Description
The exquisite Casetta Sul Mare boasts a privileged seafront position with direct access to the sea and a sandy beach just steps away. There are restaurants within walking distance and, with charming towns like Pozzallo and Marzamemi nearby, it’s a wonderful base for exploring all the delights of south-east Sicily.
Recently renovated, this is the epitome of a summer beach house, with wooden beams, blue shutters and panoramic sea views. Local hand-crafted materials and authentic touches combine with a modern and minimalist design to create an inviting and comfortable home.
This rustic yet stylish feel continues to the villa’s two bedrooms, which feature double beds, TVs and doors opening onto the garden. Floor to ceiling windows flood the open-plan kitchen/living area with light while doors leading to the decking outside bring in the faint sea breeze and serene sound of the waves.
Spend your days relaxing under the shade of the pergola or lazing on a deckchair on the stretch of sandy beach right outside the house. The sea offers brilliant refreshment from the Mediterranean sunshine and there’s a plunge pool set amongst cacti-filled garden for quick dips! Dine at the al-fresco table in the evenings as you watch the sunset on the water’s horizon.
Set on the road leading from Pozzallo to Pachino, there is plenty to entertain nearby. Visit historic Pozzallo (12km) with its 15th century tower and bustling old port or head to Pachino (15km) to discover the town’s popular fruit and veg markets.
Marzamemi (19km) is a picturesque fishing village filled with cobbled streets and ancient sites, including The Church of Dan Francesco di Paola and the Prince’s Pallazo Tonnara.
The Baroque city of Ispica (14km) is worth visiting for its flamboyant architecture whilst the archaeological park at Cava d’Ispica (25km) is also not to be missed. Similar to an open-air museum, this canyon is 100 metres deep and full of caves, catacombs and churches. Exploring it is a fantastic way to learn more about the island’s fascinating history through the ages.
Further inland, the cities of Modica (30km) and Ragusa (50km) also feature grand buildings and ornate cathedrals, while in the east UNESCO-protected Noto (34km) offers another chance to admire some of Sicily’s finest baroque design. /n Security deposit /n €500 paid in cash to the owner upon arrival and refunded upon departure, subject to full inspection. /n Arrival time /n 4.00 p.m. - 9.00 p.m. /n Departure time /n 8.00 a.m. - 10.00 a.m. /n Energy costs included? /n Included up to 200 kWh per week then extra cost of €0.40 per kWh, payable locally. /n Heating costs included? /n Included up to 200 kWh per week then extra cost of €0.40 per kWh, payable locally. /n End of stay cleaning included? /n Yes.
