Restyling for Villa Romana del Casale: tomorrow opening again



Tomorrow evening:

After a few years, after a partial reopening, the Villa Romana del Casale  (in Piazza Armerina, near Enna) shows  her new look offering her jewels under a new roof and a new display and lights!
The most famous and extented  mosaics of the late Roman period, today Unesco's heritage, are one of the most visited sites in Sicily
In the future, new excavations in the area after the discovery of another  large room  of about 80 sq metres with interesting mosaics . Another villa, part of a group of luxury residences in the area?
This is Sicily..still something new coming from our great Past!

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
