Baglio Spanò
L'antico ed immutato splendore della terra di Sicilia rispecchia il proprio gusto anche nelle storiche costruzioni di fine e ricercata architettura. Il BAGLIO SPANO', dimora estiva dell'antico casato Montalto Spanò, risalente agli inizi del XVIII secolo, sorge al centro di un feudo padronale di circa 600 ettari, ancor oggi, nel rispetto delle tradizioni, coltivato a vigneto. Vi si accede mediante una strada poderale la quale, attraversando l'intero contado, conduce ad un prestigioso portone, circondato da alte mura costruite in tufo grezzo, che cingono l'intera costruzione.
The ancient and unchanged beauty of Sicily is reflected in the architecture of Baglio Spanò. BAGLIO SPANO' dates back to XVIII century when it was used as a summer residence by the noble family Montalto-Spanò. It is situated amidst 300.000 square metres of wineyards only 2 km from the seaside. An old farm road runs directly to Baglio Spanò and reaches its main entrance with the preserved ancient door. A courtyard separates the farmhouse with its guest rooms from the warehouses which were once used to store the grapes and produce wine. The building has two floors. On the ground floor you can find the breakfast room - dining room in the restructured wine cellar, in which you can feel a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Here you will taste and enjoy tipical Sicilian dishes prepared by our cook. In the ancient wine cellar, in which you can still find the original tools and barrel once used for the Marsala production and storage, you will have morning breakfast with typical local products (american breakfast available upon request). The guest-rooms are situated on the second floor where you can also find a wide, quiet sitting room now used as library of TV room. The building is entirely surrounded by citrus trees which release their delicate perfumes in the peaceful spring evenings.
