La Dimora delle Balze is a recently restored magnificent 19th century historical residence located 30 km from Syracuse, where time seems to have stopped. Close to the sea, surrounded by a secret rolling landscape, the house contains within its walls the old stables and farmhouse of a manor house and its garden. The terraces, classical columns and Renaissance frescoes transport the enchanted visitor back in time.

Situated around the central courtyard, and decorated with exquisite taste, the 13 rooms each have a different theme borrowed from literature. Raw fabrics, exposed stone, old mirrors and unfinished wood contrast beautifully with the velvet benches and light fittings, thus creating an intimate and poetic atmosphere. The raw wood and the patina of Atmosphère d’Ailleurs’ furniture blend in perfectly with this setting.
