This nineteenth-century farmhouse in the heart of Val di Noto is surrounded by the peaceful scenery of the Ragusa countryside. Now a stylish holiday villa, it's been renovated to preserve its authenticity but incorporates many modern touches and open-concept common areas. The bathrooms are particularly noteworthy, with bold designs, brass details and sumptuous rainfall showers. Outside, the generous swimming pool is lined with comfortable sun beds, inviting you to enjoy long summer days soaking up the sun. The whole group can get together for alfresco meals in the charming courtyard, or find a shaded spot for a picnic in the garden, surrounded by fruit trees and aromatic herbs. While it's an ideal home to stay put and enjoy its character and amenities, the pristine Marina di Ragusa shore is just 12km away, while other dreamy beaches, such as the ones at the Vendicari Nature Reserve, are also easily reachable by car.
