There’s no doubt this countryside villa oozes Italian charm with its traditional dry stone façade and evocative rural surroundings. Located next to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ragusa, and twenty minutes from the Mediterranean Sea, this home provides easy access to the region’s significant cultural sites and enticing coastal views. There’s perfect harmony between the outside and inside here - combining authentic character and contemporary comfort - you’ll feel instantly at home. This restored and converted home has perfectly preserved its original rustic simplicity. Step inside and be instantly embraced by its traditional charm – we love the authentic details, period stonework, fireplaces and beamed ceilings making it feel like an indulgent Italian sanctuary. Each space has been individually considered so that the historical features are synchronised with design-focused materials – think raw metal and sleek glass accents that make you and your guests feel part of this home’s unique landscape. Spend indulgent days soaking up the sun by the pool before cooling off in the sparkling waters. There’s an inspirational feeling to adopt in this home – get in touch with your creative side in the art studio, or try out an Italian classic in the rustic kitchen. Delight in the day’s highlights and share special moments with your group over an intimate dinner in the artistic dining room. If you want to get out and explore, beeline for Ragusa to admire the Duomo di San Giorgio and Baroque buildings, before heading to Giardino Ibleo park for sweeping views across the city.
