The history of the Borgo Alveria country resort reaches back a long, long way. It was built on the site of an ancient monastery in 1451 and then razed to the ground by the great earthquake that destroyed ancient Noto in 1693.
If only the place could talk, those stone walls would have a tale to tell. The Borgo Alveria has been transformed into an up to date country house mixing the old with new design, family pieces from years past with vanguard gadgets. Such contrasts when done well, as in the case of the Borgo Alveria, are always a welcome sight. This is especially so in the bedrooms, where contemporary comforts and tastes mix with Sicilian antiques and artefacts. Most of the rooms also have the added bonus of simply great views over the Alveria estate – all nineteen hectares of it.
Borgo also distinctly dances to the beat of a Sicilian way of life. It’s all calm here and there’s plenty of opportunities just to take it all in and enjoy what’s on offer here: from the swimming pool and gardens or wandering a little bit further out and take pleasure in the walks and landscapes on offer.
