About the property
Inside
accommodation at Villa Farli is divided between the original manor house, a large guesthouse and three guesthouses in the grounds.The main house is on two levels and may be accessed from a several entrances. Most of the ground floor is given over to a large, open-plan and elegantly furnished living and dining space with three distinct areas: one has a fireplace, sofas and armchairs, the second is home to the dining table, while the third hosts another sitting area with television. A series of glass doors lead out into the gardens.
Just off the living area is a guest bathroom and a very large, extremely stylish and professionally equipped kitchen with another large dining table and easy access to the al fresco dining areas.
A spiral staircase takes one up to the first floor, where there are the three double bedrooms. Two have en-suite shower rooms (one up a few steps) and access to a shared, bougainvillea and jasmine-strewn balcony, while the third has an adjacent bathroom with sunken bath and its own private terrace. The main house may also be accessed via a side door that leads directly to the first floor.
About 10m to one side of the main house is the large guesthouse comprising an open-plan living and dining area and kitchen, four double bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, and a wellness room with sauna and hydromassage shower. Three of the bedrooms in the guesthouse may become twins with the addition of a single bed.
Accommodation is completed by three independently accessed guesthouses, each with its own bedroom (one double and two double-twins) and en-suite shower room. These are smaller and less luxurious than the other bedrooms, but comfortably furnished and welcoming.
Outside
Villa Farli is set in a large expanse of beautifully-kept walled garden featuring large expanses of lawn, and a wide variety of fragrant and colourful Mediterranean flowers, plants and trees. In one corner of the garden is a magnificent heatable pool with a large, stylishly furnished shaded area.Immediately in front of and behind the house are several shaded terrace areas that are ideal for outside dining, aperitifs or an afternoon snooze.

About the Area
Guests staying at Villa Farli are spoilt for sandy beaches and shallow turquoise waters. Just a five-minute drive away is the 1.7km-long beach of Sampieri, one of the loveliest in the southeast of Sicily. Also nearby, within a 10 to 30-minute drive are the beaches of Cava d'Aliga, Marina di Modica, Donnalucata and Marina di Ragusa, all of which have lidos, restaurants and water sports facilities. 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 culture and history, Villa Farli is extremely well positioned, just outside the delightful town of Scicli and close to the other baroque pearls of the Val di Noto UNESCO World Heritage Site, including Modica, Ragusa and Noto.
Scicli itself has a good range of restaurants, shops, bars, cafés and gelaterie, and its delightful old town centre is one of major locations used in the Inspector Montalbano TV series.
Slightly further afield, yet also within easy driving distance, is the multi-millennial town of Syracuse and the unspoilt beaches of coastal scenery of Vendicari Nature Reserve.
Considerations
Cats may be seen in the villa grounds. However, they will not enter the house unless encouraged to do so.

What stood out about Villa Farli for me were the lovely gardens, the pool, and the proximity to the sea. And the delicious food cooked by the chef.

Our stay at Villa Farli was magical. The villa itself is lovely, the owners are quite passionate and really caring, and our Local Specialist made the entire trip, every detail easy, really effortless. He made it amazing.

We had an incredible week with family and friends celebrating a combined 40th birthday at Villa Farli. The villa is absolutely lovely and perfect for families and groups with children (provided they are able to swim as the pool is open access) which will allow parents to relax, as was the case with our older kids. Wonderful weather, food, wine, beaches and lovely small towns are all nearby. Sicily is a great destination, we loved the simplicity of it all and the slow down from normal rushed life.

We are a family of 20 with small children and babies plus one man with a disability. The fact that there are 4 different sleeping areas made the holiday a success, as everyone had their own space when not together by the pool or meal times. The guest house has a ramp and once inside is extremely accessible (the ramp is quite steep and wouldn't be accessible without help) but each living area was extremely comfortable and the huge beautiful garden was a delight to be in. The pool area is also far enough away from the house to be safe for children. It is the most stunning pool area with lots of comfortable sun beds, and many chill-out areas.

Villa Farli far exceeded our already high expectations. The house and grounds are exceptionally beautiful, well maintained, with so many lovely appointments and aesthetically pleasing spaces. The villa and its surrounds are an oasis of peace, beauty and tranquillity in the loveliest settings. We enjoyed every minute of our visit to this very special place. Our hosts treated us with warmth, hospitality and exceptional service. We can’t recommend it more highly!

My friends and I had a wonderful experience at Villa Farli - so much so that we didn't want to leave on some days for excursions outside of the villa.
