Suite della Guardia 3
Uno degli ambienti pių antichi dell'Eremo (XVI sec.), originariamente il corpo di guardia al tempo dei Cavalieri dell'Ordine di San Giovanni. Tutta su un unico livello con murature a faccia vista ed antichi pavimenti in pietra bianca; lo straordinario volume interno č definito da un alto soffitto con travi di castagno e simmetricamente diviso da un grande arco in pietra. Una porticina medievale collega al grande bagno, che si affaccia sul giardino dei fichi d'india, dotato di doppi lavabi con ripiani in pece e vasca idromassaggio.
La zona soggiorno č dominata dall'antico camino in pietra ed arricchita da un magnifico salotto del '700 con tappezzerie in damasco di seta; cassettoni e cassapanche del '600 modicano unitamente agli antichi tappeti orientali e alle suppellettili d'epoca completano l'arredo di questa splendida Suite, una delle pių prestigiose dell'Eremo della Giubiliana.
It's one of the oldest parts of the Eremo della Giubiliana; originally it used to be the area of the guards of the San Giovanni order.
It is all on the ground-floor, with its charming and old white stoned pavement. It has a very high ceiling with chestnut-wooden beams and it's symmetrically divided in two parts by a big stone arch. A little medieval door leads you to the bathroom overlooking the garden; it has two pitched sinks and a whirlpool.
The sitting area is characterised by an old stone chimney and a wonderful sofa of the XVIII century with damask tapestry; big drawers and chests of the XVII century. Old oriental carpets and antique furnishings complete this suite's charm, making of it one of the most brilliant suites of the Eremo.
