Agritourisme Baglio Pollicarini (Enna)

Description Baglio Pollicarini

IN the seventeenth century the main building was a small convent of monks who dedicated their lives to a simple and rural way of living. The water spring of St. Rosalie, located in the lowest part of the property and built by the monks, was used both to water their livestock and their crops. When the monks abandoned the convent, soldiers moved in and transformed it into a military garrison. At the main entrance you can still see the remains of the ’Garritta’ , a military sentry box. Towards the end of the ‘800’s the whole property was passed onto a noble family of Nicosia which used it as a summer and hunting residence. Today it has been restored scrupulously by the new owners and the country house has been preserved in almost every single detail.The farm extends over an area of 24 ha and is absolutely organic. Wheat, vegetables and olive groves (Giaraffa, Tonda iblea , Moresca and Nocellara dell’Etna) are cultivated. The aforementioned qualities produce an organic pure extra-virgin olive oil, and we prepare brined green olives and baked black olives with them.Due to its central position you can easily reach famous nearby historical and artistic locations such as the Castle of Lombardy, a Norman fortress, the Tower of Fredrick II of Swabia, the Cathedral in Enna, admire the artistic mosaics of the ‘Villa del Casale’ in Piazza Armerina, stroll among the ruins of the archaeological site of Morgantina near Aidone, see the castle of Sperlinga which is a fortress totally dug out of the rock, visit the town of Caltagirone, famous world over for its ceramics and seek many more other places where artistic jewels are hidden only for you to discover
