Like a scene out of Under the Tuscan Sun (minus the major rehab)! This charming 4 Bedroom, 4 bath farmhouse puts you upon the little hills of the Iblean countryside, between Chiaramonte and Comiso. In the heart of the oil production, from the olive called “tonda iblea”, of exceptional quality. Known as the best olive oil all over the world and the road that leads to the Cerasuolo di Vittoria wine, on lands suitable for the cultivation of wine and grapes vines.
We love the charming front entrance, and open doors, looking out to the olive grove. The early 1800’s stone walls are what dreams are made of.

In that particular area of the Iblean territory of viticulture and olive growing there is this charming property. It was founded in 1812 as a country residence of a family that owned several hectares of olive groves and vineyards in the surrounding area and that together with the holiday home also built a beautiful millstone with attached cellar and an oil mill for the needs of the estate.
