Location:
Villa Suprema sits in a peaceful location within Southeastern Sicily, with other holidays homes dotted along the same country road and a good choice of amenities nearby. A handful of restaurants, bars and cafés as well as handy grocery stores and supermarkets can be found in the local town just 3km away.
Modica is a 15-minute drive away and is a town filled with Baroque architecture and historic sites including the Duomo di San Pietro and Duomo di San Giorgio. It’s also famous for its chocolate, which is made from a very old recipe that first came from the Aztecs. Tour a museum to learn more about its history and be sure to buy some delicious chocolate before you leave.
Scicli can also be reached in just 15 minutes. This little town was once devastated by an earthquake in 1693 but was rebuilt in the Sicilian Baroque style. Today it’s a joy to wander around and is filled with pretty palazzi and lovely churches.
Visit the UNESCO-listed city of Ragusa and explore the beautiful gardens of Giardino Ibleo, the Duomo di San Giorgio and the Museo Archeologico. 20km away, the city is known for being one of the main filming locations of Inspector Montalbano and also boasts incredible views from its hilltop perch.
The Cava D’Ispica is 13km away and a must-visit when staying in the area. Here you will find ancient cave homes and burial sites from the Middle Ages carved into the mountain. It’s a fascinating place and offers a glimpse into Sicily’s past.
A 45-minute drive takes you to the UNESCO World Heritage town of Noto, another example of striking Sicilian architecture. It has an array of nice bars and restaurants and the Corso Vittorio Emanuele walkway, which passes palazzi and churches, is one of the highlights of the town.
Syracuse can be reached in a little over an hour and is a wonderful city to spend a day trip exploring. Its main attraction is the old town called Ortigia, with its display of ornate façades and its vibrant atmosphere. Visit the ancient Greek theatre, Teatro Greco, which is still used for performances to this day.
The glistening coastline is also just a short distance away. Sampiere, Donnalucata and Marina di Modica can all be reached in around 25 minutes and boast stunning stretches of sandy beach with crystal-clear water ideal for swimming in.
