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

If you’re looking for a quiet, countryside sanctuary to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life for a while, this charming apartment, set within a sprawling country estate in Ragusa, will tick every box for you. The home is simplistic – vaulted ceilings, exposed timber and a neutral palette make this a peaceful retreat that doesn’t try to distract from the beauty outside its doors. It oozes rustic charm, inviting you to step outdoors and revel in the beauty of nature that wraps itself around you. Rustle up a spuntino, with olives, a little bruschetta, meats and cheeses a must, and you can dine alfresco on your private terrace as the Sicilian sun warms your skin. Stroll down to the communal pool area as the afternoon stretches on and bag yourself a sun lounger. Watch as the sunlight plays upon the surface of the water, enticing you in for a refreshing dip and some respite from the heat of the day. When you’ve had enough time in the pool, grab your holiday read and settle down for a quiet afternoon getting lost in a story – just don’t forget to tear your eyes away from the words every now...
