Description

Showcasing exceptional Italian workmanship, this man villa provides incredibly versatile living where indoor and outdoor areas blend with great harmony with the natural surroundings. An antique wooden door leads you to the impressive entrance hall. Straight head there is a beautifully appointed kitchen and adjacent sitting room with dining area. The interiors are in some parts traditional, and in other parts more contemporary. A modern library area has been placed in the main sitting room with large picture windows adjoining the main dining room. Two bedrooms are on the ground floor and two on the first floor. Each of these bedrooms can be regarded as a supremely comfortable suite, spacious with top quality beds and decorated with a blend of considered Italian finishes and the highest quality fixtures and fittings including TVs that appear from the mirrors. The shower rooms have been fitted in classic Sicilian majolica tiles by a master craftsman with twin basins and large showers. A fifth single bedroom is also very comfortable but more suitable for a young adult with adjacent private shower room.

A pathway leads to the covered-out door lounging area covered with a natural pergola and its vines. The panoramic open-air kitchen with barbecue and dining area  provides an exceptional vantage point to enjoy the views and sit around the large table enjoying freshly barbecued fish from Siracusa’s fish market. The infinity pool has two shaded terrace areas and a roof terrace and from here there are wonderful sunsets. Here there is also a small air-conditioned gym, changing room, shower and WC. In addition to the quality of the fixture and fittings of this property, the stand out feature of this villa are the unusual and beautiful gardens which follow the contours of the land around the villa with the Vendicari nature reserve clearly visible in the distance. As you move from the main gate through the meadows and pathways to the dry cactus gardens around this villa, the noted landscape designer Ivan Gallo has created a distinctive atmosphere conveying a true sense of the place. A small pond is carefully set into the garden meadows to deliver spatial serenity, offering at the same time sweeping views of the immediate landscape. For those who wish to explore further, Vendicari provides an alluring medley of lagoons, sand dunes, rocky coastlines and uninhabited sandy beaches – the perfect seaside walk with only the waves, birds and wind for company.
