Description

With its beautiful towns, its rugged green landscape crisscrossed with drystone walls, its long sandy beaches and rich historical and architectural legacy, Ragusa is perhaps Sicily’s most immediately appealing province. Add to this the opportunity to stay in a comfortable and elegant villa, and you have all the ingredients you need for an unforgettable holiday.
Villa Festosa is a contemporary villa, that re-invents the elements of the country houses typical of the ragusana area, with extensive outdoor spaces and large rooms organised in an intelligent and practical way. The gardens are still in their infancy, but will soon be lush and mature.
The main house is on three levels. The main living level is reached by a flight of steps from the garden, and consists of a kitchen, a splendid outdoor dining area, and a living room with another comfortable terrace furnished with two sofas. On the next level up is an attic with two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and private terraces. On the ground floor level are another three bedrooms, each with its own large bathroom, and a spacious reception room opening on the garden. There is also a guest bathroom.
The extensive garden includes a lawn and swimming pool (20m by 8m, part of it deep enough for diving) and a sunbathing area. The villa is also located just 300m from the sandy beach of Caucana.
Great attention has been paid to furnishings and decor, with occasional eccentric and individual touches that reflect the eclectic and artistic taste of the owners.

Surroundings

Kaukana (or Caucana), with its two magnificent fine-sand beaches, is the seaside area of Santa Croce Camerina in the province of Ragusa, on Sicily’s southern coast. It occupies the area once covered by an ancient Greek colony, and, later, a Roman-Byzantine port. The archaeological site is a few hundred metres from the seaside village of Punta Secca, famous in Italy as the location of Commissario Montalbano’s beach house in the popular TV drama series, Montalbano, based on the books by Andrea Camilleri (which are translated into English, and make great holiday reading). Indeed locations throughout the area have starring roles in the TV series – including several fascinating towns which have been declared World Heritage sites by UNESCO for their Baroque architecture: Ragusa Ibla, Scicli, Modica, Noto. For more contemporary pleasures, there is the resort of Marina di Ragusa, with its splendid new yachting marina, and, a few kilometres from Caucana, the recently opened Donnafugata golf resort, with two 18-hole professional standard courses, one designed by Gary Player, the other by Franco Piras.
