Situated in the heart of the Val of Noto of the Iblean
highlands, with a panorama of
the Mediterranean, the Eremo della Giubiliana boasts
an ancient tradition of Hospitality. Eremo della Giubiliana is not in the town but in the coutryside between Ragusa and Marina di Ragusa. Eremo della Giubiliana offers excellent rooms and an exceptional gastronomical
experience, which can be enjoyed either in the dining
room "Don Eusebio", the Crypt or in the Courtyard.

and an atmosphere elegance and
refinement.
Using original materials and maintaining ancient pitch stone and limestone floorings and furnishings, the central part of the fortified Eremo was lovingly restored keeping strictly to historical integrity. The warm welcome gets you involved by immediately making you feel at home, as expected for an old Sicilian countryside residence.
The owners are directly involved and supported by a caring and professional staff, which
guarantees the guests a discreet familiarity.
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.

"Standard and Superior" rooms
The rooms are all very special and different one from each other, with the original pitch stone floorings,
wrought iron beds and old furniture; all bathrooms are private and have bath-tub with shower.
Bedrooms, some on the first floor and some others on the main floor with access for disabled people,
look over the aromatic "Hortus" characterized by a plenty of typical Mediterranean aromatic plants,
centuries-old olive trees, and an old "Arab" fountain.
"Corte Araba" Deluxe Room
It is on the first floor, with its high vaults and wonderful pitched pavement. It has a great terrace viewing
the "Corte Araba" and the private garden too. You can also see the uncontaminated countryside of the
Highlands. Its final view is the sea connecting Sicily to the island of Malta.
Original old furniture, Persian carpets and a big bathroom with whirlpool overlook the "Corte Araba".
"Alcova" Deluxe Room
On the first floor, in the northern part of it, this beautiful room is characterised by a high wrought iron
bed (as originally in Sicily) staying under the typical "alcova" with barrel-vaults.
The pavement is made with pitch-stone. It has a big bathroom with whirlpool and a great evergreen
terrace overlooking the "archaeological park" and the "Antiquarium".
Original old furnishings and oriental carpets characterise this intimate deluxe room, particularly fit to
couples on honey moon.
"Suite Grande"
It overlooks the stone courtyard dominated by a large palm tree and it develops on two levels: on the
main floor a refined living room is dominated by a 18thcentury sacristy-vestry. On the upper floor, to
which the main floor is connected through a staircase with the original 18th-century chestnut wood
balustrade, there are the bedroom and the big bathroom with bathtub. The ground floor, on request, can
be connected to another double room with toilet. (This Suite is particularly indicated for families with
children).
"Frate Nero" Suite
It owes its name to the black cross engraved on the white stoned wall within it and to the black tunic the
Malta monk-knights used to wear.
It is all on the ground floor and it is characterised by thick stone walls and white stoned pavement.
All its furniture is very antique with original Modica chests of the XVII century, old Persian carpets,
damask arm-chairs, whirlpool. (High class for a very low cost).
"Torre del Canonico" Suite
So called because it was used by the owner's uncle, the "Canonico" Ignazio Nifosì, Camerlingo at the San
Giorgio cathedral in Ragusa Ibla and renowned scholar of local history and archaeology.
The tower of the XV century consists of three floors. On the ground-floor there's a living-room and
private utilities. On the first floor there's the bedroom with vaults and capitals of the XV century; it
overlooks the private garden and the "Corte Araba". From the tower's terrace you can clearly see the
highlands, the coast and Malta as well.
"Suite della Guardia"
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.
"Suite Torre"
Settled in the grounds of the ancient sighting tower (XV century), the oldest part of the Eremo and the
most exclusive, it is made up of two big stone-vaulted rooms dominated by an old fireplace; the bedroom
is restored out of the ancient knights' dungeon. The Suite opens to a charming inner courtyard with stone
floorings, and it is furnished with some of the most important pieces, while in the first hall, the "gun
room", a collection of valuable ancient weapons is exhibited.
This Suite, on request, can be connected to the Grand Master's Suite by an internal staircase.
(Due to the historical importance on the structure, this suite is penalized with a narrow bathroom with
shower only).
"Grand Master's Suite"
In 1526 the Grand Master of the Order of Saint John passed by on taking possession of the islands of
Malta. The summer residence of the Nifosì family since the first half of the 18th-century, the "Grand
Master's suite" is located on the upper floor of the oldest part of the Eremo with the entrance through the
old stone staircase; it consists of a lobby, the Grand Master's bedroom and a 18th-century-style sitting
room with fireplace. Two balconies hold out on the garden and the private court with an extraordinary
view of the Highlands, the coast and Malta island. The Suite is offered to guests with all the original
household goods of the Nifosì family, making it one of the most refined and exclusive accommodation in
the Eremo.
Cottages
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.
Some of the stone cottages are restored out of the old peasant houses dating from the 18th century, like
the "Ziu Austinu" houses, while some are new constructions built in the same style. All are fenced with
typical stone walls, and have their own parking, private garden and veranda with big stone barbecue. The
interiors are luxuriously furnished and finished with white stone floorings, exposed beam ceilings, stone
fireplace, kitchenette, mini bar and air conditioning. Bathrooms have a large bath-tub with windows
overlooking the garden.
For the cottages, guests can choose between the usual hotel service or self-catering weekly stays;
both options give to the guest all the same services that the Eremo and its staff are happy to provide to
the standard room guest. Moreover the cottages are directly connected to our private runway so that
private pilots deciding to make a stop at the Eremo della Giubiliana can park their own aircraft in the
grass field in front of their cottage. A new hospitality concept for guests who appreciate freedom.
