Casa Malavilla

The structure is located in the context of a traditional Sicilian manor farm and it is dipped in a natural landscape of walls dry-stone, olive trees and carob trees to approximately 3 km from Santa Croce Camerina, 8 km from the sea and 14 km from Ragusa.

Casa Malavilla was first re-structured in the early nineties when its stables were converted into a comfortable country house. Recently the large barn has also been completely re-built and converted into two apartments, each with its own veranda with a full view of the park grounds and of the valley and sea beyond.

The original body of Casa Malavilla and grounds is composed of a large courtyard (constructed with the local limestone) which separates the primary building, inhabited by the owners of the property, from the building which was once used for the preparing of cheeses and ricotta. This second building, now called "Casa di Gina", was later re-structured and transformed into a guest house, a house which is well-furnished, with a matrimonial bedroom (room with one double bed), a bedroom with two beds, a living room, bathroom with shower, and a spacious, well-supplied kitchen.

lso at our guests' disposal , is a wide "loggia" (open stone porch with roof), ideal for lunching during the hotter hours of the day. A little limestone path connects the courtyard to the two apartments recently created from the restructuring of the barn:"Casa di Grazia" and "Casa di Giovanni".

Each of these apartments is composed of a matrimonial bedroom (with double bed), a bathroom with shower and a living room with couch bed and a well-furnished kitchen area. Both apartments are provided with a wide terrace, from which one can enjoy magnificent sunsets over the sea as well as nice view across the hills laden with olive and almond trees.

All the houses at our guests' disposal are furnished with air-conditioning units (both hot and cold), TV, washing machine, wireless connection to the internet, barbecue, wood stove, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, ping-pong table, beach umbrella and chairs.
The houses of Malavilla are now inserted in a beautiful garden where roses, geraniums, jasmines and various flowering bushes abound along with various long-trunked trees (jacarandas, cypress trees, pine trees and others) and a numerous family of stocky Sicilian palm trees. An abundant English lawn and a wide longish pool with aquatic floating plants  make Malavilla the ideal place for a real relaxation, enjoying the silence and tranquility of the refreshingly soft-breezed gentle summer evenings in our little park grounds.
