A bit of history…Villa Scifazzo is a fortified farmhouse, an old typical farmhouse in the countryside of Ragusa, built by Cartia barons in 1700. The original feature of the villa was antecedent to the earthquake that shook the entire southeast of the island in 1963. From the original nucleus, nothing remains but the cellar and the internal chapel, an element characterizing the noble residences of the time. The eighteenth-century building remained unchanged until the early 1800s, when the outer wall and the lookout terrace above the main door were built. The feature of the facade, however, took the form that still maintains in 1930. The entire building was completely renovated in 2005
