About this property

A second kitchenette adds versatility for larger groups or casual entertaining.
Each of the villa’s bedrooms offers a tranquil haven, with four rooms boasting queen-sized beds, one with both a queen and twin bed, and two with twin beds—ideal for families or groups of friends. Spread across multiple levels, the interiors are warm, stylish, and thoughtfully curated for comfort and relaxation.
Outside, the villa truly impresses. A resort-style swimming pool—framed by palms and flowing into landscaped gardens—serves as a centrepiece for sunny days spent lounging or taking a dip. A shaded terrace invites al fresco dining, offering views over the lush grounds and toward the Sicilian coastline.
Adding to its appeal, Villa La Fornace features a full-sized tennis court and private access to a secluded beach, elevating your stay with both relaxation and recreation. Whether you’re basking in the Mediterranean sun, enjoying garden strolls, or watching the sunset after a day exploring Sicily, the villa is an unforgettable home base.
Combining comfort, elegance, and unbeatable outdoor amenities, Villa La Fornace promises a dreamlike holiday filled with lasting memories.
Villa La Fornace enjoys a prime location between the countryside and the sea, offering guests direct beach access and proximity to a wealth of local attractions and activities. Just a five-minute drive away, the charming fishing village of Donnalucata invites visitors with its two sandy beaches, seafront promenade, artisan shops, trattorias, bars, and ice cream parlours. Fans of Inspector Montalbano will recognise the promenade, often featured in the show.
A short drive brings you to the atmospheric ruins of Fornace Penna, an early 20th-century brick factory dramatically positioned along the coast. Once a hub of industrial activity, its skeletal structure now serves as a fascinating site to explore - and another familiar filming location from Montalbano.
Culture lovers can venture inland to Ragusa, a baroque hilltop town filled with elegant architecture, narrow winding streets, and sun-drenched piazzas. Highlights include Palazzo Arezzo di Trifiletti and the Teatro Donnafugata, a miniature opera house.
For a unique culinary experience, visit Modica. This baroque town is famed for its traditional chocolate, crafted using ancient Aztec techniques that give it a grainy texture and intense flavour. Whether you're indulging on the spot or picking up souvenirs, Modica's chocolate is a must-try.
With a rich mix of history, beach life, and cultural gems nearby, Villa La Fornace is the perfect base to explore the best of southeastern Sicily.
