Giardini Donnafugata

OverviewIndulge in the tranquillity of a spacious rural estate, with views of Donnafugata Castle, in the heart of southeast Sicily. Perfect for large groups, Giardini Donnafugata features six ensuite bedrooms and two private pools spread over two completely independent luxury villas, with a shared outdoor dining area and magnificent views over ancient olive groves and carob tree dotted fields. The estate is ideally placed for exploring southeast Sicily, close to some of its loveliest beaches and the stunning baroque towns of Ragusa, Modica and Scicli.

With magnificent vistas over the surrounding countryside, the gardens at Giardini Donnafugata merge seamlessly with the landscape and while dry limestone walls form a natural boundary, they never detract from the view from the various terraces. The estate features two separate pools, one circular, one rectangular (12 x 6m), each with their own sunbathing areas and set slightly apart from the two villas to offer maximum tranquillity. Both villas have their own outdoor dining area, set under the shade of a pergola, one of which can be adapted to form a large communal dining space, so that the entire group can enjoy long, lingering lunches and dinners together.

The two one-storey villas are positioned alongside each other, screened from one another and thoughtfully designed to provide privacy and independence. Each villa features a refined, contemporary décor, with stunning luminous living rooms thanks to walls of sliding glass doors that lead out to the wraparound terrace. High quality furnishings, natural materials and a calming palette of neutral shades together create an elegant living area with magnificent views. Both living rooms feature a comfortable seating area and a dining table for six, and a stylish kitchen with a breakfast bar and high quality appliances.
There are a total of six bedrooms (four doubles and two twins), each with an ensuite bathroom, across the entire estate.
