Villa Isola dei Porri - Holiday home at S.M. del Focallo/Ispica

Only 100 meters from the sandy dune beach

At the southernmost point of Sicily, near the town of Santa Maria del Focallo, lovely holiday home Villa Isola dei Porri, named for the small offshore island of "Porri", lies embedded in a green landscape and only 100 m from the sandy dune beach.

The gently sloping beach is perfect for (younger) children. Cooling off in the clear waters of the sea on hot summer days is a real delight, but so is simply walking barefoot, accompanied by the sounds of the sea, across the fine, golden sands of this 7 km stretch of beach.  

By the way: The coastal stretch is regularly awarded the Bandiera Blu for high water quality and cleanness. The beach is in fact cleaned every day.

Holiday home in fantastic surroundings

In the drive up to Villa Isola dei Porri, you are welcomed by and at first may be amazed at Sicily's lush vegetation. Magnificently green plants, a splendor of blossoms and the apricot coating of the house create a pleasant play of colors. You arrive and immediately feel at ease.

About half of the 2,000 m² property is reserved for the cultivation of citrus fruit. Within a small, fenced-in area behind the terrace, the owner raises turtles, which might appeal above all to our young guests. 

Spend relaxing days in the midst of a marvelous Sicilian landscape, surrounded by the delicious fragrance of lemons and caressed by the breeze drifting in from the sea.

With its lakes and lagoons it is a popular resting place for a great number of migratory birds on their long journey to or from Africa. Storks, flamingos and herons count among the over 180 different species.

The late Baroque and UNESCO World Heritage listed towns of Ispica, Noto and Modica are also easy to reach by car and absolutely worth a visit.
