Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located in Santa Maria del Focallo, this home is a great choice for a family or two couples. While it may not be the biggest in our collection, you’ll have a small private pool, a choice of sunny and shaded seating spots, and an alfresco dining area to enjoy. At full capacity, guest five will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living area – some may find this set up a bit of a squeeze, but with three bathrooms, you won’t be queuing for a shower in the morning. When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find a sandy beach a fifteen-minute walk away, and a trio of historic towns – Modica, Noto, and Scicli – all with a thirty-five minute drive.
