Villa Mirto

Overview
Nestled on the southeastern coast of Sicily, away from the hustle and bustle of the two large cities, Palermo and Catania, Villa Mirto enjoys an idyllic location and is part of a stunning holiday complex comprising seven identical villas.
Step into the brightly lit space to marvel at the tasteful choice of architecture and decor. A modern and elegant living room with a flat-screen TV and sofa flows into a sleek dining area and kitchen with a breakfast bar. Also on the ground floor are two bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with twin beds.
Beyond the villa's walls, you can relax and soak up the famous Sicilian sun. Surrounded by a terrace with palm trees and Mediterranean plants is a large swimming pool with sun loungers and bean bags. Head upstairs to the terrace to find a shaded area with a dining table and a jacuzzi perfectly positioned under the sun – or stars at night – a dreamy spot for an evening glass of locally produced wine in the peace and calm of the Sicilian countryside.
Lido Azzuro is a notable resort with excellent facilities, and guests benefit from exclusive access to the beach club located on the sand of the beach in Marina di Ragusa, as well as a restaurant serving traditional Italian dishes and a wine cellar.
After a well-deserved relaxation on the beach club’s sun beds, why not explore the ambient seaside village and stroll along the palm-fringed promenade? There are small shops, cafés and restaurants all around, and the walk leads to the marina, where you can admire yachts and sailing boats.
A convenient position away from the hustle and bustle of Sicily’s large cities means spending more time in small fishing villages and archaeological sites such as those in Scili, Noto, Modica and Syracuse. Not more than an hour’s drive away, they’re a good idea for a day trip to switch up the scenery.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa MirtoThe holiday complex on Sicily's southeastern coast sounds like a beautiful destination for a relaxing and adventurous vacation. Its proximity to sweeping sandy beaches and notable archaeological sites, such as Scicli, Noto and Syracuse, makes it an ideal base for exploring the region.
One of the nearby attractions is the seaside village of Marina di Ragusa. The village comes alive in summer with a vibrant atmosphere, and tourists fill its streets. You can enjoy leisurely walks along the promenade, basking in the sun and taking in the beautiful coastal views, visit the public beach perfectly equipped with sun bed rentals and snack shops or savour Sicily’s delectable cuisine with various restaurants and bars. In the village, you’ll also find supermarkets and small shops where you can stock up on fresh ingredients.
Scicli, a charming small town, is just a short 20-minute car ride away, and its distinct pale, ochre light gives it a unique atmosphere. Scicli is rich in historical and architectural gems, with churches, cathedrals, stone walls, and Baroque buildings adorning its old town. Apart from its cultural offerings, Scicli boasts various restaurants, delis, and cosy cafés, where you can try Sicily's culinary delights, including the famous cannoli.
Another charismatic town nearby is Modica, known for its Baroque buildings like the Cathedral of St. George. Divided into two parts – the higher and lower Modica – which are connected by numerous flights of steps, the town is characterised by palazzi and houses that rise from the bottom of the gorge, seemingly stacked one on top of the other – think Magnificent churches, with their inspiring domes, bell towers and intricate facades. After you’re done exploring, learn more about the town’s chocolate-making history in one of the museums and grab chocolate delicacies from one of the shops lining the crumbling streets.
When exploring the magnificent landscapes of Sicily, hiking enthusiasts and nature lovers are in for a treat with a must-visit destination – the coal-tinted crater of Europe's most active stratovolcano, Mount Etna. This natural wonder offers many guided walks and hiking trails that cater to all levels of adventurers. For a truly captivating experience, embark on the Monte Nero Degli Zappini trail, which winds through mesmerizing dark lava fields, lava flow caves, and enchanting wooded formations. The journey culminates at the Botanical Garden New Gussonea, where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of vibrant flora. Alternatively, if you seek a more leisurely path, opt for the Schiena dell’ Assino, a trail that takes you through a dense pine forest with rocky soil. For those yearning to soak in the breathtaking vistas of the Ionian Sea without exerting too much effort, there's an appealing option – the cable car. Take a leisurely ride up to an altitude of 2500 meters, where panoramic views of the sea and the awe-inspiring volcanic landscape await.
With such a diverse range of activities and attractions nearby, this holiday complex on Sicily's southeastern coast promises an unforgettable and enriching experience for any traveller looking to explore the beauty and culture of this beautiful Italian island.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThis part of Sicily is excellent for exploring with kids, as historic sites and coastal villages await.
Luckily, the closest beach is nearby, so you can escape the heat and let little ones play in the sand. In Marina di Ragusa, you’ll find plenty of restaurants, delis and gelato shops to refuel before exploring other towns, and there’s also a wide sandy beach with sun loungers, umbrellas and watersports so that the entire family can find their preferred relaxation type. Travelling further down the coast towards Donnalucata, you’ll find many more family-friendly beaches.
When you need a change of scenery to keep little ones entertained, head to the chocolate capital of Sicily, Modica. Featuring a working lab, the Chocolate Museum explores the city's history of chocolate-making, and plenty of small shops and cafés sell unique chocolate specialities. Alternatively, visit the Casa Natale Salvatore Quasimodo, where the 20th-century poet was born, now a museum with his books and furniture.
