Masseria Gargallo has been conceived by its owner, a well-known jewellery designer, as a colourful and ingeniously inventive homage to Sicilian artistry and craftsmanship. The original features and floors of the property have been retained wherever possible, and furnishings, fabrics and fittings are a fascinating mix of the contemporary and the traditional. Outside, beautifully tended gardens wrap around the property, culminating in the pièce de résistance, an utterly irresistible pool.

Masseria Gargallo is a fab villa in a wonderful position. The interiors are incredibly eclectic, the pool and grounds amazing. The housekeeper and cook was a wonderful person.
Peter Collins July 2025
Masseria Gargallo is an impressive and spacious villa that had the charm of old features but with the comforts needed for modern living. Having the freedom of a villa and the luxury of a caretaker, cook and housekeeper was perfect. We would return because we had such a lovely time and there are still things to do!

Masseria Gargallo had so much personality and is in a super location to visit Ortigia and the beautiful coastline. We had a fabulous week in a wonderful villa with excellent support before and during our stay. We would return to Masseria Gargallo because it had everything we wanted and needed.

The Area
Masseria Gargallo sits just outside the fascinating, historic and beautiful town of Syracuse, whose beating heart, the island of Ortygia, boasts one of Italy's loveliest piazzas and a maze of charming streets lined with independent shops, restaurants and bars. Neapolis, just outside the centre, is home to a fabulous archaeological site and museum, both of which we heartily recommend. Also within easy driving distance of Masseria Gargallo are the white sandy beaches of Fontane Bianche, and a cluster of must-see towns, including Noto, Modica and Ragusa. A little further afield but well worth the trip are Catania and Mount Etna.
