4 Double Bedrooms - Pool
Le Due Sicilie is a villa with a great pool and superb views between the Noto and the Modica valley region of Sicily. White stone and perfect style, the essence of the South of Sicily. It is set in a huge estate of hills studded with olive groves which roll gently down towards the superb beaches of the Vendicari Nature Reserve. The estate has also vineyards. It is a practical house too, boasting high quality fittings and appliances throughout, and offering four en-suite double rooms. A highlight is certainly the pool perfect for relax at any time of day.
The house is reached through a cypress path and is surrounded by the olive groves, and gives a sense of sublime privacy and tranquillity. The pool is set in a large area outside the suites doors into the neighbour villa and overlooking the original historical main house. It is shared by this villa. The interiors, a labour of love for the owner, an interior designer, are a chic take on traditional Sicilian styles, while the outside areas offer splendid views over the gently rolling hills of the surrounding countryside.

From the right side the access to the conservatory that is the inside dining and living area, with comfortable sofas. Here also a bathroom. On the left side of the patio the entrance of the kitchen that is perfect for the most demanding of chefs. On the back side, overlooking the garden and the pool, accessed from a separate entrance, are four large double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Furnishings and decor are antique, contemporary and stylish throughout.
Le Due Sicilie is set in rolling hills between the fascinating baroque town of Noto and the beautiful natural reserve of Vendicari. Noto is the most easterly of a chain of baroque towns now protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is also perhaps the most perfect of the baroque towns, which were all rebuilt in flamboyant style following a major earthquake in 1693. The Vendicari nature reserve boasts some of the finest sandy beaches in Sicily, which are pleasingly under populated even in the height of summer. Vendicari is also home to thousands of migrating flamingos, and sea turtles nest on its beaches.
If hiking in the hills is your thing, then there is some spectacular scenery in the rushing streams and waterfalls of Cassibile and at the Paleolithic burial sites in the dramatic valley of Pantalica.
Siracusa is just half an hour's drive away, and a day there is highly recommended to anybody spending a week or two The baroque towns of Modica is only 30 minutes and Ragusa and Scicli are easily reachable in less than 40 minutes.
