Villa Avila is a restored rural farmhouse set in a peaceful countryside position near Scicli, one of south-east Sicily’s most characterful baroque towns. Surrounded by open land that shifts colour with the seasons, the setting feels private and spacious, without being isolated.

The villa has been carefully restored and converted into a comfortable private residence, retaining the character of the original building while introducing modern comforts throughout. Interiors are warm and welcoming, designed for groups who value space, calm, and a slower rhythm of life.

Although rural in atmosphere, the villa is only a short drive from the coast and works well as a base for exploring beaches, fishing villages, and the cultural highlights of the Val di Noto.

Outdoor space is central to daily life at Villa Avila. Wide terraces surround the house, furnished for relaxed dining and long afternoons outdoors. The infinity pool sits slightly apart, overlooking the surrounding landscape and providing open views in all directions.

A natural garden frames the property without formal landscaping, reinforcing the sense of space and quiet. Barbecue facilities, shaded seating, and an external shower make outdoor living practical and informal.

Inside, the villa maintains the same understated tone. Rooms are spacious and uncluttered, with natural materials, soft colours, and furnishings chosen for comfort rather than display.

The interiors reflect the building’s rural origins, updated with a contemporary sensitivity. Natural stone, wood, and traditional finishes are combined with modern fittings and reliable technology.

All rooms are air-conditioned, and the layout — spread largely over one level — supports easy circulation and shared living without feeling crowded. A fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere outside the summer months.

• Large living room with fireplace
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Six double bedrooms (one in a loft), all with en-suite bathrooms
• Bathrooms finished to a high standard, designed for everyday comfort

This layout works well for extended families or groups, balancing shared living areas with private sleeping spaces.
