Masseria d'Estia was beautiful. We loved all the little touches and how well it was equipped. The local staff were amazing. They couldn’t do enough to be helpful and to make our stay as perfect as possible. We loved the idea of having our breakfast prepared - it was such a treat.

Verified guest, June 2025

Masseria d'Estia was stunning and a perfect space for five couples to gather. The indoor and outdoor spaces were so inviting. The chef and the housekeepers were wonderful and enriched our experience.

Verified guest, September 2025

Masseria d'Estia was even better than it appeared in the pictures. We were amazed by the lovely atmosphere, interior, details, all the equipment available for us travelling with kids (toys etc), and lovely staff and great service. We would love to stay there again as it was so great and really fulfilled all our needs.

The Area

Masseria d'Estia is ideally located for those who love both lazing on sandy beaches and exploring fascinating, historic towns.

The sandy beach of Marina di Ragusa is just a 10-minute drive away and there are many other beaches along the coast (including Donnalucata, Cava d'Aliga, Punta Secca and Sampieri) that are between 15 and 25 minutes' drive. The beaches in the area of Marina di Ragusa have received several consecutive "Bandiere Blu", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence.

In terms of beautiful towns oozing history, Masseria d'Estia could hardly be better placed: the UNESCO-protected Baroque pearls of Scicli, Modica, Ragusa and Noto.

Syracuse is also within easy driving distance as are the quiet beaches of the Nature Reserve at Vendicari.

Finally, for fans of Montalbano, a visit to Punta Secca, home to the Inspector's house, is a must.
