The farm “Il giardino di Iti” is situated near Rossano (Cosenza).
The ancient building dates back to the XVII century, when it already belonged to the Cherubini family. The present-day proprietor – the baroness Bebč Cherubini – has restored it, and runs the farm and tourist activities directly.
The building is located in a farm of about 16 hectares, which produces citrus fruit, olives and vegetables, all of them biologically cultivated. Poultry and other farm animals are also bred in the farm.
The inhabited side of Il giardino di Iti can be reached through a big portal leading to the courtyard, where the entrances to the rooms are situated. The rooms also have a second door leading to an inside garden, with lawn and orange trees, which is a very cool place in summer. In this garden the guests can eat in the shade of the trees, while in the evening a suffused light, hidden among the trees’ leaves, creates a particularly suggestive atmosphere. |

| Location |
|
|
Il giardino di Iti is only 3 km away from the Jonio Sea. The beach is sandy and sunny, with many lidos and other amusements. But if you prefer mountaisights, you can also visit the near beautiful natural panoramas (such as the Sila or the Pollino mountain). The area is also rich in cultural and archaeological attractions.

The rooms |
|
|
The rooms still have the ancient look of the peasants’ houses they were in the old days. There is “cotto” floor and a fireplace (still working), and wooden frames in each room.
All the rooms also have particular paintings, reproducing natural backgrounds, from which derive the names of the rooms themselves.
