Overview
Villa Stilaro is a charming two-bedroom villa in the historically rich Province of Ragusa, a stone’s throw from the culture, cuisine and coastline for which Sicily has earnt its reputation!
As you arrive and enter through the majestic set of double gates you are welcomed by a huge parking area lined by interesting plants, trees and flowers. Entry to the villa brings you into the spacious kitchen, straight ahead. Modern, high-quality appliances ensure you can prepare everything from a light snack to a hearty feast, with a small breakfast table providing the first of three dining options in the property.
A set of patio doors open directly to the outdoor dining area and the garden. The main living area, slightly detached from the kitchen, has a set of comfortable sofas and chairs alongside a beautiful, brightly lit dining area. Large windows to one side and huge patio doors to the other ensure fresh air can flow throughout the room, but if you decide you need to cool down a little, simply pop on the air con, available in both the living area and the double room.
There are two bedrooms, one double and one triple, each filled with natural light and with lovely traditional wooden ceilings. As well as air conditioning, the double room has a great view onto the garden and plenty of storage. The twin room has two comfortable single beds on one level and a third single bed on the mezzanine floor above. This is ideal for families travelling with young children as kids will love the excitement of their own space and the bunk-style bed under eaves. A large family bathroom with a double shower and heated towel rail completes the interior facilities.
The vast garden area is a real delight. The private pool is the perfect place to enjoy a morning dip or an afternoon of fun with the family, complete with a diving board at one end! A shaded seating area is a lovely spot to perch with a good book and enjoy the fine weather. Cook up a storm on the traditional stone barbeque, complete with sink area and enjoy an alfresco meal at the cosy outdoor dining table. A useful outdoor shower ensures you can wash off without even stepping inside.
Just 3km away is the stunning Baroque town of Modica and only a short drive southward will bring you to the charming beaches of Pozzallo.
What you should know…
- While we’re sure most children would be delighted to have their own private space in the mezzanine area, it is accessed by a steep hanging staircase and may not be to everyone’s taste.
- Modica has some steep and winding streets and stairways, many of them cobbled, so take some good walking shoes.
- A car is highly recommended to explore the local area.
- The pool is not fenced, please exercise care if traveling with young children.
- Please note that published rates are only valid for the current year. Any bookings for subsequent years will be on request only and correct rates will be confirmed at the time of booking.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa StilaroVilla Stilaro offers an array of charming bars and restaurants that can be found in the nearby exquisite city of Modica, just 3km away, while a fabulous beach awaits in Pozallo, 13km south.
Thanks to a 1693 earthquake that flattened large parts of this Eastern section, and the ensuing creative rebuild, Sicily is famous for the architecture which spawned from this disaster, producing something that looks more like a film set than a functioning town! Nearby Syracuse, Ragusa and Catania exhibit this beautiful Sicilian Baroque style, and the baroque towns of the Noto Valley, including Ispica, Ragusa and Noto, and the picturesque beaches of Fontane Bianche and Spiaggia della Marchesa are just a short drive away. Further exciting day trips include visiting the fishing village of Marzamemi, exploring nearby sandy beaches and visiting the Vendicari nature reserve, known for its flamingos.
Sicily is a diverse and beautiful island on the southern tip of Italy, famous for its exquisite wine and gastronomy (largely Mediterranean cuisine with strong hints of Arabic and Spanish influence), interesting architecture, and its picturesque rugged coastline. The island’s capital, Palermo, has a thriving nightlife and many wonderful opportunities for sightseeing.
Catch a ferry across to Malta from the Pozzallo port, just 13km away, to explore another fabulous Mediterranean island!

Fantastic stay
We stayed in Villa Stilaro for two weeks. The villa was great and the pool was fantastic. We were greeted very warmly, and everything was arranged very well. The villa was clean, had fresh supplies in the fridge and the owners respond fast. Great service! There is a lot to see and do in south east Sicily. The villa is a great base to discover archaeological sites, old towns and nice beaches!

Very warm welcome
We had a wonderful honeymoon with our kids. An amazing pool with a lovely sun and beautiful garden. We had a very warm welcome. The house and surroundings are even better in real life than on the website! Our children ate the best pizza ever!

Beautiful villa
Fantastic villa in ideal location in South East Sicily. This was our first visit to Sicily and we loved every minute of our stay. Villa Stilaro is so well equipped and our welcome from the owners was so personal and their attention was evident throughout. The facilities were superb and we just loved the pool and outdoor seating area and BBQ! The area has so much to offer but the highlight for us was relaxing in such a beautiful villa.
