Marzamemi: i love this place!

Questa settimana per ben tre volte a Marzamemi per lavoro, in tour da Siracusa e Noto.
La cosa non mi dispiace affatto. Il paesaggio di questo piccolo antico borgo di pescatori è fantastico,soprattutto al tramonto.
Molte casette di pescatori, adiacenti la vecchia tonnara si sono trasformate in B&B o in casette da affittare. Altre sono divenute trattorie, caffè e belle boutiques.
Si respira davvero una certà sicilianeità..ma anche un pò di cosmopolitismo da qualche tempo.
Marzamemi è pittoresca e trendy al tempo stesso.Ed è bella per questo.
Salvatores, Tornatore ed anche alcune scene di Montalbano qui da queste parti.

E' una delle località da non perder qui in viaggio nell'estrema punta sud dell'Italia e d'Europa.

Cosa vuol dire Marzamemi? dobbiamo decidere ancora ..tra il porto delle tortore o piccolo porto, ovviamente di origine araba!

This week three times in Marzamemi for tours from Siracusa and Noto!
I love this place....

This  little old fishermen village is very pretty and now  pictureque and  trendy, as well!
The old fishermen houses have been restored (not all) and some of them can be rented or have become lovely shops and cafès and trattorie where delicious fish cousine is served.

Marzamemi is famous for  some movies partly shot here by Salvatores, Tornatore and Montalbano fiction as well.
It's a  place I recommend  that you can't miss visiting Sicily.

It's the extreme southerner part of Italy and Europe , below Tunisi's parallel.
The best moment to shoot nice pictures is the sunset of course or the dawn!

What doe Marzamemi mean? We have not decided yet if The harbour of doves or a little harbour, arabic origin of course!
enjoy yourself!

Busulmona: like Heaven!

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
