Nestled among carob and olive trees, this remarkable property offers a quiet Sicilian retreat with nearby amenities. Enjoy the views of the sea while nursing a glass of the local Nero d’Avola and adjust to the slow pace of Italian country life.
The property can accommodate up to six guests with open-plan living areas, a swimming pool, and a terrace. Tastefully decorated throughout with customised finishes by local artisans, Villa Nouvel has been built to give guests breathtaking views of the sea and the nearby artificial lake at every opportunity. Its designer kitchen has been furnished with high-end appliances, making sure that your stay here will be as comfortable as possible. One end of the kitchen has full-size glass doors with views of the terrace, dining area, and the sea beyond.
The recently built property has been designed to be environmentally friendly and manages to merge natural materials – such as wood and cork – with manmade – cement and iron. The result is an exceptional structure which encompasses minimalism and style.
Outside, the nearby artificial lake feeds into the private swimming pool. The terraced grounds have dining spaces where you can enjoy al fresco eating while taking in the stunning views of the sea.
When you are after some supplies, the nearest village is just a couple of kilometres away. Here you will find a charming fishing village, with bars, restaurants and shops. There’s also a 2km-long sandy beach to enjoy, where you can paddle, snorkel, hire a pedal boat and play beach volleyball. Beyond the beach is a pine forest, offering picnic tables and cooling shade in which to relax.
A little further inland, you will find Scicli (11km), a UNESCO-listed town in a scenic location. It is an ancient town, and here you can explore a baroque palace, a cave settlement only abandoned in the 1950s, and stroll along Via Mormina Penna, a good example of a late baroque street.
