For a new concept of vacationing: the Halaesa Valley in Sicily
Starting from Motta D'Affermo, a town of ancient foundation that was the birthplace of characters remembered
in history either for military exploits such as William of Albamonte who participated in the challenge of Barletta or in the scientific sphere such as Prince Lancelot Castelli (1727 to 1792) who actually founded
the Sicilian regional library and was among the first to deal with modern archaeology and
numismatics, or because of other figures who dealt with the Valley such as Cicero, a lawyer for the
city of Halesa Arconidea , what we propose is a stay in a town, Motta D'Affermo, to
discover the Valley and also its sea.
Here in Motta d'Affermo the stay will allow you to experience a valley that from the time of the Greeks and Romans
had a strategic importance, and whose port,about which we have no news except through Cicero, was
one of the main shippers to Rome.
Of Halesa Arconidea you can visit the excavations.
This certainly was a populous and very rich city so much so that it could afford a lawyer of the caliber
of Cicero.
In the Middle Ages it was divided into many towns such as Tusa Motta d'Affermo Pettineo Castel di Lucio Mistretta
Reitano Santo Stefano di Camastra that make up the Valley.
The Valley, thanks to the work of men and the richness of its nature allows the visitor to discover
the essences (for example, oil and oregano from which the cd pane cunzatu") and the taste that take us back to those
ancient and genuine flavors, to those countryside and hillside landscapes that were the first outposts of the
holiday culture already present in Roman times with the Ozi of Gaeta and Ponza, etc.
We therefore propose a new concept of villeggiatura. We invite you to get to know the Halaesa Valley
alternating sea, archaeology and hills with the works of the Fiumara d'arte of the patron Antonio Presti.
These works certainly represent the sign of a modernity that when it was born had difficulty in
establish itself but that after 40 years we can recognize as a sign and history of 20th century man.
Moving through the works of the Fiumara d'arte, moving if one wishes by mule, stopping under the
Pyramid to contemplate the sun or the silence are occasions and opportunities that vacationing in the Valley
Halaesa will offer you.
A place from which to discover many other places with all their social,artistic,cultural
and anthropological; so many opportunities to realize a personal concept of vacationing, precisely
personal!
Finally, the Pyramid at 38th Parallel by Maestro Mauro Staccioli, is opened at the summer solstice and the
images we offer refer to this event, but it is possible to schedule visits
private or organize events that place it as it deserves at the center, considering that it is above the
the rest!
Every 3 days towels are changed for free.
