The Area
Domus Olivae sits amidst an extensive olive estate below the historic, charming hill-top town of Chiaramonte Gulfi in the southeast of Sicily, and about 20km (as the crow flies) from the fabulous sandy beaches that line the coast from Scoglitti down to Punta Secca and Marina di Ragusa.
This is Montalbano country and if you're a fan of the Inspector's work, you'll find the stunning sea and landscapes very familiar. An easy drive away is gorgeous Ragusa, a gastronomic hub with several Michelin-starred restaurants and one of a series of stunning baroque towns, including Modica, Scicli and Noto, that forms the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Val di Noto. Another architectural curiosity in the area is the fantastical Castello di Donnafugata.
Slightly further afield, though still within easy day-trip distance, are the historic towns of Caltagirone, known for its ceramics and its baroque centre, and Syracuse, an ancient Greek town, once the mightiest city in Magna Graecia. Piazza Armerina and its world famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of Villa Romana del Casale is also just over an hour's drive away.
