Surrounded by the Pantani Longarini nature reserve, this home sets the tone for an idyllic stay in Ispica. Lazy days can be spent lounging poolside and sipping drinks on the terrace. There’s a barbecue for alfresco dining and plenty of space for kids to stretch out and play. The rooms are set across the main house and two independent guest houses – making this a great option for groups looking to relax and spend quality time together. We recommend hiring a car to get around here, but it’s just 1 kilometre to Porto Ulisse Beach, while Ispica and the nearest amenities are a short drive away.
