Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Located on Sicily's southern coast, we find this lovely whitewashed villa with panoramic views of the Mediterranean. The home is split across three levels and includes several living areas. Each bedroom also has its own en-suite – making it a great place for sharing with a group of friends or large family. There’s plenty to keep you entertained here – from an indoor wellness area with sauna and Jacuzzi, to a large outdoor swimming pool and seating areas with barbecue facilities. Culture buffs can visit the baroque towns of Modica and Ragua or you can take a short walk to Marina di Modica beach.
