The Eastern lands of a very different Sicily, the one of the Hyblean plateaus and its pristine nature, of carob forest and stone walls, and in the background the sea, always present in the landscape and in the heart of this fascinating island.

Situated in a strategic location, at the crossroads of ancient paths and medieval trails, Eremo della Giubiliana dominates this extraordinary land, where a team of enthusiastic specialists have prepared for you the most suggestive of itineraries and the best way of discovering them.

The true magic of this place consists of the fact it has been able to bridge the gap between past and modern times, which means that Eremo has a private airport (no landing taxes and free handling for Eremo pilots).
