Nestled in the Sicilian countryside, Tenuta Don Paolino is a tranquil oasis surrounded by a lush citrus grove. This residence, dating back to the early 1900s, once served as the storage and living quarters for a farmer, but has now been transformed into a welcoming establishment that strikes the perfect balance between comfort and nature.

The estate features six rooms, including four doubles, one triple, and one single, all equipped with private bathrooms, air conditioning, heating, and TV. The mild Sicilian climate and the strategic location of the property make it easy to reach the stunning artistic cities of Noto, Syracuse, and Ragusa, as well as the beautiful beaches along the Ionian Sea, such as those in Avola, Calamosche, and the Vendicari Nature Reserve, a biodiversity paradise recognized by UNESCO.

Here, guests can unwind in the shade of an olive tree, enveloped by the fragrances and colors of the Sicilian countryside, or bask in the sun by the pool. After a day exploring the cultural and natural wonders of the area, the estate provides an ideal retreat for rejuvenation and moments of true relaxation.
Rooms and Rates
Every morning at Tenuta Don Paolino, breakfast is a special occasion designed to provide guests with a delightful awakening amidst the scents and flavors of Sicily. A wide array of treats made with fresh, seasonal ingredients awaits guests to start their day in the best possible way.

Homemade jams, including fig and orange varieties, accompany warm, flaky croissants filled with cream, chocolate, or preserves. Sicilian cannoli, filled on the spot with fresh ricotta or cream, offer an authentic taste of local pastry.

Fresh fruit juices, ranging from orange to pineapple, pear to apple, are available alongside a selection of seasonal fruits like cherries, apples, pears, and oranges. Each morning, homemade cakes made with natural ingredients are baked to ensure a genuine and authentic flavor.

For those seeking a more complete experience, lunch or dinner can be enjoyed upon request, even by the poolside, allowing guests to savor traditional Sicilian dishes in a relaxing and picturesque atmosphere.

Hello, my name is Paolo Tiberio, and I am the owner of the B&B Tenuta Don Paolino. I am an architect, and in 2010, I completed the renovation project for this establishment. Here, you will have the chance to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Sicilian countryside, enjoying a good book in the shade of an olive tree, surrounded by the scents, sounds, and colors of nature.

The Don Paolino Estate is situated in a prime location, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Mediterranean countryside, yet just a short distance from some of Sicily's most captivating wonders. Enclosed by a vast citrus grove belonging to the estate, it provides an ideal retreat for those seeking an authentic experience amidst nature, culture, and relaxation.

From the estate, one can easily access the stunning cities of Syracuse, Noto, and Modica, all recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites for their remarkable architectural and landscape beauty. Strolling through the narrow streets of Noto, the capital of Sicilian Baroque, marveling at its impressive Cathedral, or witnessing the enchanting Infiorata are experiences not to be missed. Also nearby are the stunning canyons of Cavagrande del Cassibile, featuring its pools nestled within the rocks, and the beautiful Vendicari Nature Reserve, a biodiversity paradise with golden beaches and ancient tuna fishing sites.

For beach lovers, the shores of Avola, including the famous Gallina Beach, boast crystal-clear waters and shallow bottoms ideal for relaxation and swimming. Just a few kilometers away lies the fishing village of Marzamemi, where time seems to stand still among the fishermen's cottages and one of Sicily's oldest tuna processing plants.

Hiking enthusiasts can venture towards Mount Etna, the majestic active volcano, or explore the ancient ruins of Agrigento and Selinunte, timeless witnesses to the greatness of Greek civilization. A short distance from the estate, visitors can also discover local culinary traditions, such as ragusan scacce, the famous Sicilian cannoli, and the renowned Modica chocolate, made using an ancient technique and bearing an IGP designation.

Don Paolino Estate serves as the perfect starting point to explore the authentic heart of Sicily, allowing guests to be captivated by its historical charm, breathtaking landscapes, and rich culinary heritage.
