Le Corti di Cannamara - luxury villa with pool and Hammam near Scicly, Sicily

Inside: the indoor living areas of Le Corti di Cannamara are made up of one large L-shaped farm house and two smaller depandances a few metres away. All buildings have gloriously high beamed ceilings. The living area is to one side of the L, while the other side houses five bedrooms. The living area features a sitting room, a superb kitchen with easy access to the courtyard and the herb garden to the rear, a cinema room with projector, DVD and Sky TV, a reading room, and a glazed and shaded gallery with some great floor cushions. Another touch of luxury is provided by the Hammam and its adjacent relaxation room.
The sleeping area houses five of the seven bedrooms as follows: the master bedroom with full height ceilings and ensuite bathroom, two double bedrooms on mezzanines with private sitting rooms and shared bathroom, one double room and one twin room on mezzanine level with shared bathroom. A few metres from the main house, the first depandance has a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom, whilst the second depandance has a living area and a bathroom on the ground floor, and a double bed on a mezzanine.

Outside: the outside living areas at Le Corti di Cannamara are extremely well designed and proportioned, and work very well for large or small parties. They also communicate very well with the inside living areas that surround them. Entering the courtyard, the eye is immediately taken by the four splendid palm trees that dominate the courtyard. To the left you see the main house, to the right a rich garden of mature plants and lawn, and straight ahead the shaded loggia complete with outside kitchen, and the pool. The loggia hosts a large dining table and a large, shady outdoor sitting area looking out to the pool, the lawns and the views of rolling hills of olive groves that take the eye right out to sea. The pool is fabulous, with an infinity edge and a long enough straight to get a good swim in. Next to the pool is a changing room with shower. Beside the pool is a large lawn that's great for playing with kids or just relaxing with a good book in the shade of an olive tree.
