Location
In a quiet part of southern Sicily, close to some beautiful beaches and historical centres, this villa is in an ideal position. Scicli (12 minutes drive) is a fascinating, less visited jewel of a town, packed with Sicilian Baroque architecture.
There are many festivals throughout the year in Scicli, but the two most famous are “Uomo Vivo” (Man Alive) at Easter – a procession which finishes at the beach of Donnalucata and the Madonna Al Cavallo, at the end of May, to celebrate the town’s defeat of the Saracens.
The medieval fishing village of Donnalucata (10 minute drive) is known for its wide beaches and two festivals, the festival of squid and the flavours festival, both encourage visitors the enjoy delicious local delicacies.
If you are inspired by the tasty local cuisine and want to try to recreate it yourself, Scicli’s weekly market takes place on Tuesday in Via Saffi. There is a larger market every Wednesday in the football stadium in Ragusa (35 minute drive). Ragusa is certainly worth a visit. It hosts a prestigious music competition and festival which takes place every July. As well as being home to some of the finest Baroque palaces on the island of Sicily.
Catania’s international airport is a 1 hour 45-minute drive from the villa. Please note that the pool is open from the 1st of May 2025 to the 30th of September 2025
