Poet's House charme villa + patio outside Ragusa

In this authentic eighteenth-century farmhouse you can still breathe echoes of poetry. Come and be inspired... In the house you will find a taste of freedom, simplicity, imperfect beauty: the charm of the boundless horizon, of life without the superfluous, of the lightness of sustainability. The garden is a oasis where you can contemplate the stars. Just outside, the nature of the truest Sicily: where rows of dry stone walls divide solitary carob trees and the gaze runs towards the silent sea.
