Agriturismo Valata Minusa
History
Agriturismo
Valata Minusa in Modica is an ancient turrito site, located in the
eart of the Byzantine Ibleo upland. Originally it was a watchtower,
with the typical features of the Arab-Aragonese style. In the late
Middle Ages, up to the eighteenth century, it was a reference point
for farmers as a processing factory for olives that transform them in
well-qualified and strong oil, with specificity in taste. Even today,
there is an ancient olive oil mill, witnessing the intense oil
activity that characterized this property, which for generations
belonged to the Galfo family.
Our structure
The
fabulous structure in which our resort has been built has been
uninhabited for over fifty years. Subsequently, after wisdom and
careful restoration works, and thanks to the tenacity and commitment
of Francesco Frasca Polara, nephew and son of the owners of
Agriturismo Valata Minusa, it has finally seen a shine of a past rich
in family history and authentic feelings.
Nature and relax

in the charming setting of a 20-hectare estate, our Agriturismo

The territory
The
surrounding area has a multifaceted nature rich in colors where the
expanse of olive trees is one of the most popular agrarian
landscapes. You will come across secular olive trees, in hilly
terraces, on the edge of citrus groves or combined with other typical
Ibleo crops such as carob, almond and vineyards.
