Surrounded
by green hills, not far from the slopes of the volcano Etna,
on a marvellous hill hanging between time and space, it rises
the Agriturismo Gigliotto, a fief of 300 hectares of fertile
lands cultivated following the peasant tradition.Placed in the
centre of the land of the sun, on an ideal position for trips
to Taormina, Agrigento, Siracusa, Noto and Ragusa Ibla, the
Agriturismo boasts surroundings of touristic places largely
famous, such as Piazza Armerina with its Villa Imperiale del
Casale, Caltagirone, beautiful with its historic town centre
and known for the production of majolicas, Morgantina, a greek
town with the agorà and a wonderful theatre.
The farm-house, an ancient monastery of 1300, develops all around
a sicilian court-yard on which 14 confortble rooms and a dining
room appear, as a place of magic union between the typical fragrances
and flavours of the island cuisine made of biological products,
served with wine produced by Nero d'Avola grapes.
Formerly, the ancient territory of Ganzaria was a large, single
fief. In 1296, it belonged to Guglielmo Padula.
During the Aragon period, the Gravina Family became the new
possessor and split it in many parts in order to sell them.
In 1794, Michele Gravina sold Gigliotto to Silvio Bonanno.
Since then, Gigliotto has always been property of the Bonanno
Family. The last invested was Francesco Paolo Bonanno, Prince
of Linguaglossa and Baron of Gigliotto. In 1990, the fief
was bought by the Savoca Family.
