Enjoy a sun-kissed stay at this country villa, close to the town of Ispica and a short drive from Santa Maria del Focallo beach. The pool area is the perfect spot for a sunbathe or leisurely swim and there’s a shaded terrace for al fresco meals (prepared outside with the barbecue or wood-fired oven). Inside, the villa is light and bright, with an open-plan living area that has space to stretch out and socialise. When you’re not relaxing by the pool, hop in the car to discover charming towns like Modica (where the local speciality is artisan chocolate) or the Cava d’Ispica, a deep limestone gorge that’s among the largest archaeological sites in Sicily.
