"The ship came to the island Aiea, where the Aurora, born of light, has her home and dances, where is the rising of the Sun; the ship here we came, we pushed over the sand and out we went down on the breaker of the sea."
It was precisely on the shores of Cava d'Ispica that Odysseus landed in his wanderings around the Mediterranean at the mercy of the gods, first on the Isle of Leeks, known as Aiea, "the low island," and then docking at the nearby sandy shore, renamed precisely "Ulysses Harbor," from the bottom suitable for ancient ships.
This and many other stories are told about the thousand-year-old Ispica, a town located south of the Val di Noto and dating back to the early Christian period, which over the centuries has experienced numerous dominations, from Greek to Roman, Arab to Norman, and including the Swabians and Angevins. Today the town lives mostly on tourism and agriculture.
And right here in this locus amenus, where history and art come together on the southeastern coast of Sicily, is Relais Torre Marabino, a place of peace and relaxation for young and old alike.
The sea-view rooms and suites with separate entrances are spacious and equipped with every comfort, the garden is a plunge into the Mediterranean maquis, and the refined cuisine always offers seasonal products from the area's organic agriculture.
There is no shortage of space for recreation, the outdoor pool to enjoy the whirlpool or a refreshing dip during breaks from work, and theplay area inside the park for the little ones.
And just a stone's throw from Ispica is the Val di Noto-Modica, Ibla, Noto, Avola-to continue to immerse yourself in that Sicilian universe of art, wine, literature, cuisine and, above all, so much beautiful sea.
Relais Torre Marabino is the ideal place for your nimble work and slow time, whether you want to experience it with your team or your family, having everything you need at your fingertips to recharge each day and to feel like you're on vacation even when you're not.
