Every bedroom opens from outside
All four bedrooms have independent exterior entrances. This suits adults and older children who enjoy their own space; parents of younger children should consider the separate access when choosing rooms.

The ExpertoItaly view
A pool with a view across Scicli
The town and surrounding limestone hills form the backdrop to Villa Stella’s pool and terraces. Start the day with a swim, enjoy breakfast outside and spend an afternoon among the gardens, with Scicli close enough for dinner.
Four double bedrooms each have an en-suite shower room and their own exterior entrance. Three are in the main building and one is in a detached wooden annex, giving couples, friends or a family with older children privacy within the same grounds.
