Morgantina is an ancient Roman and Greek city, an archaeological site in the territory of Aidone, an Italian town in the province of Enna in Sicily. The city was brought to light in the fall of 1955 by the archaeological mission of the University of Princeton.  The most easily accessible area belongs to the period that goes back from the middle of the V to the end of the 1st century BC, the period of the greatest splendor of the city.

From this site come very important archaeological finds such as the Venus of Morgantina, currently housed at the archaeological museum of Aidone which came on March 17, 2011 after the dispute between Italy and the United States where it was exhibited at the Getty Museum in Malibu, and the Treasure of Morgantina, also returned.

Privacy is complete in this beautiful and refined historic villa that can accommodate up to 4 guests within a very comfortable and wide space. The recent renovation (completed during May 2013) has preserved the Sicilian traditional character of this mansion – majolica tiles, terracotta pavements, fresh and bright spaces, ancient and very refined furniture- without giving up on all the modern comforts required, from plasma SAT TV to top-quality kitchen supplies.

Outside, the sight is just stunning. A private outside pergola (just for guests), tastefully furnished with outdoor tables and chairs, will be perfect for starting your day at its best with a delicious breakfast with fresh-baked croissants, staring at the beautiful sea right in front of you.
