The southeast part of the island where the hotel is located has the highest concentration of UNESCO heritage sites in the world. Here the splendid masterpieces of Sicilian Baroque are located in the valley of Noto. Modica, Ragusa Ibla, Ispica, Noto and Scicli are all located within a few kilometres of the Resort but there are other wonderful natural and cultural sites to visit such as the locations for the Italian television series "Commissario Montalbano" written by the Sicilian writer Andrea Camilleri, the beautiful wide-open beaches in the area such as Pozzallo (granted a Blue Flag award for cleanliness by the Legambiente in 2009), the Vendicari nature reserve, the lakes of Cavagrande, Caltagirone, Siracusa and Ortigia, the caves of Ispica and the necropolis of Pantalica. All of these destinations are easily accessible by car on half-day trips.
