Overview
Villa Di Marza occupies a prime, seafront position within a coastal hamlet close to the town of Ispica. Just moments away are a beach and the beautiful sea, with the villa offering stunning views of both from its roof and dining terraces. In the height of the summer, hire sun loungers and umbrellas to enjoy leisurely afternoons on the sand, before sampling the delicious food served at the beach-front restaurant.
The villa is surrounded by a small garden and patio that's directly accessed via the indoor living and dining spaces. The interior is light and airy, with a palette of blue and stone hues that reflect the villa's proximity to the coast and sea.
Unwind in the bright living room by reading or watching television on a comfortable sofa. Also simply take in the calming sights of the sea as you sit by the large window that offers clear views over the water. Providing restful spaces to peacefully drift off to sleep at the end of long days are four beautiful bedrooms; two of which have their own ensuite shower room.
Enjoy the scent of the sea breeze wherever you choose to relax in the garden. Al fresco meals at the covered, large dining table as the sun starts to set are particularly atmospheric. There's also a small table and chairs ideally positioned for unspoilt views over the sea and pre-dinner drinks. The very best views of all come as you climb the external staircase to the villa's roof terrace. Chill out on a sun lounger to soak up the tranquil feel and the picturesque scenery that surround you.
Being so close to the beach and sea means all sorts of activities are just moments away. Swim in the clear, calm waters and enjoy total relaxation on the golden sand, one of the loveliest beaches in south-eastern Sicily. The coastline here is stunning, so make the most of it by taking long walks and hikes throughout the area.
Other popular coastal spots just a short drive away include Pozzallo and Santa Maria del Focallo. History and culture can be enjoyed in towns and cities such as Ispica, Noto, Ragusa and Syracuse - which are all within an hour's drive away.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Di MarzaThe sea and beach couldn't be much closer to you when you stay at Villa Di Marza. Less than a five-minute walk brings you to beautiful golden sand and crystal clear waters. Make a picnic and take it with you to enjoy a leisurely afternoon on the beach.
From approximately mid-June to mid-September, there is a beachside kiosk and restaurant open serving delicious food and you can hire sun loungers and umbrellas for totally chilling out and relaxing. At any time of year, when you're feeling active, take long walks along the scenic coastline and marvel at the lush countryside further inland.
The nearest amenities can be found in the town of Ispica. There are a number of restaurants serving traditional Italian food, with pizza and seafood being particular specialities. A good choice of bars, shops and supermarkets is also on offer.
If you want to explore beaches further down the coast, there's the gorgeous sandy stretch, cliffs and lush hills at Santa Maria del Focallo. The small town of Pollazzo has another lovely beach to spend a few sunny hours on.
There's plenty of wild nature to discover in this scenic part of Sicily. Visit Pantano Longarini nature reserve for some great bird watching opportunities. You're likely to see migrating birds such as flamingos and herons in and around the marshes here. Vendicari Nature Reserve is another must-visit natural beauty.
For historic sightseeing, head to the towns of Noto and Ragusa; both of which are well-known for their Baroque architecture. The city of Syracuse is full of ancient ruins to explore.

Best Suited For: All AgesThe beach is just a short walk away, so it couldn't be easier to enjoy a family day out by the sea. Relax on the sand, hire sun loungers in the height of the summer and swim in the clear water. There's also a restaurant on the beach serving snacks and meals, open in the summer holidays.
Take leisurely walks along the coast in the area, taking in areas of stunning natural beauty. Pantano Longarini nature reserve is great for spotting a range of migrating birds, such as flamingos and herons.
You'll also find watersports in some parts of the south-eastern coast of Sicily such as windsurfing around Marina di Modica and even more activities towards Marina di Ragusa.
Around an hour's drive away is the city of Syracuse with its historic centre, Ortigia, being home to the fantastic Teatro dei Pupi. This ancient puppet theatre is sure to keep the little ones happy and entertained with its regular shows.
