Borgo SanCono
Sleeps 6 to 10
A typical Sicilian country villa that is also near the beaches of Capo D’Orlando,   with extensive grounds and a swimming pool.

The original structure of Borgo San Cono, a typical aristocratic country home, dates back to the 17th century. Additional wings were added over the centuries to make the home larger and more comfortable, while maintaining its features as a fortified stronghold dominating the vast surrounding estate of around 50 hectares planted with citrus and olive trees. This continued up to the early 20th century when the home achieved its current appearance.
The long driveway, shaded by olive, almond and oak trees, immediately transmits the sensation of charm and tranquillity that is a feature of Borgo San Cono.
The extensive grounds contain plenty of surprises, from the magnificent vegetation to the ruins of an ancient Byzantine convent, which has been excavated in recent years by German and Austrian archaeologists. There is also an ancient farm building, the sheepcote, where ricotta and cheese are still produced today, as well as plenty of corners where you can relax and enjoy a magnificent sea view over the Aeolian Islands and the explosion of colours of the luxuriant nature that the estate is blessed with.

Villa Oasi – Vendicari
Sleeps 8
Features: Spartan elegance within the magnificent Vendicari nature reserve

For those who love nature, the Vendicari reserve is a true paradise.
However,    you could visit the reserve for years, without ever noticing this enchanting villa, so perfectly in harmony is it with the landscape that surrounds it.
More than anything, this is because the villa has been there for centuries, part of an ancient farm overlooking Vendicari’s salt lakes and their numerous migratory birds. It is an authentic country house, surrounded by vast fields, rebuilt with flawless sensitivity and respect for the unique landscape in which it is set. This is a delicate and minimalist restoration, yet one that is functional and perfectly adapted for anyone wanting a calm and tranquil holiday amid one of Europe’s most enchanting natural oases. For example, an ancient drinking trough has been transformed into a swimming pool (2m x 10m).
Whitewashed walls and simple rustic furniture of distressed wood suffuse the house with the atmosphere of a Sicilian country house of many years ago. Add to this the space and light of this landscape, and you have everything you need for a unforgettable holiday.
