A luxuriant botanical garden, a “natural” pool and a Mediterranean herb garden.

Peace and relaxation among ancient trees and rare plants. Donna Coraly’s park is a true gem. A vast park filled with plants, flowers and aromatic herbs, where peace and relaxation take centre stage.
Several tropical specimens – like palms and succulents – grow side by side with fruit, olive and citrus trees, as well as decorative plants
like Jacaranda and Bahuinia Purpurea plants, interspersed with rose bowers and jasmine that perfume the air deliciously.
Rare and special plants like “Buddha’s hand” and “caviar lime” coexist harmoniously with the typical Sicilian quince and the more tropical mangoes and avocados;
you’ll also find jujube, arbutus and pomegranate shrubs.
The centre of the park is dominated by an ancient carob tree. This symbol of the Mediterranean, and of south-eastern Sicily in particular, was mentioned by poet Salvatore Quasimodo in a nostalgic poem on his native land, when he says: “I have forgotten the sea, the solemn/ shell blown by Sicilian shepherds,/ the lullabies of the carts along the roads/ where the carob tree trembles in the smoke of the stubble…”. Next to it, a memorial stone honouring the armistice that decreed the Italians’ 1943 surrender, attesting to a history – which the estate witnessed first-hand – that lives on.
The garden sprawls on, among citrus and fruit trees, to join the hortus conclusus, where vegetables and aromatic herbs are grown so as to offer guests fresh, organic products.

Poolside relaxation and nature

The hotel pool is heated and sanitised with the “salts of life”.
In other words, mineral salts and trace elements which, dissolved in water, reproduce the beneficial qualities of thermal waters, providing significant benefits. The absence of chemical chlorine and the use of a natural filtration system offer the chance to swim in a natural ecosystem completely in tune with its surroundings. The water is heated during the cold season, always ensuring the basin’s correct biological balance.
Tables and comfortable deckchairs in the poolside solarium area are the perfect way to enjoy the Sicilian sun and seductive peace all around.
The presence of a gazebo provides ample space for shade and privacy.
All of the hotel’s catering services and assistance remain available.
A peaceful oasis of in the midst of nature to surprise guests in search of wellness and relaxation.

Vegetables and aromatic herbs: fragrances and nature in Sicily. Hidden in the most remote area of the park, a special surprise welcomes guests: a perfectly-tended Mediterranean vegetable garden. The vegetables and herbs grown here are the farm-to-table ingredients used in the restaurant dishes.
