Imagine waking up to a cool, fresh breeze and having breakfast on a 150 year old stone patio while listening to the birds chirp and the wind rustling the magnificent pine tree just outside the house. Or imagine enjoying a good book next to the window while listening to the babbling of the fountain in the courtyard. Thankfully you don't have to imagine because this place is real! My partner and I spent a week here in August and could not have imagined it any better. The old house is wonderful, complete with family history, and makes you feel like a 19th century estate owner. The grounds are amazing, along with a pool all to yourself. It was the perfect way to spend a week in the Sicilian countryside.
For those of you who like to see the sights as well, the house is close to Ragusa and Modica, two wonderfully old Sicilian towns with plenty of restaurants and shops. And you are well placed to make a day trip to the Valley of the Temples (which we did) and Syracusa. A grocery store is nearby (5 minutes) for stocking up on anything you'll need.
We were met by Antonio who made sure that our visit was comfortable and pleasant. He was very easy to communicate with, made sure we had no issues, and even gave us a little tour of the property (the view from the back is incredible).
All in all it's easy to recommend this place to those who are looking for some respite in an absolutely wonderful part of Sicily.
