Description Rustic Sicily: Scicli

Nestled in the seaside village of Donnalucata, just 1.5 kilometres from the beach, this villa makes it easy to slip straight into holiday mode. The interiors pair rustic touches – exposed brick walls, wooden beams and gilded mirrors – with contemporary furnishings. Bedrooms are split between the main villa and a self-contained annexe with its own kitchenette, ideal for couples or families wanting a little extra space. Outside, the pool sits within landscape gardens, with a feasting table on the terrace for leisurely alfresco meals. Fancy a day trip? The baroque beauty of Modica is only 10 kilometres away.
