Situated in the southeast of Sicily, just a sixteen-minute drive from the Baroque hilltop town of Ragusa, this home provides a beautifully equipped base for families. It's delightfully peaceful, surrounded by gloriously green countryside for as far as the eye can see. Here, you're thirty minutes from the towns of Modica and Scicli and just twenty minutes from the splendid beaches of Punta Secca and Marina di Ragusa by car. The interior is spacious and contemporary. With its open-plan layout, lofty beam-clad ceilings and large windows ushering in floods of sunlight, the living space creates a free-flowing ambience primed for relaxation. There are all the bells and whistles here for a want-for-nothing stay, including a fully equipped kitchen and spacious dining table for mealtimes with your clan. We especially love the outdoor space, framed by a beautifully landscaped garden and offering sweeping vistas across the Ragusa countryside. Here, a swimming pool takes centre stage, offering a glistening oasis from the Sicilian sun. Between adventures, lounge poolside or fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco on the shaded terrace.
