Positioned just 100 metres from Santa Maria del Focallo, this spot is made up of two apartments – making it ideal for two families travelling together and could benefit from having two kitchens and living areas. Since you'll want to make the most of the sea views here, the outside space is where you'll likely spend most of your time. The alfresco dining area provides a central meeting spot for the group to enjoy leisurely lunches and alfresco Italian meals at sunset. You'll find a supermarket and bar within walking distance, however, you'll need to drive to the more built-up towns of Pozzallo, Modica and Ragusa for more variety. *While driving isn't essential here, as you'll find a supermarket just 300 metres away, we recommend hiring a car to maximise your stay. There is a private parking space here for one car on the premises. *The home is spread across two floors without a lift, so it may not be suited to those with limit...

Looking out at the Mediterranean from Sicily's southernmost shores, this comfortable penthouse apartment is perfect for travellers in search of sunshine and sea air.
