Busulmona : XIXth century farmhouse, once property of the Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever what rigorously the family produce and cook for you! Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun.... an extraordinary view from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com
Gorgeous boats in the second picture, Lucia!
RispondiEliminaI adore your Siracusa harbor.
But the big boat at the top worries me. Is precious little Ortigia beginning to allow huge cruise ships in???
oh no, my dear Jann. Fortunately no, not yet at least as according to the present - ever future plan our beautiful harbour will become a tourist harbour destined to big cruise ships (They say..).
RispondiEliminaWe see , just from time to time some cruises like Azamara Quest yesterday..
To me, the great harbour in Ortigia is already a gorgeus natural tourist harbour and we'd select the kind of cruises we want.
The type of harbour offer a natural selection of guests who would be lucky to stay so close to such beautiful historical centre. The clients of Azamara were amazed by Ortigia, they could reach with no tender, no shuttle bus ,no taxi..simply walking down from the boat..
Fantastico...
