There’s no doubt this coastal villa immediately makes an impression with its luscious garden and pristine pool. Located along the Santa Maria coast and a short drive from the historic town of Modica, this villa provides easy access to Ragusa’s golden sands and the Baroque cultural sites that Modica is best known for. There’s a unique blend of modernity here – with a combination of authentic Sicilian charm and contemporary comfort you’ll feel instantly at home. We love the neutral hues, sleek furnishings and light-filled rooms that open out to the terrace. Start your morning with an Italian espresso on the patio, and later head to the alfresco dining area to enjoy views of the tropical garden with a Mediterranean lunch. Spend leisurely days soaking up the sun from the loungers and enjoying the refreshing waters of the impressive pool. As the stars descend, share a memorable chef-prepared feast around the wooden table, accompanied by a good glass of vintage. Your home is located in an idyllic area for cultural exploration – we recommend a day trip to Modica, one of UNESCO’s heritage sites, to explore the Chiesa di San Giovanni Evangelista and Church of San Pietro. Though with the beach... so close, we’re sure you’ll be wishing to make the most of the sand beneath your toes.
