Your holiday at Villa Amalia

Beach mornings and afternoons in your own garden

Breakfast beneath the pergola, a walk to the beach, then a swim before lunch: Villa Amalia makes a coastal holiday wonderfully easy. San Lorenzo’s sandy shore is about 400 metres away, while the 12-metre pool and Mediterranean garden give you plenty of space to enjoy at home.

The house is arranged entirely on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms and two shower rooms. Head into Marzamemi for an evening around the harbour, or spend a day exploring Vendicari, Noto or Siracusa.
