Casa delle Sirene is a little corner of paradise on the beach near Sicily's (and Italy's) southernmost point. The garden gate leads out over the dunes to a golden sandy beach, bordered by the low white cliffs of a promontory and the blue waters of the sea – a chromatic synthesis of the Mediterranean!

The Area

Casa delle Sirene is situated just a few miles from Capo Passero, whose lighthouse signals Italy’s most meridional point – considerably further south than Tunis/

The coast is almost entirely given over to long sandy beaches, the very same ones landed on by British and Canadian forces during Operation Huskey in the 2nd World War.

Just to the west is the port of Pozzallo from where, in just 90 minutes by hydrofoil, it is possible to get to Malta.

To the north is the splendid Baroque town of Noto, Syracuse, once the mightiest city in Magna Graecia and Vendicari Nature Reserve, home to beautiful unspoilt beaches, migrating flamingoes and nesting turtles. Less than an hour's drive to the west are the other splendid towns of the Val di Noto UNESCO Heritage Site, Modica and Scicli, and, a little further afield, Ragusa.

The beaches in the area of Pozzallo and Ispica (including the beach outside the house) have received several consecutive "Bandiere Blu", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence.

An illustration of a guest book

Casa delle Sirene was wonderful. We particularly enjoyed the excellent service at the villa and from The Thinking Traveller.

Mrs Raeleen Wright, Australia September 2017

Casa delle Sirene is a fabulous place: the villa is delightful; the beach outside clean and not crowded; and the location is logistically convenient for cultural treks.

CC, United Kingdom September 2017

We enjoyed it all... it was exactly what we needed. The availability of the Beach Club was a big plus.

Verified guest, June 2017

We had an excellent holiday at Casa delle Sirene. The owner went above and beyond. We arrived really late and she'd organised some yummy food for us.

Mrs Charlotte Gibbon, United Kingdom June 2017

Casa delle Sirene was a joy and especially for us as we like to cook and use the wonderful ingredients. It was so fun to be there! The owner thought of everything and so appreciated. A 5 (out of 5) all around. Casa delle Sirene might have spoiled us for renting other villas.

Mrs Megene Forker, United States of America February 2017

Casa della Sirene was great - loved the cosy fire. Lucia's welcome (and welcome pack) - great.
