Converted farmhouse, nestled in nature, with pool
An old farmhouse transformed into a Mediterranean villa with delicate and welcoming furnishings, with a private swimming pool and large green areas reserved for pure relaxation.

At 40 km you will find the famous beaches of Ragusa. Archaeological sites of immense value, such as the Greek temples of Agrigento and the Roman Villa del Casale, the Baroque masterpieces in the Val di Noto, and natural wonders such as the Scala dei Turchi can all be reached between 30 and 90 minutes by car.
Renovated with eco-sustainable materials and technologies, Villa Madera is an oasis where you can meet up with your family by the pool, where you can reconcile with nature in an immense garden and where you can start to enjoy the art of a rich and extraordinary Sicilian past.

We loved it! Our friends and family were 8 people and every couple essentially had a private apartment with their own bedroom and bathroom and each one had a private external entrance. The common areas inside and outside were excellent and the kitchen was phenomenal. The absolute best was Carmelo and Antonio. They we friendly, responsive and very helpful. They even shared their local honey with us. We loved it!!!!

Relaxed at a beautiful location and house
We were a group of 9 adults aged 28+. The check in process was easy and communicating with the hosts was quick and clear.
The place is even more beautiful than the pictures show. The hosts have 3 beautiful dogs. One of the dogs, Lily, is very comfortable around guests and super friendly.
The AC was much needed during our time as we had a heat wave the week we were staying, the temperature was 38°C and more whilst we were there. The pool was perfect for those extremely hot days.
There are plenty of communal places and the area is beautiful.
We'd like to thank our hosts again for their hospitality and their patience with our terrible Italian.
