Description
Situated between the coast and the charming town of Scicli in the heart of south east Sicily, Villa Arancio is an excellent value-for-money choice for large gatherings of families and friends. The gorgeous beaches that hug this stretch of coastline are less than 3km away and the fascinating baroque towns of Modica and Ragusa also close by. Outside, spacious verandas with sea views overlook a private pool, while inside, the eight bedrooms and living space provide simple but comfortable holiday living.
Set on two floors, the villa is surrounded on the garden level and first floor by expansive terraces. Enjoy al fresco meals under the shade of the awning and gaze out across the pool and lawn while the children play on the swings and slide. There is also a table football – guaranteed to be a hit with all the family! A barbecue corner with a hob, kitchen cupboards and dining area provides a welcome space for preparing meals outdoors.
The interiors are modestly but pleasantly furnished. Downstairs, the living space comprises areas for dining and a cosy den with an L-shaped sofa and giant squashy floor cushions. Leading off from the living room, there is a modern kitchen, with dishwasher, and a bathroom with shower. Bedrooms are bright and airy, some with access to the garden, others leading on to the upstairs terrace. Of the total 8 bedrooms, 6 are doubles, 1 twin and 1 with a small double bed. Seven of the bedrooms have their own bathroom with shower. There is also one outdoor bathroom.

The area
The nearest beach is a short drive away at Arizza, with more sandy shores available at Donnalucata where the gently shelving water is ideal for families, and, slightly further to the west, Playa Grande and Marina di Ragusa. The beach of Punta Secca is best known for the house used in the TV series of Montalbano. To the east of Arizza, the seaside hamlet of Sampieri has a lovely 2km long beach with lido-style facilities, surrounded by pine forest.
The villa is equidistant to Donnalucata and Scicli. Donnalucata has a good selection of restaurants, local shops, supermarkets and a bank. As the smallest of the UNESCO-listed Baroque towns of the region, Scicli is also one of the most attractive. Visit the clustered cave dwellings on the slopes above the town and take a stroll along Via Penna, lined with Baroque palaces and churches. The town hall in Scicli was used as the fictional police station in the Montalbano series.
The two other jewels of south east Sicily are Ragusa and Modica, both an easy drive from Scicli. Make tracks for Ragusa Ibla, the town’s historic centre, to wander through its lively winding lanes and enjoy dinner at one of the many street-facing restaurants. In Modica, the sights are more spread around town. Start with the magnificent Chiesa di San Giorgio and make sure you leave time to taste the town’s famous chocolate.
