The Experience
A welcome aperitivo on the terrace, with stunning coastal views. This supremely stylish farmhouse (rebuilt with the original stone by owners Cinzia and Dario) has the feel of a family home with all the trappings of a boutique hotel.
The terraced gardens are made for outdoor living: sun-soaked poolside loungers and tree-shaded courtyards for quiet afternoon reading. Planting echoes the rugged mountain scrub with natives, succulents and maritime pine; rosemary and lavender scent the air over a light lunch by the infinity pool.
Your room, in muted tones, is a cool refuge. All have splendid bathrooms and a private patio; choose between sea views or garden-facing. Breakfasts of fresh ricotta, cured meats and pastries are served on the main terrace. Take a drive along scenic mountain roads to the baroque city of Scicli, or spend the day sipping spritzes and people watching at the beach clubs in Sampieri.

A well run rural hotel close to the major historic towns of SE Sicily. Great effort is made to make your stay enjoyable. Diner can be provided at a reasonable price which is a great advantage if you have been touring all day and don’t want to drive in the evening. There is a lovely swimming pool. Roccaseta is an excellent base if you wish to drive to different towns and beaches. Cinzia, the owner is the most welcoming host.

An amazing place to escape the craziness of life, only 4 minutes away from the beautiful beach of Sampieri and approx 10 minutes from the beauty of Scicli. Ombretta was amazing, we had great breakfast and he pasta dinner the linguini con limone is amazing!!! The place is so beautiful surrounded by trees and chirping birds with a lovely sea view. Staff were great, and our top attraction was the loveable Gwenda the playful loving dog. The dimora has charging stations for electric cars which was perfect and a peace of mind for us. The style of the dimora, the books and French style is wow.

Location
The neighbourhood
You're in a small neighbourhood that tumbles down the hill towards the sea. Nearby houses and farms growing Sicily's prized tomatoes are screened by trees. Nearby Gli Aromi nursery showcases local aromatic plants – book a tasting or cooking lesson. Walk 30 minutes to the beach at Sampieri for local sea food at PataPata. The baroque city of Scicli is 8km and the nearest train station is Modica, 18km.
Local points of interest from Elisa Pautasso
- The city of Scicli, pronounced Sheek-lee, it’s one of many striking baroque cities to see in Sicily and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Scicli Town Hall - Aside from being known for its beautiful baroque architecture, Scicli is most known for its famous TV detective. Commissario Montalbano (Inspector Montalbano) is an Italian TV series based on the novels of Andrea Camilleri.
- Marvel at Palazzo Benevento - It isn’t the first palace of its name that you can find around Sicily. There’s also one in Ortygia, which I list as one of 7 unmissable sights to see in Syracuse.
- Palazzo Spadaro - A short walk from Palazzo Beneventano is the former noble palace, Palazzo Spadaro. Its most fascinating features are the 8 balconies with wrought-iron railings in geometric and floral motifs.
- If you’re planning on spending a few nights in Scicli, you may be interested in visiting the coast. While Scicli itself doesn’t have a sea, it does have the largest waterfront among all of the municipalities of Ragusa.
- Scicli has an impressive number of restaurants for a town of its size. La Grotta Scicli has excellent Sicilian food in a unique cave restaurant; Prosit Sicilian Bistrot is a great bistrot-style Sicilian food and with decent prices.

Introducing
Elisa Pautasso
The well-travelled Pautasso family, Cinzia and Dario, came from the very north of Italy to the very south for the splendid weather and a slower pace of life. After painstakingly rebuilding the farmhouse from original stone, they now spend most of the year here. It's a family affair – the owners welcome you along with their charming local team, and their daughter Elisa looks after the marketing.
We thought Roccaseta was exceptional! It sits on an elevated site. Our room had a beautiful view across the swimming pool to the sea beyond. It showed all the signs of a thoughtful and tasteful renovation. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Cinzia, the owner, was very welcoming and took care to get to know her guests. Although we visited in the middle of May, we were slightly disappointed to find some of the restaurants at the coast were not yet open in the evening. But the nearby village of Scicli had a number of very nice restaurants.
