Staying at Masseria della Volpe makes it easy to organize day trips to discover the famous South-Eastern part of the island, with the sites and locations that uncover its fascinating history. Sicilian Baroque architecture, an expression of the island’s extraordinary cultural heritage, can be seen at its finest in Noto, Modica, Ragusa, Scicli and Siracusa – UNESCO certainly didn’t make these cities of art into World Heritage Sites by chance.

The resort helipad is available for guests who prefer an alternative means of getting around and plan to visit places a bit further afield, like the impressive ancient theatre of Taormina, the gorges of Alcantara, the highest active volcano in Europe, her majesty Mount Etna, or the seven jewels of the Aeolian Islands. What’s more, the whole area around Masseria della Volpe, both on the Ionian and Mediterranean sides of the island, is dotted with beaches, some small and private, others long and wild, and a few are even WWF nature reserves.
