The pool is in a fantastic seafront position.
The lovely courtyard with its Mediterranean plants.
The perfect spot for working on your tan.
The sea gate gives direct access to the transparent waters below.
The tempting pool.
The location of the L'Olivastro right by the sea was fabulous and we were pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to get into the rocky cove there. It was a favourite for everyone in every generation. The tip to bring rock shoes was very helpful. It was spacious and well set up for a stay with extended family, beautifully decorated, very well stocked, and well-positioned for easy access to beaches and sightseeing. We had a fabulously relaxing time spending time together.

Inside
accommodation at L'Olivastro is spread over the main house and an adjacent guesthouse. In the main house, a hallway leads directly into the generously proportioned and effortlessly elegant living room with fireplace. A series of French windows bring in the fabulous sea views and provide access to a large, shady terrace that looks over the pool and the sea.Connected to the living area is the light, airy dining room and a lovely kitchen with yet more inspiring sea views. Towards the other end of the house are two welcoming, bright and spacious bedrooms, two double-twin bedrooms. One has an en-suite shower room, the other a shower room next door.
The guesthouse, which is accessed independently from the gardens, has a living area with day bed, a double-twin bedroom and a shower room on the ground floor, and a smaller twin bedroom with adjacent shower room on the mezzanine. This latter is suitable for younger members of your group.
A lower level of the main house accesses two large terraces and contains changing rooms and showers for those re-entering after a hard day’s swimming and sunbathing!
Outside
a luxuriant, perfumed Mediterranean garden featuring numerous varieties of palms, yuccas, cactuses, bougainvillea and jasmine surrounds Villa L’Olivastro, giving way to large expanses of inviting terracotta-paved terraces that are perfect for soaking up the sun during the day and dining al fresco by night.Just 20 metres away lies the sea! A pool on the lowest, sea-facing terraced makes this villa truly complete.

About the Area
Fontane Bianche is just a few kilometres south of Syracuse and its white sandy beach has made it a popular resort for the well to do of that prosperous and historical town.
Ideally placed as a base to visit the south east of Sicily, the villa is about fifteen minutes from Syracuse and Noto, an hour from Ragusa or Catania and and hour and a half from Taormina or Mount Etna.
For those in search of the outdoors, there is some good walking in the nature reserves of Cassibile and Pantalica and some wonderful deserted beaches at Capo Passero and the Vendicari Nature Reserve (where you may also see migrating flamingos or even turtles).
Considerations
Some areas of this property may be overlooked.
The sea access in front of this property is via rocks and so may not be possible to use if the sea is rough. Please note that it can get busy in July and August.

L'Olivastro is a stunning venue with a family feel. The facilities make it feel like home from home. Swimming from the rocky shore with the wonderful range of fish was an added positive. Super venue to explore the Syracuse area.
Christopher Coe, visited September 2025
L'Olivastro is a very well organized and calm villa, with a nice and efficient cleaning lady, views on the sea, breeze (not too hot), very convenient, incredible cactus collection. The sea is just down the villa with rocky beach, sea water incredibly warm. We really liked our stay.
