancient Arab fountain; some of them are located on the ground floor and have disabled access. All rooms are unique and different from each other, with wrought-iron beds, private bathroom and original pitchstone floors. In some Superior rooms it is possible, on request, to add a third bed.
The Deluxe are located respectively in the east and the north wings of the upper floor, the 2 Deluxe rooms dispose of a private terrace and a large bathroom with a tub with massage function.
The nice and different Suite have in in common the typical elegance and charm that can be breathed in the whole structure; each of them has specific characteristics in terms of location, the structure of the room and its furnishings, which make them unique and different from the others.
The Cottages are located at 400 m distance from the main building with private garden and veranda and offer the same services as the rooms, except the room service.
Wellness
The massage zone Asphodelus is located just opposite the archaeological site; here guests can take care of themselves with several treatments, sipping herbal tea and relaxing amongst the ancient olive trees in the park.
Restaurant
Don Eusebio Restaurant is housed in a large hall in the ancient refectory used by the Knights of the Order of Saint John. L’Eremo della Giubiliana offers its guests an extraordinary culinary experience at Don Eusebio Restaurant run by a talented Chef. He skillfully blends age-old recipes of the Hyblean aristocracy, based on local and seasonal products.
The best Sicilian wines can be tasted directly in the cellar of the crypt, as the culmination of this wine and food tour in this flavour-rich land. The tea room is even more fascinating thanks to the antique and rare maps collection, representing Sicily from to the fifteenth to the eighteenth century; the bright windows overlooks the ancient olive trees of the park as well as Malta islands.
Services & Activities
