Packed with character, this villa is as idyllic as it looks. A traditional interior featuring wooden ceilings, terracotta floors, and exposed stone walls exudes charm. But it's the garden that packs the biggest punch. The panoramic pool invites you to while away lazy afternoons. Three separate terraces are perfect for barbecues and alfresco dining – all back-dropped by spectacular sunsets, of course. Location-wise, you're in the heart of the Val di Noto here. Modica, Noto, and Ragusa are all within driving distance and well worth a visit when you fancy a change of scenery.
