Nestled among the hills of the Iblei Mountains, just a short distance from Syracuse and the baroque towns of the Val di Noto, Agriturismo La Mela di Venere welcomes guests to a tranquil oasis set in over 35 hectares of pristine nature. Surrounded by olive trees, pomegranates, walnuts, and Mediterranean essences, the property offers a timeless and picturesque landscape, perfect for those seeking to rejuvenate away from the hustle and bustle.

The organic-certified farm produces local variety pomegranates grown using biodynamic methods, which are transformed into 100% pure juice through cold pressing. The farm-to-table philosophy is also evident in the cuisine: breakfasts and dinners are crafted from fresh ingredients sourced from the garden and trusted suppliers, featuring selected meats and fish from the Syracuse market.

The accommodations, available in standard, deluxe, and family options, are furnished with handcrafted oak wood in a modern style that honors tradition. Each room includes a private bathroom, minibar, TV, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. Common areas feature a saltwater pool with a geyser tub, a relaxation area with a bocce court, bicycles, a playground, and ample parking.

The location is ideal for exploring the wonders of southeastern Sicily: Syracuse, Noto, Ragusa, Modica, Scicli, and Palazzolo Acreide, the latter renowned for its Greek theater, baroque churches, and folk traditions. Nearby, you can also find the natural reserves of Pantalica, Cava Grande, and Vendicari, offering scenic trails and unspoiled beaches.

Here, every stay transforms into an experience that blends nature, culture, and gastronomy, enhanced by authentic and environmentally conscious hospitality.
