The delightful countryside of Sicily forms the backdrop to this holiday home sited in the midst of palms, agaves, eucalyptus, pines and an ocean of bougainvillea blossoms. This former country estate is 60 km away from Agrigento, outside the tourist town of Sciacca well known for its thermal spa. Spacious rooms, carefully decorated with a wealth of tasteful accessories, merge the time-honoured past of the estate with modern comforts into a warm and subtle atmosphere. This is accentuated by typical local features such as ceiling beams, brick door arches, hand-made furniture, hand-painted chests and wrought iron lamps. The large living room, with comfortable white sofas arranged around an open fire as a centrepiece, is ideal for whiling away the hours with conversation or sunk in a book; and the adjacent traditionally tiled kitchen is the perfect place for enthusiastic cooks. The first floor houses rooms just as comfortable, including a second living room with an open fire and four bedrooms. The bedrooms open onto two large terraces. Whether you savour the view from the terraces over the dreamlike landscape to the sea sparkling on the horizon, or enjoy the dolce vita in one of the two courtyards – every hour you spend here will help you relax and unwind.
