Two double bedrooms for four
Both bedrooms have 160 × 190 cm double beds, and the villa has two shower rooms. All accommodation is on the ground floor.
Contemporary seaside villa in south-east Sicily
Step from the garden towards the sandy beach, cool off in a private plunge pool and dine with the sea in view. An intimate two-bedroom villa for four on the Santa Maria del Focallo coast.
Your holiday at Villa Lighea
The sea is part of every day at Villa Lighea. Full-height windows frame the coast, the terrace opens towards the water and the sandy beach is just ten metres from the property.
Local craft, restored pieces and contemporary Sicilian design give the interiors their character. Outside, a pergola, lounge seating and a shallow plunge pool invite long, easy days beside the sea.
Come as a couple for a quiet coastal stay, or share the two double bedrooms with friends or family. One bedroom is reached from outside, giving it a separate entrance from the terrace.

The terrace and shallow plunge pool sit immediately beside the coast.

Full-height glazing keeps the sea in view from the main living space.
Planning your stay
Both bedrooms have 160 × 190 cm double beds, and the villa has two shower rooms. All accommodation is on the ground floor.
The second double bedroom is reached from the terrace through its own external entrance; it does not connect internally to the main living space.
The sandy beach is effectively at the garden gate, but the nearest delicatessen is approximately 1.5 km away and the nearest restaurant 2.5 km. Private parking is provided within the property.
The salt-system pool measures 3 × 2 metres and is only 0.30–0.60 metres deep. It is open from 1 March to 30 November and can be heated to 26°C for €200 per week.
Bedrooms and bathrooms

Principal bedroom
The principal bedroom has a fixed 160 × 190 cm double bed and access to a shower room. Like the rest of the villa, it is on the ground floor and benefits from air conditioning and heat-pump heating.

Externally accessed bedroom
The second bedroom has a 160 × 190 cm double bed and access to the other shower room. It is reached from outside, directly from the terrace.
Time at the villa
Villa days move naturally between the terrace, the shallow plunge pool and the sandy beach just beyond the garden, with the house designed to keep the coast in view.

The sandy beach is about ten metres from the property, immediately beyond the garden. You can make the sea part of the day without taking the car.

Dip into the shallow salt-system plunge pool between time on the terrace and trips to the beach. It measures 3 × 2 metres, with depths of 0.30–0.60 metres and optional heating to 26°C.

Outdoor sofas, the pergola and solarium create several places to read, talk or watch the light change across the coast.

The dining terrace and barbecue make outdoor meals a natural part of the stay, with the sea forming the backdrop from morning to evening.

Full-height glazing fills the open living and dining room with light and sea views. The villa has approximately 80 m² of interior space.

It is equipped for straightforward self-catering, including a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, espresso machine and four-ring electric hob.






Location
Villa Lighea lies on the Santa Maria del Focallo coast, south of Ispica between Pozzallo and Marzamemi. Spend the morning beside the sea, linger over lunch on the terrace and watch the light change across the water in the evening.
Drive to Marzamemi for a harbour evening, explore the coast around Portopalo and Vendicari, or head inland to Noto, Modica, Scicli and Ragusa. A longer holiday can combine this seaside stay with a few nights in Siracusa or elsewhere in Sicily.

A seaside base for beach days and exploring the south-east by car.
From the villa
Between days on the terrace and beach, explore fishing villages, baroque towns and ancient Siracusa.
Baroque towns
Enjoy a morning in Noto, discover Modica’s chocolate shops or stroll through Scicli’s baroque streets. Leave time for lunch and the atmosphere of each town.
Coast and nature
Spend a day along the coast, walking beside the sea at Vendicari or exploring Portopalo. Finish in Marzamemi with a stroll around the harbour and dinner.
Hill town
Explore the viewpoints and stairways between Ragusa Superiore and Ibla, then linger in the cathedral square or stop for lunch among the baroque lanes.
Ancient city
Visit the Neapolis archaeological park, then cross to Ortigia for its market, piazzas and waterfront. About 67 km from the villa, Siracusa is a rewarding full-day outing.
