Consisting of two buildings, this beautiful and historic farmhouse with its own private pool lies in the hills of Scicli. There's more than enough room for everyone to stretch their legs, with expansive gardens overlooking the centre of Scicli and multiple living and dining spaces spread across the main building and the guest house. Start your day with some laps in the pool against the gorgeous views, or get that holiday-perfect tan on the sun loungers while the kids play in the garden. The hours will melt away into the afternoon, where you can cook up a feast for everyone to enjoy in one of several well-equipped kitchens and dine alfresco on the veranda. As the sun sets and paints the sky outside, gather in one of the living areas in the evening for a movie night – leave the curtains open to admire the sunset with a great view of the sky as nighttime comes and you make plans for tomorrow to be just as wonderful. Head into the centre of Scicli to explore the baroque jewel of Ragusa with its stunning architecture steeped in history. If you're looking for luxury there are boat tours from the marina, and you'll find cooking classes and wine tasting alongside some wonderful local restaurants and cafes. You'll also be a short drive from Sampieri beach where you can enjoy golden Mediterranean sands and clear waters. This home is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in the serenity of the Sicilian countryside, without sacrificing the comfort of modernity and the small luxuries deserved from a holiday.
