This exceptional Sicilian villa is the ideal place for friends and families to discover the island's southern shores. Just a fifteen minute walk from Santa Maria del Focallo, one of the region's most popular beaches, the villa was designed by a local architect and is replete with charming touches and useful amenities. Indoors, you'll find three cosy bedrooms, a large social dining room, and a fully stocked kitchen. However, this home's true appeal is arguably outside, with a large private pool, a shaded veranda, and an outdoor kitchen all waiting to be used. Should you wish to get off the grounds for a day, the baroque city of Noto is a thirty five minute drive away, while Syracuse on the eastern coast can be reached in under an hour.
