Hotel Eremo della Giubiliana - Ragusa

About Hotel Eremo della Giubiliana

exterior Eremo della Giubiliana, a charming hotel set in a historical residence, a few kilometers south of Ragusa, to the south of Tunisi, in the Eastern Lands of a different Sicily, the one of the Hyblean plateau and pristine nature, among carob forests and stone walls. Very old thick white stone walls surround and protect the courtyards and inner structure. Its white tower stands tall and overlooks the plateau that gently slopes towards the sea and there are miles and miles of coast as far as the eye can see. Across, on clear days, which are common in these latitudes, you can see the island of Malta and the African Coast, a never-ending horizon steeped in mystique and history.
The Estate used to be part of the old ecclesiastical Fief of "Renna" (12th century), a former arabic fortified structure, in which Giubiliana was a kind of hermitage and fortified "Baglio". The Knights of the Order of St John, on the way to the Isle of Malta, used the structures of the Convent in the first Half of the 16th century; their presence has been documented in the recent restoration. In the 18th century the hermitage was bought by the Nifosi's, a family of the land aristocracy of the Highlands; and the last heir, Vincenza Iolanda Nifosì, decided to start the restoration and to continue the old vocation, opening the estate to hospitality and running it personally.

Rooms at Eremo della Giubiliana

suite The rooms have been converted from the friars' cells, and have all the comforts, telephone, TV, air conditioning and private bathrooms, furnished with old Sicilian style furniture and original household goods which make them quite different from the usual hotel bedrooms.
The Eremo della Giubiliana even offers to its guests the “stone cottages” belonging to the estate. Located in the middle of the property and 400 meters from the main structure of the Eremo, they dominate with a fantastic view over the wide horizon of the Highlands and the sea. Stone cottages, designed as the old shepherd houses of the Highlands, are all fenced with typical stone walls, and have their own parking, private garden and veranda. The interiors are luxuriously furnished and finished with white stone floorings, exposed beam ceilings, mini bar and air conditioning.
All suites are different from each other; some on the ground floor, some on the first floor, some on two levels, all are furnished with old furnishings and oriental carpets. The Suites are offered to the Guests with all the original household goods of the Nifosì family, making them refined and exclusive accommodations.

It’s one of the oldest parts of the Eremo della Giubiliana; originally it used to be the area of the guards of the San Giovanni order.

It is all on the ground-floor, with its charming and old white stoned pavement. It has a very high ceiling with chestnut-wooden beams and it’s symmetrically divided in two parts by a big stone arch.
A little medieval door leads you to the bathroom overlooking the garden; it has two pitched sinks and a whirlpool.

The sitting area is characterised by an old stone chimney and a wonderful sofa of the XVIII century with damask tapestry; big drawers and chests of the XVII century. Old oriental carpets and antique furnishings complete this suite’s charm, making of it one of the most brilliant suites of the Eremo.
