About the Property

Inside: the apartment is spread over two buildings united by a panoramic terrace. The “designer” living and dining area, kitchen and bathroom are on one side, while the minimalist “glass” bedroom is in the other. Scrupulously white walls and the soft beiges and browns of the furnishings create a cool, relaxing ambience throughout.

Outside: the central terrace, which seamlessly connects the sleeping and living areas, offers a perfect space for al fresco life, and is furnished with a dining table and comfortable chairs. At night, with a candle or two and Modica illuminated before you, there can be few more romantic settings! A second terrace, complete with barbecue area, is perfect for preparing delicious evening meals.

Think About

The two parts of the apartment are separated by a few metres of covered terrace, meaning that it is necessary to go outside to get from one part to another.


The Area

Exploring the local Area

Volo is ideally situated both for trips to the sea (10-15 minutes’ drive from the closest sandy beach) and to some of Sicily’s most beautiful towns: the UNESCO-protected Baroque towns of Modica, Scicli, Ragusa and Noto. Siracusa is also within easy driving distance as are the quiet beaches of the Nature Reserve at Vendicari.
Slightly further afield is Catania, Taormina and Mount Etna.

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.
