The municipality of Mussomeli is located in Sicily and is part of the province of Caltanissetta .
It rises at 650 m. high above sea level, perched on a hill. It is a charming hillside village nestled in the heart of Sicily, draws its name from the Arabic words "Mazil" and "Mel," signifying "home of good."
The local economy of Mussomeli relies predominantly on agriculture, with a focus on wheat, olive oil, wine, and fig production. The rearing of cattle and sheep plays a pivotal role, yielding dairy products like ricotta. Every year on September 8th, the town comes alive with celebrations in honor of the Madonna dei Miracoli. Mussomeli is home to around 11,400 inhabitants.
Exploring Mussomeli, you'll encounter a wealth of historical gems within its old town. Notable noble homes, including Palazzo Trabia, Palazzo Langela, Palazzo Minneci, and Palazzo Sgadari (the latter now serving as an archaeological museum with artifacts from Polizzello and Raffe), grace the village center. A civic tower, constructed by the Lanza family in 1533, also stands as a testament to Mussomeli's rich heritage.
We believe that Sicily is the perfect place for equestrian tourism. With a good climate almost all year round and its amazing natural beauty and varied landscapes, Sicily offers the ideal environment for horse riding. Sicily is also truly unique in terms of its accessibility to riders. The island benefits from a vast network of trails and country lanes and an open countryside approach to land ownership, which means that we can access almost all of the island on horseback, including its most remote and wildest corners. This also means that road riding during our trails is kept to an absolute minimum.
Our vision extends beyond Sicily's extraordinary natural beauty. We also strive to immerse our guests in Sicily's fascinating history and culture. During our rides we also pass through medieval towns and villages, some dating back to antiquity and shrouded in the mysteries of the island's extremely complex and multi-faceted history.
Over the centuries, Sicily has absorbed the influences of all those who have occupied the island, from the Greeks to the Arabs and the Bourbons. The charm of Sicily's complex and unique identity is undeniably captured in its people, who could be defined as nothing other than "Sicilian", and whose character is as intriguing and enchanting as the island's history. The island's richness and complexity also shines through in its cuisine, which combines centuries-old different culinary traditions and influences.
We ensure that our guests have an authentic taste of Sicily's delicious food and wine and always seek to support local producers. Above all, we want to give our guests the opportunity to discover the real Sicily in all of its unique splendor and charm, whilst preserving the island's wild and unspoiled beauty.
The Manfredonico or Musumei castle is in fact located on an isolated peak, perched at the end of a rock at 778 meters, of which it seems to be part of it. It was built in the fourteenth century on pre-existing Gothic-Swabian structures and modified in the fifteenth century. Let’s now go to discover this magnificent well-preserved castle, which will make you take a dip in the medieval past.
