The Area

Nido 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, Nido d'Estia could hardly be better placed: the UNESCO-protected Baroque pearls of Scicli, Modica, Ragusa and Noto. Siracusa 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.

Nido d'Estia was in perfect condition and the staff were excellent and most accommodating. The location is ideal to visit many of the nearby historical towns and lovely beaches.

JW, United Kingdom September 2019

All was fantastic at Nido d'Estia.

KB, United States of America September 2019

Nido d'Estia is stunning. The interior is beautifully furnished, well equipped and super comfortable. We loved being surrounded by the countryside with the views out to the turquoise blue sea. It was so quiet and with so many chairs outdoors to relax in (the swing chair being my favourite), it was very hard to leave the property when the sun was shining! We felt so looked after - the caretakers were really lovely and helpful. We arrived to a fridge full of food, including fresh orange juice, which was ideal after a long drive, and a huge bowl of delicious pasta.

NB, United Kingdom October 2018

Everything was outstanding at Nido d'Estia. The private chefs were wonderful. The masseuse was possibly the best we have ever encountered. The breakfast baskets were truly outstanding and surprising.

AR, United Kingdom October 2018

Nido d'Estia is a beautifully presented and comfortable villa that exceeded expectations.
