Visited on location by Nice2stay

A narrow country road, lined with carob and olive trees, takes you to a ridge where you will find Rifugio Lanzagallo, overlooking the sea and the southernmost tip of Sicily. The old stone farmhouse (built in typical "Masseria style") has been passionately renovated by the owner Daniela (a Sicilian architect) and transformed into a small-scale B&B, preserving its historical architectural elements (such as stone walls and large arches) and elegantly enhanced with a contemporary design. Rifugio Lanzagallo is all about slow tourism... Daniela invites you to sit back and move at a slower pace. Discover the luxury of nature, individual relaxation and well-being.

The B&B is very spacious and consists of two buildings, one with the reception and breakfast room and the other with five rooms (1-4 p) with terraces and open courtyards. The colors white and black dominate from the window and door frames and the designer lamps to the bedspread and towels. Moreover, wooden details and natural sunlight bring warmth to any room. It is an ideal place for couples or families (with older children) who like leaving behind the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the tranquility and outdoor life. Start your day with a rich homemade breakfast, stroll through the garden surrounded by aromas of flowers and herbs, spend relaxing hours in the pool or on the sun terrace where you can also take meditation and yoga classes.

Located in the middle of the Val di Noto, you can make day trips to the historical jewels of the island, the towns of Modica, Ispica, Noto, and Ragusa with their amazing Baroque architecture. But also within a short drive, you will find beautiful sandy beaches, nature reserves to hike, and excellent restaurants with typical Sicilian wines and dishes. The friendly and hospitable owners are happy to share their secret addresses with you!

For me, Rifugio Lanzagallo was about feeling surrounded by a huge positive energy; hospitality, creativity, beauty and attention, and through this, unwinding and landing with your true self. The place is fantastic, special and has therefore won a place in my heart.
