What is the history of the property?
L’eremo della Giubiliana (sec XIII e sec. XVI) è ubicato a sud di Ragusa dove l’altipiano si copre di carrubbi e degrada dolcemente verso il mare; di fronte le isole di Malta e la costa Africana, un orizzonte carico di fascino e di memoria.
La tenuta faceva parte dell’antico feudo ecclesiastico di Renna sec. XII ex casale arabo (Rendet Gebuni) di cui costituiva una sorta di romitorio e di baglio fortificato in posizione dominante sul mare a difesa dalle frequenti scorrerie dei pirati Barbareschi.
I recenti restauri della torre nord trecentesca hanno evidenziato lo stemma in pietra dell’ordine teutonico che farebbe pensare ad una commenda dell’ordine in questa parte orientale della Sicilia e che unitamente al biviere di Lentini e al feudo di Margana testimonia la grande diffusione di quest’ordine in Sicilia nel ‘300 al seguito di Federico II Hoenstaufen che si servì dell’ordine come sua guardia personale ed il cui Gran Maestro Hermann Von Salza fu il più importante consigliere di Federico.
I cavalieri dell’Ordine di San Giovanni in trasferimento nella vicina isola di Malta donatagli da Carlo V utilizzarono le strutture fortificate dell’Eremo nella prima metà del ‘500 ed il loro passaggio è stato documentato durante i lavori di restauro.
Nel ‘700 L’Eremo fu acquisito dai Nifosì una famiglia dell’aristocrazia terriera dell’Altipiano che l’ha utilizzato come baglio fortificato fino a quando l’ultima erede Vincenza Jolanda Nifosì di Canalazzi ha deciso di avviarne il restauro e di aprire la Tenuta all’ospitalità.
