What's So Special About Dimora Delle Balze?

Dimora delle Balze is a stop you in your tracksย nineteenth-century estate. This beautiful up-scale farmstay eludes an exclusive charm and luxurious character. ย The walls, floors and even the ceilings all tell fascinating stories filled with a Mediterranean scent.

The estate has a big quadrangular courtyard which, on its left side, is overlooked by the rooms formerly designated as the farmerโ€™s dwelling, to the storage, and to the stables. In the right wing, an ancient gate leads to the main manor-house.

With 11 large rooms, hectares ofย gardens, a beautiful swimming pool area and a lemon orchard there are no limits to what your destination wedding at this luxurious location can be.

The estate is situated between two of the most attractive Sicilian cities: Noto and Siracusa.

Dimora delle Balze is located seven kilometres from the UNESCO World Heritage-listed town of Palazzolo Acreide where youโ€™ll find all the local necessities (supermarkets, petrol stations, restaurants). Around 30 kilometres from the property are the cities of Noto and Syracuse, both of which are home to fine art galleries, museums and restaurants.

DDB is located in Sicilyโ€™s countryside and doesnโ€™t have any immediate neighbours. This region experiences beautiful weather (itโ€™s not too hot in the summer) and is around 40 kilometres from the closest beach.

What Couples Say

“We chose Dimora delle Balze for our wedding celebration & ceremony (one of very few places where you can have legitimate civil ceremony in the area). We had an intimate wedding of 50 guests at the beginning of October. We chose to spend all weekend there with our guests, so we rented the all property for two nights.
The property is really really beautiful. Every single detail is so perfectly chosen- itโ€™s the perfect combination of a historical building & modern design…
From very beginning we contacted Francesca, who is in charge of events in Dimora- she always did her best, and we were absolutely happy to have her as our inside help. We only met once the owner Mrs Elena, but we share the beautiful experience of choosing our wedding menu. She was very kind – we spent few hours just eating amazing food and drinking best wines. The food is absolutely amazing thanks to the owner politic of using only top quality ingredients and when itโ€™s possible from their huge vegetable garden.
All this is also thanks to the maรฎtre dโ€™hรดtel Mirko which is one of the most dedicated and passionate person about is work Iโ€™ve ever had the pleasure to meet. He has always done its utmost to satisfy our requests at any time of the day and night ๐Ÿ™‚ You can definitely count on him to suggest you the best locals wines and fresh seafood!

So one more time we would like to say big thank you to Mrs Elena and everyone that helped us to make our special day even more special.”
