The Area
Located just outside the baroque town of Rosolini at the head of one of the deep gorges that bury deep into the Iblei Mountains, Tenuta della Cava sits at the centre of a 105-acre farm of olive, carob and almond trees. Guests are welcome to explore the estate, which is home to numerous archaeological treasures, including the rupestrian hermitage and churches of Croce Santa.
Rosolini, like most of the towns in southeast Sicily was rebuilt in pure baroque style after the earthquake of 1693. It is home to a good selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and other amenities and boasts a wonderful central piazza.
Nearby are the other towns of the Val di Noto UNESCO World Heritage Site, including Noto, Modica, Ragusa, Scicli, and Palazzolo Acreide (this latter with an impressive Greek archaeological site).
In terms of beaches, one can head east to San Lorenzo, Marzamemi and the beautiful natural reserve of Vendicari, or south to the sandy coastline around Pozzallo.
If hiking or mountain-biking is your thing, Tenuta della Cava is perfect, as trails lead straight off the estate up a deep gorge. Alternatively, there is some spectacular scenery in the neighbouring gorges of Cava d'Ispica, Cassibile and Pantalica.
Syracuse is just over half an hour's drive away, and a day there is highly recommended to anybody spending time at Tenuta della Cava.
