Si racconta che negli anni del dopoguerra in seguito ad un’alluvione fu qui rinvenuto un fantastico tesoro,”la truvatura”, risalente al periodo del cataclisma che sconvolse la ricca città di Netum arroccata sul monte Alveria. Un tragico fatto di sangue segnò questa scoperta e la riportò nell’oblìo, negli stessi luoghi da cui era risorta. The agriturismo Timpa del Sole is established on the slopes
of Mount Alveria, only a few kilometers from the historic town of Noto, and about 300 meters above sea level. Situated on pleasantly rocky and varied terrain, the property covers 12 hectares and it’s overlooked by the “Timpa del Sole”, a mysterious and seductive plateau from which elegant hawks can be seen taking off. The property is surrounded by centuries old carob trees and olive groves as well as a variety of fruit trees, including succulent mulberries and delicious wild figs. The owners produce their own organic extra virgin oil for many years and which is of the higher quality ( come and try it for yourself on a slice of warm bread with a bit of salt and some local oregano ). Delicious marmalades and liqueurs are also produced on site.
