Il Giardino Dei Limoni 8

Immersed in the greenery of a lemon grove, amongst the scent of lemons and the gardens of Ispica, Il Giardino dei Limoni enjoys a strategic position not far from the best destinations in eastern Sicily, such as the Baroque towns of Ragusa, Noto and Syracuse, the beach of Carratois, located at the extreme corner of Sicily where the two seas meet, or the famous Vendicari Nature Reserve with the beach of Calamosche, awarded as one of the most beautiful in Italy. The surrounding land of four hectares is planted with lemon groves and pervades the air with the scents of orange blossom and lemon. The villa is surrounded by a garden with lawn, mature trees and aromatic herbs. Here you can relax sunbathing by the pool, playing ping-pong or grilling on the large brick barbecue. Alternatively, you can opt for the newly-built spa with large windows overlooking the lemon groves. The complex, consisting of the main villa and an annex, in rustic Sicilian style and with a variety of local artefacts, offers a simple and welcoming interior. The dining and living area is an intimate space where you can gather around the table, the kitchen reflects the old Sicilian style with its majolica tiles and beautiful stone worktop. The structure, already well protected from the summer heat, enjoys air conditioning in both the living room and the bedrooms. Il Giardino dei Limoni is excellently located for combining culture, sea and gastronomic tours. Just 6 km away are some of the most beautiful Sicilian beaches such as Santa Maria del Focallo, a popular destination for kitesurfers with delicious fish restaurants and kiosks where you can enjoy an aperitif at sunset.
