Tucked away towards the south of Sicily, this cosy villa is perfect for a tranquil escape. Peaceful and secluded, it's the type of home where you can feel your worries and anxieties melt away under the gentle glow of the afternoon sun. An idyllic outdoor space defines the relaxed vibe. Find a glistening pool, surrounded by fresh greenery and lined by cosy sun loungers. Spend lazy mornings and carefree afternoons here, breaking up sunbathing sessions with refreshing dips in the water. Once you've soaked in the sun, gather around the cute dining table tucked under the veranda for alfresco dining. Pass round plates of pasta, pizza and tiramisu, complemented by crisp bottles of white and smooth, rich bottles of red. On the colder nights, you can mosey over to the indoor dining table in the open-plan living space. A snug sofa, warmed by the heat of the fireplace and facing the TV, lays next to to the dining table. For the evenings where you fancy dining out, the fine restaurants and vibrant bars of Modica are just a short drive away.
