This impressive villa sets the tone for an unforgettable stay in Southern Sicily. Just a short drive to the Baroque town of Modica yet indulgently rural, it’s the perfect setting to retreat whilst also enjoying the proximity to the region’s cultural highlights.

Stepping inside, the interior is a modern mix of sleek design elements and bright open spaces. It’s thoughtfully designed to celebrate life’s luxuries – like sharing quality time together in the contemporary living room on the orange sofa and enjoying memorable meals on the outdoor patio. If the stunning landscape vistas aren’t impressive enough on their own, add in a freshly brewed coffee and a private balcony – this is a surefire way to elevate your morning routine.

Soak up the sun at home from a poolside lounger or soak up the Baroque architecture of Modica – don’t forget to stop in at the Chocolate Museum, where you can learn about its history as well as admire the chocolate sculptures.

Head home and prepare an alfresco feast in the outdoor kitchen, then tuck under the pergola. Post-dinner, it's time to relax, and you couldn't be in a better location do to so. Sink into the illuminated waters of your private pool for a few laps under the stars.
