Restored citrus retreat
Shaded by ancient carob trees inside a coastal nature reserve, this quiet retreat balances rustic stone with sunlit stillness.
What it’s good at
Notable
Restored stone arches and tufo walls paired with minimalist contemporary fixtures and earthy Mediterranean palettes.
Notable
An eighteenth-century agricultural masseria featuring original barrel-vaulted ceilings, exposed tufo stone, and weathered terracotta floor tiles.
Notable
A family estate inside Vendicari Nature Reserve serving fresh farm produce and olive oil in an Arab-style courtyard.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Walking trails lead through the Vendicari coastal reserve to secluded sandy beaches and lagoons visited by migratory pink flamingos.
The rooms
Rooms feature exposed tufo stone, wrought-iron beds, and weathered cotto tiles that open directly onto gravel paths and gardens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool sits bordered by dry stone walls and lawns, looking toward the surrounding citrus groves.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Dishes draw on regional Sicilian produce and estate olive oil, served beneath courtyard pergolas and on the orchard terrace.
How it began
Held by the Messina family for generations, this eighteenth-century agricultural farmstead was sensitively revitalised into an intimate country refuge.
