Welcome to this stylish Sicilian villa – a perfect modern retreat with a private swimming pool and plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. We love the shaded veranda with its Mediterranean Sea views – the ideal spot for sunset drinks. There are more vistas from the large living room, too. And while the kitchen is relatively compact, it has everything you need for cooking some Italian cuisine. Located just 10 kilometres from the town of Scicli, you’ll find lots to see and do. The stunning baroque city of Val di Noto can also be reached by car.
