Stylish beach-front villas don’t come much more stylish than this!

Casa delle Sirene is a little corner of paradise on the beach near Sicily's (and Italy's!) southernmost point. The garden gate leads out over the dunes to a golden sandy beach, bordered by the low white cliffs of a promontory and the blue waters of the sea – a chromatic synthesis of the Mediterranean! Large shady terraces and attractive interiors make it a perfect seaside holiday house for all seasons!

"Paradise does not come close! My husband windsurfed everyday, we mainly had the beach to ourselves, the children played safely on the beautiful beach and in the garden, and we preferred to stay home & BBQ than eat out! We will be back!" Sophie Clark, Switzerland, July 2011

About the Property

Inside: the house is accessed from its reed-shaded terraces and one is immediately struck by the airy, cool effect of the interior design: high, sloping woven-bamboo ceilings supported by white-painted steel joists and punctuated by skylights, white walls and light-coloured furnishing sand fittings. The living and dining areas share one large open-plan space with the superbly fitted modern kitchen, which comes with dark granite work surfaces and a double-fronted fridge-freezer. A corridor leads towards the rear of the house and the sleeping quarters: two double bedrooms, each with excellent quality en-suite bathroom with large walk-in showers.

Outside: all four sides of the house are covered by one immense shady portico with a variety of outside dining and lounging areas. Each is perfect for a different time of day, and one even has an outdoor kitchen – perfect for cooking and dining under the stars! To the rear of the house, under a stylish, cool pergola, is an outdoor gym with tapis roulant, step machine and massage bed for in- villa massages! Large expanses of lawned garden, adorned by palms, olive trees and fragrant Mediterranean shrubs, lead towards the front seagate which takes you directly out onto the lovely beach and the tempting waters beyond…

The Area

Exploring the local Area

Casa delle Sirene is situated just a few miles from Capo Passero, whose lighthouse signals Italy’s most meridional point – considerably further south than Tunis! The coast is almost entirely given over to long sandy beaches, the very same ones landed on by British and Canadian forces during Operation Huskey in the 2nd World War. Just to the west is the port of Pozzallo, from where, in just 90mins by hydrofoil, it is possible to get to Malta. To the north is the splendid Baroque town of Noto, Syracuse, once the mightiest city in Magna Graecia and Vendicari Nature Reserve, home to beautiful unspoilt beaches, migrating flamingoes and nesting turtles. Less than an hour's drive to the west are the other splendid towns of the Val di Noto UNESCO Heritage Site, Modica and Scicli, and, a little futher afield, Ragusa.

The beaches in the area of Pozzallo and Marina di Ragusa have received several consecutive "Bandiere Blu", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence.

Judith Atkinson, United Kingdom, 8 October 2011
"Perfect villa for family with small children, with safe garden and easy access to sandy beach, with shallow sea. This couldn't have been better. The villa was excellent, comfortable, stylish and well equipped... We didn't feel the website and brochure photos did the villa justice so it was lovely to arrive and find it better than our expectations! The welcome pack which included homemade pasta and delicious local food to eat when we arrived was very good. "

Kathleen Ranneck, United Kingdom, 24 September 2011
"Best holidays ever - we enjoyed every minute of it and didn't want it to end. The villa was marvellous and the owner was extremely helpful. We will be back..."

Genevieve Duhigg, United Kingdom, 27 August 2011
