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.
