In un uggioso giorno di pioggia la signora ci ha accolto accendendo la cascata che aziona il mulino solo per noi. Una tipica signora siciliana dai modi gentili e generosi. Il mulino è particolare e st... more »

On a gloomy rainy day the Lady greeted us by turning on the cascade that drives the mill just for us. A typical Sicilian lady from kind and generous. The mill is particular and historical. Recommended ride.

Your host is more then friendly, welcome with open arms and tells you in English about his profession in the Watermill and about his ancestors. Dates back to early 1800 and the mechanism is amazing! The lady of the house is absolute charming but understands nothing else then Italian. Before or after visiting Ispica Cave enlightens your day absolutely!

This fascinating watermill was suggested to us on a stormy morning when the better known attractions of Ragusa would have been too open to the elements... We absolutely loved it! Your tour guide is a member of the family who have milled there for centuries and the whole set up is informative and appealing. So glad it rained or we would have missed out on this gem.

Fabulous working old watermill in a cave, with the old living quarters, workshop, laundry and stable in the old caves as well. The couple who run it are from the miller's family. Short walk from here to rest of the caves. Highly recommended.

Interesting to see the construction of the mill and the engineering that went into its design. If visiting the nearby caves then it's worth a stop but probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit.

Il Mulino ad acqua “Cavallo d’Ispica”, originale gioiello dell’arte contadina del XVIII secolo, sorge nella parte nord della valle archeologica di Cava d’Ispica, a pochi chilometri dal Barocco ibleo di Modica. L’antico Mulino, grazie alla dedizione costante tramandata per quattro generazioni dalla famiglia Cerruto e agli ambienti perfettamente conservati, costituisce oggi una irrinunciabile testimonianza di una civiltà contadina ormai estinta, che rivive tra le mura di questo sito, meta ogni anno di migliaia di turisti provenienti da tutto il mondo, di gruppi scolastici e viaggi studio. Il visitatore potrà ammirare le testimonianze di un’arte secolare fatta di utensili e oggetti quotidiani e intraprendere così un percorso che tra maestose volte, fascinose cascate e antiche macine si dispiega nella storia.

The old mill, thanks to constant dedication handed down for four generations by the family Caso and perfectly preserved interiors, is today an undeniable testimony to a civilization now extinct, that lives within the walls of This site, visited each year by thousands of tourists from around the world, school groups and study trips. Visitors can see the remains of a centuries-old art made of utensils and everyday objects, and embark on a path between the majestic times, fascinating waterfalls and ancient grinders unfolds in the story.
