Who does the villa suit?
The villa accommodates up to ten guests plus one additional place. Its varied bedrooms and separate annexe work particularly well for families with older children and friends happy to choose rooms with different layouts.
Ragusa · South-East Sicily
An art-filled stone country house with a substantial private pool, between Ragusa’s Baroque landscape and the south-eastern coast.
ExpertoItaly opinion
Old stone buildings, contemporary architecture and large artworks come together around Villa Colledi’s rural courtyard. The art studio and individual rooms give the house a character of its own, with plenty to catch your eye between days out.
Swim in the long pool, prepare lunch together and find a quiet corner on the terraces. Ragusa, Donnafugata and the coast are within reach by car, so a week can include Baroque streets, country-house gardens and sandy beaches.
Best for: two families with older children or teenagers, multigenerational groups and design-conscious friends. A car is essential. Stairs, changes of level and uneven stone surfaces make the house less suited to guests who need easy access; pool fencing is not confirmed.

Contemporary interventions sit deliberately within the old agricultural courtyard.

Art, stone and generous communal space define the interiors.
Planning your stay
The villa accommodates up to ten guests plus one additional place. Its varied bedrooms and separate annexe work particularly well for families with older children and friends happy to choose rooms with different layouts.
Colledi is advertised with five bedrooms, but the supplier’s detailed description also lists a loft sleeping space. We will confirm the room plan and beds for your group before booking.
The nearest shops, restaurants and everyday services are about 8 km away. Bring a car for meals out, beach visits and exploring Ragusa; private parking is provided.
The pool measures 14 × 5 metres and ranges from 0.20 to 1.90 metres deep; children need close supervision. Air conditioning is not listed, so please discuss this with us if it is essential to your summer stay.
Bedrooms and bathrooms

Published as five bedrooms
The main house has rooms on the ground and first floors, with double, twin and loft sleeping spaces. A double room in the separate annexe offers more independence. The room-plan check above ensures the beds suit everyone travelling.

Four shower rooms
The published layout includes four shower rooms in total, combining shared bathrooms in the main house with en-suite facilities for selected rooms and the annexe. Internal stairs, external steps and reduced headroom in the loft should be considered.
Time at the villa
Villa Colledi rewards a slower rhythm: swim, cook and eat together, then let different parts of the group find their own corner among the courtyard, terraces and art-filled rooms.

The 14 × 5 metre pool has a depth range of approximately 0.20–1.90 metres and is scheduled to open from April to October.

The restored agricultural buildings create several outdoor zones for sitting and moving between the main house and annexe. Stone surfaces and limited shade are part of the rural character.

The kitchen includes a five-burner hob, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, espresso machine, two fridges and a freezer.

Stone rooms, bold artworks and informal sitting and dining areas give the group several places to gather for a meal, conversation or a quiet evening indoors.

The separate annexe and creative spaces add flexibility and a distinct sense of place, especially for a group that appreciates art, architecture and some independence.

A welcome breakfast basket, midweek cleaning and linen and towel changes are included. A cook or additional housekeeping can be arranged at extra cost.
Villa amenities






Location
Villa Colledi sits in open countryside near Ragusa and Donnafugata, among dry-stone walls and the broad agricultural landscape of south-eastern Sicily. Its pool and generous grounds make quiet villa days an important part of the stay.
By car, the holiday can move between Ragusa’s Baroque streets, the castle at Donnafugata, Modica and Scicli, then the sandy coast at Punta Secca and Marina di Ragusa. Siracusa makes a longer day out, or an appealing second stay if you would like evenings in Ortigia as well as time in the countryside.

The pool sits within open Ragusa countryside framed by dry-stone walls.
From the villa
Ragusa’s churches, Modica’s chocolate shops and the beaches of Punta Secca bring variety to the week. Choose the outings you enjoy and leave time for the pool and courtyard.
Baroque city
Explore Ragusa Ibla’s limestone streets, churches and viewpoints, with time for lunch. On another morning, visit Donnafugata for its grand rooms and gardens.
Baroque landscape
Walk between Modica’s churches and chocolate shops, or spend a morning among Scicli’s palaces. Both reward an unhurried visit with time to sit in a square and enjoy the town.
Coast and countryside
Alternate a sandy-beach morning at Punta Secca or Marina di Ragusa with the inland stone towns. You can enjoy the coast, farmland and Baroque architecture during the same stay.
Longer cultural day
Siracusa is around 100 km away, so allow a full day for its archaeology and Ortigia’s waterfront streets. A few nights here after the villa also give you time for the city’s restaurants and evening atmosphere.
