$ The swimming pool is covered and should be usable throughout the year since the cover will keep it warm during the winter and safe during the summer if you have babies. The cover also allows us to use less chemicals to keep it clean and avoids that animals go in and drawn in it.

*This villa has been published several times on architecture reviews and glossy magazines, I don t think I can put the links here, but once you ve booked I ll be eager to point you out to the right links

**We re setting this up as sleeping 10 people there technically could sleep 2 more people in a tent that I provide in the tree house and if necessary two more beds could be added inside. There are 4 bedrooms and two living-rooms with two double sofa beds. There are 3 full bathrooms + 2 hot showers outside. Are you more than 8 people? Let s talk and see if this is suitable for you before you book ;)

$$ We provide biodegradable toilet paper, bio shampoo, bio soap, detergent for the dishwasher (bio and not bio for extra cleaning), the washing machine uses active oxygen, ozone and UV rays do clean the clothes, no need for detergents, only cold water.

$$$ We built a professional stone BBQ that you are welcome to use. It is provided with a sink and fresh water supply on the side. Please do take every precaution when using it especially during the summer

My garden was meant to be an edible garden (oregano, salvia, time, myrtle, rosemary etc), growing up it mixed in a whole lot of pants that weren t edible and it became overall rather wild compared to a typical Italian garden. I ve planted a couple of hundred trees among them figue, pommegranade, pepper, ficus, carob, almond, olive, lemon, orange, konkwat, quince, lime.

The original idea of the house came looking at the stone it would sit on from the satellite. It struck me as a fossil animal body. The only variation I made to this image was cutting and separating the head so that I could have two severed independent constructions, otherwise the full shape repeats over on over again in the motives of the house (the skylight, the table, the barbecue, the space where the house olive tree grows etc). The organic idea developed from there, our intention was to melt the building into the nature, and feel as little separation from the inside out.

When I m there I generally prefer to inhabit the head of the house (the Junior villa, the smaller one), but during the winter the body can be more cosy cause it has the chimney.

No matter how organic you can try to be on a brick and mortar house you will still be representing civilization in the midst of nature. Imagining the doomsday judgement from a nature god I can t help but see Her coming from the sea, a modest pool stretched out and away from the house by a thin beton lane immersed in edible plants, it s my minuscule tribute, a praying hand, in respect of nature as She shows herself looked upon from the sky. The house being but a stone that lays there hopefully unnoticed, or rather an organic body turned into stone. The swimming pool is the standpoint, the sea. Hoping this little tribute may mitigate Her judgement :) the house wish is to humbly stand small until the end of time.

Guess I got a little carried away, but more or less that was the idea

It is today widely accepted that the Vendicari natural reserve hosts arguably the most beautiful sand beaches of Sicily. Vendicari itself, Calamosche (voted the best Italian beach in 2006), Eloro, Marianelli, San Lorenzo, Carratois, these are all sandy beaches within 10min drive with cristaline, warm waters.

As for culture there are Roman and Greek ruins within a 5min drive from the villa (the Roman Villa of Tellaro is one of the main landmarks of my property) and within the Natural Reserve. The Unesco World Heritage city of Noto, with it s baroque churches and buildings is only 8kms away and Siracusa within a 20min drive as well as Modica and Scicli.

As for nature you will be located in the middle of one of the most beautiful natural reserves of Italy. Also the surrounding area offer plenty of opportunity for natural excursions and the Etna vulcano is only 1hr drive away

Villa Vendicari is a secluded family villa with sea view and easy access (1 mile) to the sea and to a world famous natural reserve, Vendicari. There is only one neighbour at close distance but with a different country road access. She s far enough not to hear music or smells coming from her place anyway...

It s composed of two buildings, Villa Vendicari Junior and Villa Vendicari Senior, and a 25,000sqmts garden and swimming pool.

You can rent it in exclusive here on this listing if you find it available, or just rent part of it in exclusive and/or with common use of the garden and swimming pool if you re price sensitive.

The villa is located within the boundaries of natural reserve right at the Vendicari entrance to the National Park leading directly to one of its best sandy beaches and the renown Tonnara di Vendicari. Distance from Noto, the closest town, is 8km.

The apartment overall is 250mq, plus 250 mts of terraces, 100 mts of roof garden, 600sqmt of lawn, 20,000mts of garden, private parking, swimming pool.

A note about sleeping places: I m setting this up as sleeping 16 people including 4 people in a tent that I will provide in the tree house. There are 4 bedrooms and two living-rooms one of which has a double sofa bed. There are 3 full bathrooms + 2 hot showers outside. Are you more than 8 people? Let s talk and see if this is suitable for you before you book ;)

The villa is composed of two apartments buildings.
Vendicari Senior
170 sq mts, set on the ground floor it is composed of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a very large and spacious lounge room with kitchen, skylight and 7 windows. One enters the house via a large, shaded terrace. On the ground floor is a living and dining area with fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen connecting to a corridor leading to two bedrooms with en-suite bathroom to the right and going forward to the main bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Right outside the outside barbecue area and the edible garden (see below for details)
Vendicari Junior
80sq mts, set on the ground floor just beside the other building, it is composed of 1 bedroom, 1 living with kitchen corner and one bathroom.

On entering the gate of the villa, you ll drive by olive and other Mediterranean trees (~350mts) until you get to the private parking and the lawn on the side of the path to the villa.

The Property: The property is made of 25,000sqmts. 250sqmts is the villas. Another 450sqmts is of terraces around the house to and around the swimming pool. 600sqmts is lawn around the house. Another 400sqmts is herbs (mostly edible). The rest of the field is to be cultivated with medical herbs.

Terraces overlook the sea, have a bench and pillows, they can be used only by adults that are wary of risks, no children are allowed on the Vendicari Senior terrace, while the Vendicari Junior has no risks, but it s only a garden, no dedicated space for sitting etc. The sea is clearly visible also downstairs although it must be admitted that dawn and sunset are more spectacular upstairs.
