Hotel Rigolizia, Hotel Palazzolo Acreide, Tourist Residence val di noto

"Senza vedere la Sicilia non è possibile farsi un’idea dell’Italia. La Sicilia è la chiave di tutto.”
Johann Wolfgang Goethe

The Tourist Residence Rigolizia is named after the homonymous village it belongs to, in the Noto area, district of Syracuse.

Rigolizia, from the Arabic “rahal”, is situated at 20 km from Noto, “Stone garden” and capital of the Sicilian Baroque, at 8 km from Palazzolo Acreide, mystery city from the millenary stones and thousands enchantments, at 40 km from Syracuse, town with a great and glorious past, already defined by Cicero as “the greatest Greek city and the most beautiful of them all”. These baroque centres, which have a rich archaeological history, a baroque architecture and an extraordinary interesting landscape, together with the rocky necropolis of Pantalica, just above the Anapo valley, have been listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

The Residence, then, is the perfect starting point for having a direct contact with the various surrounding archaeological, naturalistic and religious itineraries. All of this will continually surprise you because of its tourist-cultural aspects mixed with the aroma of thyme, orange flower and jasmine and it will inebriate your minds and senses. The Tourist Residence Rigolizia is definitely worth a visit, as a part of the most famous Val di Noto.
