Bright and stylishly decorated, this elegant villa provides an idyllic base for families or friends seeking a sea-grazing Sicilian retreat. You'll find it nestled in Santa Maria del Focallo, where some of Ragusa’s most special beaches lie, thanks to the natural vegetation, dunes and acacia trees surrounding them. During the long summer days, you can while away the hours stretched out on the loungers with your new summer read or enjoy a siesta under the shade of the breezy pergola. When the sun goes down, fire up the barbecue and enjoy an alfresco feast of aubergine caponata, grilled prawns and fresh squid – the dining table surrounded by palm trees creates the perfect setting. Inside, the home itself is soothingly designed with crisp white walls, wooden floors, chequered tiles and botanical prints to match. It takes just a few steps to reach the Mediterranean Sea’s shimmering waters where you can dip your toes after a day on the sands, soaking up the Sicilian sun. Within a short drive of the Baroque cities of Noto and Scicli, this peaceful spot has everything you need for a blissful coastal break.
