Property info

The Ballium stands out for its rare combination of history and natural beauty, which is why it is a unique gem. It is a historic residence dating back to the first half of the 19th century, once owned by the Marquis Loffredo. Every stone tells stories of noble pasts and Sicilian traditions. This “Baglio” encloses a courtyard that leads to the common areas, courtyards, and meticulously cared-for olive gardens, an indoor hall, a large hall, and a wine bar enhanced by an ancient millstone. The guests will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in an authentic and romantic atmosphere, with the Iblean Mountains on one side and the view of the sea from the Gelsomineto Oasis on the other, framing the scene.

Neighborhood info

Strategic location 1.2km from the beautiful beach of the Gelsomineto reserve. The Ballium is located between Noto and Syracuse, 3km away from the beautiful beaches of Fontane Bianche and Marina di Avola.
