The house on the tide
At Marea, bright elegant interiors spill out onto a long shady verandah from where you may happily survey emerald green lawns and the tempting turquoise sea. These two elements are linked via a path leading from the garden down to a glorious sandy beach, winner of successive Blue Flag awards. All in all, an exemplary family summer house.

Marea is situated just a few miles from Capo Passero, whose lighthouse signals Italy’s southernmost 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 90mins 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 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 one right below the villa) have received several consecutive "Bandiere Blu", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence.

Amazing villa with the close ocean, you can hear the waves at night. Loved every minute of it. The kids loved the beach at the villa's doorstep.

Marea's garden and view and proximity to the beach is awesome. The housekeeper, who also cooked for us on three occasions is lovely. Her cooking is amazing and she is very friendly and accommodating.
