Dimora delle Balze Noto
About
Bought in September 2009, Dimora delle Balze is a nineteenth-century estate in which time doesn't seem to have passed. The walls, the floors and the ceilings tell fascinating stories filled with a Mediterranean scent, eager to be listened to. The estate has a big quadrangular courtyard which, on its left side, is overlooked by the rooms formerly destined to the farmer's dwelling, to the storage, and to the stables. In the right wing, instead, an ancient gate leads to the manor-house. The interior is composed of a large number of rooms, where there are authentic and suggestive Rinascimento frescoes, brought back to their original splendour. Last but not least, the Manor Garden, formerly enhanced by stone benches, today hosting the remains of the pre-existing classical columns and terraces, set up with armchairs and custom-made design objects.
