Outdoors
The accommodation is part of a building once incorporated into a complex of rural houses and warehouses, built at the end of the nineteenth century on the property of the prince Starrabba of Giardinelli, close to the beach of Punta Secca (Santa Croce Camerina). In the early twentieth century, a rich family of the place transformed a good part of the original buildings into his holiday home. The house, recently subjected to maintenance works (2017), offers outdoor spaces where guests can isolate themselves, and areas to enjoy the sea and the sun. A pedestrian street bordered on both sides by tamarisks and Mediterranean plants accesses the structure. From a big door, typical of Sicilian rural houses, there is access to a large patio (36 sqm), covered by a wooden roof, which opens onto a portion of the garden with oleanders. The restored floor is made of stone bases and in an angle under the staircase, there is an old stone “pila” (washbasin), resting on a wall covered with majolica tiles (glazed and decorated ceramics) from the 19th century. From the patio, furnished with comfortable sofas, you can access the rooms of the house: on the left the part that overlooks the sea, on the right the former warehouses renovated and transformed into living spaces. Also from the patio, through a staircase, you access a large terrace (30 sqm) overlooking the beach and the Saracen tower of the fishing village.
