Description
This beautiful stone house with views right down towards the sea encapsulates the authenticity of rural south-eastern Sicily.
Step inside and appreciate how wonderfully the owner’s architect son has transformed this local stone casa into a stunning Sicilian holiday home with true character and such pretty designs. Everything has been thought of to make this house as delightful as it can be from gorgeous fabrics and joyful paintings to a wealth of contemporary touches including air-conditioning, a Smart TV and a Bose Bluetooth speaker.
Downstairs, the living and dining areas are open-plan to give the feeling of ample space and a master bedroom has the luxury of both a bath and shower room. French windows from the ground floor open up to the home’s lovely long terrace. Upstairs, two charming double/twin bedrooms, each with an en suite shower room, can be found under the traditional eaves.
In an elevated position, the views from the characterful stone terrace are glorious – it’s a perfect spot for a glass of local Nero D'Avola as you gaze out over the surrounding valley as far as the sea. Find a shady spot for summer meals under one of the carob trees and wander down the stone steps to the magical swimming pool.
It’s not far to drive to the sea – within 6km you can be dipping your toes in the turquoise-coloured water, backed by a protected nature reserve. There are other idyllic beaches close by at Donnalucata and Marina di Ragusa or travel a little further to discover more of the captivating coastline of south-eastern Sicily.
You are also so close to one of the region’s most exquisite Baroque towns, Scicli, where the palazzi and churches are so incredibly beautiful. Ragusa and Modica are also breathtakingly magnificent – all three towns are designated UNESCO World Heritage sites as part of the Val di Noto region.
It’s a joy to stay in this gorgeous holiday home and a privilege to be so close to some of Sicily’s most alluring beaches and enchanting Baroque towns. /n Security deposit /n €750 charged to client’s credit card by the owner upon arrival and refunded two weeks after departure, subject to full inspection. /n Arrival time /n 4.00 p.m. - 7.00 p.m. /n Departure time /n 10.00 a.m. /n Energy costs included? /n Yes. /n Heating costs included? /n Extra cost based on consumption, payable locally. /n End of stay cleaning included? /n Yes.
