Inside: the voluminous main living area with its high white-beamed ceilings is seamlessly split into kitchen and living spaces. Each has two specular doors to the outside, ensuring light and airflow. The kitchen area is excellently equipped and features a large square table and chairs, both by well known designers. The kitchen leads out to a sheltered courtyard. The sitting area has comfortable sofas, a warming fireplace and stunning views across open countryside to the sea. It leads onto the terrace. The living area is paved throughout in warm, antique pietra pece, typical of the Ragusa area. To the right and left of the living area are three large double bedrooms, a single bedroom and two bathrooms with gloriously large, stone-lined showers.
Outside: I Lentischi is reached via a long, winding private road, and so tranquillity and privacy are guaranteed. On one side of the house is a walled courtyard offering protection when the wind gets up, whereas on the other the large open, shaded terrace has fabulous views down to the Vendicari Natural Reserve and across the surrounding countryside, which merges seamlessly with I Lentischi's extensive grounds. The outside furniture is as carefully chosen as that inside, and we would be happy for days on end relaxing and moving around in this beautifully soothing paradise. On summer afternoons, when the lowering sun burns, one side of the house provides shade and splendid sea views shared with a 14m-long pool - the icing on the cake.
