The Experience

The feel is remote, the views are superb. From the infinity pool and through the glass walls of the living area you look over a canyon, typical of the area and archaeologically fascinating; the Ionian Sea is to your left, hills all around. You just want to stand, or float, and stare. To reach this dramatic spot – only 20 minutes’ drive from sandy beaches – you wind slowly up through the Monti Iblei – the Hyblaean Mountains.

The villa is on two levels, its lines inspired by contemporary architecture, the bathrooms with Mount Etna lava stone sinks, and simple, comfortable bedrooms (two on the ground floor, one up a few stairs); bedheads are colourfully tiled Sicilian-style. Living spaces are uncluttered, open plan and full of light – and those stunning views.

There’s a playground under the shade of olive trees and a garden; you can shop in Cassibile (where the armistice between Italy and the Allies was signed in 1943). Nearby are UNESCO historic towns Syracuse and Noto to explore.

Reviews

Villa Domus is a minimalistic, airy abode surrounded by the idyllic Sicilian countryside dotted with carob and olive trees. The abundance of light, the clean geometries, the polished surfaces and the stunning infinity pool overlooking the canyon far to the sea, make it the ideal stop for an international traveller seeking a private location with a blend of contemporary spirit and Sicilian touches.
Inspected Luca Sawday's Inspector

We enjoyed the most fun family holiday at Villa Domus with our 4-year-old at the end of May/June 2022. Its private and peaceful location gave 100% VIP vibes! The villa is gorgeous and fully kitted out with everything you could need. We loved the (very) cool pool and lounge area - we could have spent the whole holiday here if the beautiful Spiaggia La Marchesa and restaurants of Siracusa weren't a short drive away. Andrew is a true gent and made us feel welcome even before we got there! We will be back!

Location

The neighbourhood

The villa is surrounded by olive trees and deeply immersed in the countryside for lovely walks, perhaps in the cool of the evening. Beaches and restaurants are at Fontane, 6kms away. The town of Avola where the famous red wine Nero D'Avola is made is 10kms away. The beautiful town of Noto is a 25-minute drive - don't miss the cathedral which is listed among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites.

Local points of interest from Andrew Muscat

  • The Cavagrande di Cassible Nature Reserve is only a 15 minutes' drive away. It is a majestic and evocative nature reserve with beautiful freshwater lakes. For nature lovers, there are ample places to walk and trek in unspoilt and beautiful countryside.
  • See Villa Domus in The Times: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/its-still-summer-in-sicily-the-top-island-stays-h86qsbm9l
  • The Villa is ideally located for exploring the UNESCO World Heritage towns of Syracuse (30 minutes' away) and Noto (20 minutes' away). About an hour's drive are other historic towns such as Scicli, Modica and Ragusa Ibla.
  • Most famous of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Sicily is Mount Etna - a two hours' drive away. It is the largest volcano in Europe and often erupts! You can spend a day exploring various areas or hike with local guides.
  • If you enjoy cooking, you should visit the Ortigia food market in Syracuse for daily fresh fish and locally grown vegetables at very decent prices!
  • And if swimming is your things, head to the lovely sandy beaches with pristine water at Fontane Bianche and Spiaggia La Marchese - only 15 minutes' drive away.
