“The first time we entered the yard of the masseria, disentangling ourselves from the weeds and cactuses, we found a fox waiting for us, almost as if it was a chatelaine. It scrutinized us, and an instant later slipped away, irritated by the unexpected visit. And so it was that the old masseria, which up until then had belonged to the Ignaccolo family, got its Fox name. ”

Restoration of the original building and an expert reinterpretation, with style and good taste, have returned Masseria della Volpe to its former glory. What was once the barnyard now has elegant hammocks where you can relax and enjoy the warmth of the Sicilian sun. The wells for drawing water have been restored internally and externally, and the old gutters have been repaired to carry water to the wells. Respect for nature and sustainability are the key words of the project. The Masseria makes ample use of solar energy, reuses rainwater for irrigation and has reduced the use of plastic in every possible way. All in line with the organic philosophy, with respect for the land and the nature tides. The citric grove has more than 1,000 citrus trees and includes almost all the varieties that exist in nature. The organic garden bed, the vinegrove, the orchard and the olive and carob trees guarantee the freshest vegetables and fruits as well as the finest extra-virgin olive oil which are masterfully used and interpreted in “Codarossa” restaurant.
