Villa Matilda is a home which comprises of two separate units; each with two bedrooms and one with an additional sofa bed.

The Neighborhood
Overlooking the sea and surrounded by protected parkland and coastlines, Villa Matilda is in a beautiful, serene location but is not isolated, with shops and restaurants in easy reach. The gorgeous, endless coastline is the main feature of the South-East of Sicily and here you will find a great selection of beaches to spend your days relaxing on. Nearby Arenella has a popular, sandy beach and a good selection of bars, shops and restaurants so is a great beach to visit if you wish to spend the whole day there without having to move far to grab something to eat. If you fancy seeing the coast from the comfort of a boat trip, then you could go to Fontane Bianche which is a twenty-five-minute drive away, this is a lovely beach which offers private boat hire or tours. When you wish to relax and enjoy the local natural surroundings; try going for a hike or a paddle in the clear waters of the protected area of Plemmirio which is just minutes away from the villa. This 12km of coast is filled with stunning caves, beaches, cliffs and protected plants and animals and is a wonderful place to relax or give bird watching a try. The cities of Syracuse at 12km away and Noto at 35km away are filled with historical attractions, museums, artisan shops and a huge selection of bars and restaurants and are some of the highlights of the island. Another highlight, Mount Etna, is a little further out at around ninety-minutes away by car but if you get the chance to go, it is well the trip. Take the circular train up to the top for an easy ride enjoying the views or take part in a walking tour of Europe’s largest volcano!
