Villa Cucchiella

About this property

Experience the beauty and tranquillity of nature at Villa Cucchiella, a minimalist abode on the edge of Vendicari Nature Reserve in southeast coastal Sicily. Surrounded only by rolling plains and dipping hills, this calm retreat calls for long walks and hikes through the surrounding idyllic countryside. 

Just off the toe of Italy’s boot, the country’s largest Mediterranean island is steeped in rich history. It is well known for its wonderful cuisine, unspoilt beaches and ancient towns, and the looming Mount Etna, one of Europe’s highest active volcanoes. Luckily, Villa’s Cucchiella’s superb location allows you to discover all the highlights of this sun-kissed island.

Spread over one level, the modern house sits within neatly manicured gardens framed by olive and carob trees, with panoramic views below. 

Designed to accommodate six guests, the interiors have been finished to a high standard with neutral-hued sofas and minimalist furniture lending a luxurious feel. Spacious and equally tastefully decorated, each of the three bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom to provide guests with privacy and comfort. With floor-to-ceiling windows letting an abundance of natural light in, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to soak up the harmonious views or keep tabs on children playing outside on the lawn. On warm evenings, the shaded patio is the perfect place to serve refreshing aperitifs alongside homemade Mediterranean dishes, while on sun-drenched days, the cutting-edge pool will provide a much-needed shelter from the blazing Italian temperatures.

Escape the hustle and bustle at Villa Cucchiella, nestled amidst the serene farmlands of south-eastern Sicily. Just a short drive from the quaint village of Rosolini, you'll find all the conveniences you need, from charming local eateries to a nearby supermarket for your grocery needs. Indulge in exquisite seafood at a restaurant only a stone's throw away, or savour the flavours of the region with a visit to the local winery.

For that craving adventure, the Vendicari Nature Reserve beckons with its sprawling landscapes and hidden coves, perfect for hiking and birdwatching. Explore its 1,500 hectares of unspoiled terrain and discover secluded beaches for a unique day trip experience. And don't miss out on the breathtaking beaches scattered along the coast, like the picturesque Isola Bella and the tranquil Spiaggia di Calamosche.

Venture further afield to explore the cultural riches of Noto, renowned for its stunning Baroque architecture and historic landmarks. Wander through its charming streets, adorned with palaces and churches, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Nearby, the ancient city of Syracuse awaits with its captivating Greek and Roman heritage, while Catania beckons with its artistic treasures and vibrant coastal charm, all just a short drive away.
