Residenza Hortus has its origins in the Middle Ages. Recently this historic house has been renovated by the Italian owner and designer Luca Gianinni. He has transformed this home into an almost cinematic location, by retaining its authentic details and combining it with a modern style and Italian design. Examples are the high-quality aesthetic tiles from the brand 'Made a Mano' and the top-notch outdoor furniture by the Italian designer Paola Lenti.

The house has three bedrooms and can accommodate up to six people. All bedrooms have very comfortable beds and a private bathroom, of which one with an extraordinary bath. Residenza Hortus is a dream for lovers of minimalism; the open-plan house is white, light, and lofty. The luxurious facilities such as the private spa, invite quiet moments. Choose a tasty bottle of Sicilian wine from the wine cellar and enjoy a lovely summer evening on the terrace or in the hot tub. You can further indulge yourself with breakfast service, a massage in the courtyard or an intimate dinner by a private chef in the design kitchen.

Shops and restaurants can be found within walking distance, so that you can leave the car for a few days. If you want to explore the area further, there are many cultural sights including the city of Ragusa. When staying in Sicily, a day at the beach cannot be missed; at half an hour drive there are many options, from beaches with facilities to idyllic coves.

Beautiful house with a beautiful courtyard. Very well equipped kitchen and super comfortable beds. A super reception by Lorenzo. With a lot of tips about the neighbourhood and restaurants. A very tasteful dinner in the courtyard. Centrally located in the south of Sicily. Recommended.

Beautiful historic house renovated in luxurious modern style with sunny courtyard, hot tub, and private spa

The phenomenal Residenza Hortus provides room for up to 6 people. Imagine yourself immersed in an old Mediterranean atmosphere while enjoying luxurious contemporary facilities such as the hot tub and private spa. The house is ideal for families with older children and (befriended) couples. This remarkable home with its gorgeous style gives you the chance to take Sicily in the best possible way and in complete privacy!

The two-story Residenza Hortus (175m2) is divided over a living room, a large kitchen with wine cellar, three bedrooms each with its own small bathroom, a private spa plus an attractive walled garden and a terrace.

Layout:

  • The bright living room has fabulous high vaulted ceilings and features two comfortable sofas and unique contemporary art on the wall (of the hand of the owner, Luca Giannini).
  • A stone arch divides the living room from the spacious fully equipped kitchen/dining room boasting an eye-catching luxury cooking island and dining table to eat all together.
  • Via an iron staircase, you can reach the wine cellar where you can pick a good bottle of wine to accompany your meal!
  • The house has three marvelous compact bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor. Each bedroom is designed in minimalist style and has a comfortable bed with memory-foam mattresses.
  • The bedrooms are decorated with beautiful details, such as a cozy fireplace or carved stone in different patterns, personally designed by the owner Luca. All bedrooms have a (small) private bathroom with shower, heated towel rails, and captivating stone sinks.
  • One bedroom has a king-size bed, the second bedroom – situated on the upper floor - has a queen-size bed and via French doors access to a breathtaking (large) terrace.
  • The third bedroom has a unique round bed and a small, triangular, stone bath in the room itself.

The Hortus (170 m2):

It is not only marvelous to stay inside but the Mediterranean climate allows to enjoy the outdoors as well. Hortus Residenza owes its name to the courtyard garden that belongs to the house. A captivating place filled with fruit trees, built with stone in the same style as the house. Here you will find:

  • A hot tub
  • Comfortable garden furniture from the Italian design brand Paola Lenti. The colorful designs give the garden a stylish look and allow to enjoy the quietness in full comfort.
  • Plenty of privacy thanks to the walled garden
  • A large garden table accommodating easily ten people, thus inviting people to dinner is not a problem.
  • Besides the garden, there is on the first floor of the house, adjacent to one of the bedrooms, a large terrace overlooking the cathedral of Sant Giorgo. A place more romantic than this is almost impossible!

Extra service:

  • Breakfast service and a private chef on request
  • Massages in the garden on request
  • Bike rentals
  • Babysitter service
  • The administrator will receive you personally and is available for questions
