The owner’s son, an architect, has seamlessly blended the original features of the villa with modern architecture. The thick walls keeps the villa naturally cool, and is fully air conditioned for those extra warm Sicilian summer days.

The ground floor is composed of the living rooms, dining room, and kitchen, all flowing from one space to another, all with French doors opening onto the terrace. Dine under the shade of the carob trees in out the exterior dining area, equipped with table and chairs. The master bedroom, also on the ground floor, features two bathrooms, one with a bathtub and one with a shower.

An open staircase (without a railing) leads to the upper floor where there are two bedrooms, twins or doubles, each with ensuite bathrooms.

On the terrace below the house, there is a long, narrow lap pool (12x4). Beautiful carob trees provide shade throughout the property, as well as over the poolside sun beds. Find extra sun beds in a small stone shed, near the pool.

How to get there

There are numerous Baroque towns nearby that were once an architectural mix of medieval, Middle Eastern and Punic in their styles. After the earthquake in 1693, new stones were cut, streets redesigned, avenues lengthened, and staircases and churches were remade in the Baroque style.

Scicli is only 15 minutes from Casa Serena, and will enchant any new visitor with its central pedestrian avenue, via Mormino Penna. The city has received new interest due to the fictional dramas, ‘Montalbano’ and ‘Vigata’.

Playa Granda beach is 6km from Casa Serena and is part of a protected nature reserve.
