Présentation
Eremo della Giubiliana, a charming hotel set in a historical residence, a few kilometers south of Ragusa, to the south of Tunisi, in the Eastern Lands of a different Sicily, the one of the Hyblean plateau and pristine nature, among carob forests and stone walls. Very old thick white stone walls surround and protect the courtyards and inner structure. Its white tower stands tall and overlooks the plateau that gently slopes towards the sea and there are miles and miles of coast as far as the eye can see. Across, on clear days, which are common in these latitudes, you can see the island of Malta and the African Coast, a never-ending horizon steeped in mystique and history.The Estate used to be part of the old ecclesiastical Fief of "Renna" (12th century), a former arabic fortified structure, in which Giubiliana was a kind of hermitage and fortified "Baglio". The Knights of the Order of St John, on the way to the Isle of Malta, used the structures of the Convent in the first Half of the 16th century; their presence has been documented in the recent restoration. In the 18th century the hermitage was bought by the Nifosi's, a family of the land aristocracy of the Highlands; and the last heir, Vincenza Iolanda Nifosì, decided to start the restoration and to continue the old vocation, opening the estate to hospitality and running it personally.
