As you drive towards this property you’ll notice the tranquil silence of nothing but birds flying by within earshot. Complete calm serenity is one of the best features of this secluded estate that has been transformed into a modern Sicilian holiday home by the owner’s architect son. Beautiful, simple, traditional Sicilian pieces can be found with a few modern touches to make this villa the best of both worlds. Bask in the stillness while enjoying a glass of the local Nero d’Avola amid the magical carob trees filling the gardens. Enjoy the soothing splashes of the water as you go for a dip in the swimming pool and take in the views of nothing but trees as far as the eye can see, with a glimpse of the Sicilian waters. The sea is only 6km away from here, you could plan a day trip and explore the region’s popular Baroque towns with magical palazzi and churches. Dig into your welcome hamper sweets and treats while you enjoy the covered terrace that’s ideal for alfresco dining— be sure to enjoy a private chef-prepared meal while you’re there. Allow the calmness to wash over you as you take in the panoramic dream... that surrounds you.
