Holiday apartment in Cerasella – rural landscape and coast

Cerasella combines a rural landscape with distinctive traces of its farming heritage. The landscape features centuries-old carob trees, centuries-old dry-stone walls and typical spontaneous Mediterranean vegetation. Cerasella is also one of the contrade characterised by numerous 19th-century farmsteads. For those interested in culture, the historical connection lies in the 19th-century farmsteads, while the carob trees, dry-stone walls and vegetation define the rural setting.

Landscape and archaeological interest

In the Ragusa Landscape Plan, Cerasella is associated with an archaeological interest area in category 6a. The proposed landscape protection area between Contrada Magnì and Contrada Camemi includes Cerasella; the first stretch of land is considered gently sloping and characterised by particularly interesting natural features. For those interested in culture, the focus here is on the category 6a archaeological designation and the proposed landscape protection area between the two contrade.

Coast, water and varied holiday days

Along the coast of Marina di Ragusa and in Punta Braccetto, there are surf schools and windsurfing schools that teach people of all ages and physical abilities. In Marina di Ragusa, the marina can accommodate boats and yachts up to 55 metres long and has 700 berths. The two coastal locations offer different highlights: Marina di Ragusa is both a seaside resort with surf and windsurfing schools and the site of the marina, while Punta Braccetto also has schools for both sports. Anyone planning to enjoy water sports can keep these two coastal locations in mind as distinct points of reference.

Cycle paths for active discovery

A long cycle path runs through the municipal area of Ragusa from Marina di Ragusa to Punta di Mola. In addition, the entire coast of Marina di Ragusa is considered a combined cycle and pedestrian path running from the mouth of the Irminio River in the nature reserve to the district of Casuzze. The two routes therefore differ in their type: one runs between two locations, while the other also serves as a pedestrian path along the coast. This makes it possible to choose between a dedicated cycle route and a route for both cycling and walking when planning your day.

Practical orientation along the coast

The beaches in the municipal area of Ragusa have numerous accessible walkways for people with disabilities and numerous parking spaces near the beach. Along the coast of Ragusa, there are both free beaches and equipped bathing establishments; the coast consists predominantly of fine sand and has gently sloping seabeds. Beach orientation therefore includes both the choice between free and equipped sections and the availability of walkways and parking near the beach. If you are travelling with different interests, the choice of accommodation may therefore depend on whether Cerasella’s rural atmosphere, the coastal paths, the water sports schools or the beach facilities are the main priorities.
