Description

Nestled among ancient olive groves and fragrant citrus orchards, the resort welcomes guests to the southeastern countryside of Sicily, in a peaceful yet strategically located area just a few kilometers from the sea, the E45 motorway exit, and the baroque cities of Modica, Ragusa Ibla, Noto, and Scicli. The property features a spacious relaxation area with a pool and complimentary Wi-Fi, and offers a generous breakfast each morning, featuring fresh local products and international specialties.

Hospitality is in the capable hands of Giovanna, a cheerful and attentive hostess, always ready to make guests feel at home and to ensure their stay is a memorable experience. The establishment provides easy access to the stunning beaches in the area, such as Ciriga, Porto Ulisse, San Lorenzo, Cala Mosche, the Vendicari Nature Reserve, and the Isola delle Correnti, as well as charming villages rich in history and allure, including Marzamemi, Ortigia, Ispica, and Pozzallo.

The resort is an integral part of Società Agricola Mauro, a family-run operation that traces its roots back to 1960, when Dr. Carmelo Mauro recognized the potential of this land and planted the first orange groves in the Senna district of Ispica. Over the years, thanks to the dedication and passion of his children and grandchildren, the business has thrived, evolving while remaining true to the values instilled by its founder. Since 2011, it has been certified as an organic farm, reflecting a vision that combines tradition, innovation, and respect for nature.

Staying here means not only enjoying comfort and beauty but also experiencing the local area authentically, surrounded by the colors and scents of a countryside lovingly cultivated by generations.

A beautiful B&B excellently managed by its owners. Our apartment had a lovely outdoor area where we could dine and have breakfast. Spacious, well-kept and clean apartment. The B&B is located near the family's succulent nursery, which is beautiful and has plants of all kinds. A few minutes' drive from the sea and beautiful beaches. Recommended for those looking for a B&B surrounded by greenery and close to the sea.

🌿 A corner of paradise in Sicily – Tenute Mauro. I had the pleasure of staying at Tenute Mauro in Santa Maria del Focallo and I can say with certainty that it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the tranquility of the Sicilian countryside,this farmhouse is a true oasis of peace and hospitality. 🏡 Accommodation. The rooms are cared for down to the smallest detail,clean and tastefully furnished. The property is modern but retains the rustic charm typical of Sicilian estates. The garden and outdoor spaces are perfect for relaxing in the sun or reading a book in the shade of the olive trees. Breakfast is plentiful and genuine,with fresh local products and homemade pastries. 🌊 Location. A few kilometers from the beautiful beach of Santa Maria del Focallo,it is the ideal starting point to explore the Ragusa coast and the baroque beauties of Ispica and Noto. 🤝 Hospitality. The staff are friendly,helpful and always ready to recommend activities or restaurants in the area. You can feel a true passion for hospitality. ⭐ Overall rating: 10/10. Highly recommended for those looking for relaxation,nature and authenticity. I will definitely come back!

We were welcomed by Mrs. Giovanna who, with her availability and kindness, made us feel right at home. Lovely structure, not to mention the very well-kept and peaceful pool area, which was a lifesaver for us with two little girls. The structure allows you to be close to various beautiful destinations. Everything was excellent!

We spent several wonderful nights at the accommodation and were able to completely relax. The property is kept very clean, has a dream pool with many loungers and a great view. The staff was very very friendly and always in a good mood.\nThe accommodation is particularly suitable for excursions in the surrounding area. The owner also gladly gives tips for restaurants nearby and was always very helpful and accommodating.

Giovanna and her entire staff were kind and attentive to detail, always caring to make us feel welcome and ensuring we lacked nothing. The agriturismo is kept in excellent condition and is located in a strategic position, close to the highway and only 7 minutes from the center of Pozzallo, where there are many restaurants and other services. The rooms, the breakfast area, and the pool are maintained with great attention to detail and very clean. The breakfast offers a simple yet delicious selection of sweet and savory products: homemade cakes, croissants, pastries, cold cuts, cheeses, omelets, and fresh fruit. A truly appreciated extra was the coffee and granitas prepared on the spot. Our eldest son had a lot of fun playing with and pampering the little dog Nerina, always ready to welcome us and even to say goodbye at our departure. If we have the opportunity, we would certainly be happy to return. Highly recommended!

An oasis of peace and hospitality: Tenute Mauro, the perfect choice for your vacation! We recently returned from an unforgettable stay at Agriturismo Tenute Mauro and we are very pleased to share our experience! Just a few kilometers from the beautiful beaches of Santa Maria del Focallo, we discovered a true oasis of tranquility, ideal for couples and families. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with great professionalism and exquisite kindness by Giovanna and her team. Their dedication and passion are evident in every detail, making the atmosphere of the agriturismo warm and inviting. We stayed in a triple room that turned out to be spacious, welcoming, and impeccably clean. Our 6-year-old child felt at ease right away, and we adults never lacked space either. A truly special touch was the little balcony in front of the room, furnished with comfortable chairs. Imagine the scene: in the evening, after a day at the beach, relaxing under the moonlight, with the sweet background of the song of the night birds. A true enchantment! And for the joy of both young and old, the agriturismo also boasts a very convenient swimming pool! Our child had a blast and we also appreciated the opportunity to refresh ourselves and relax by the pool. An added value that makes the stay even more enjoyable and fun for the whole family. Tenute Mauro is the ideal starting point to explore the wonders of the area, from the crystal-clear waters of the sea to the clean and unspoiled beaches. But it is also the perfect place for those looking for a refuge to recharge their energies and enjoy the serenity of the Sicilian countryside. We highly recommend Agriturismo Tenute Mauro to anyone wishing to spend a vacation focused on relaxation, nature, fun by the pool, and excellent hospitality. We can't wait to go back!
