Art, the sky and the sea
A stay at Lo Scarabeo is an aquatic feast for the senses, where the metronomic rhythm of the surf, the invigorating, ozone-rich air, the eye-defying expanse of sea and the silky-soft sandy beach accompany your every moment. Aesthetic sensibilities are catered for too, thanks to the owners' keen and imaginative eye for design and an eclectic mix of iconic contemporary and antique furnishings and objets.

Lo Scarabeo sits right on Granelli beach, a 4.5km-stretch of sand just to the west of Capo Passero, whose lighthouse signals Italy’s most meridional point – considerably further south than Tunis.
The coastline 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 flamingos and nesting turtles.
Less than an hour's drive northwest 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 have received several consecutive Blue Flags, attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence.
