Villa Eldina Italy

Villa Eldina is a stunning, sleek and contemporary single storey villa, set in an extensive gated estate and tranquil location on the southern Sicilian coast. Its interiors offer fresh simplicity within a chic and neutral aesthetic, while every little detail and comfort has been carefully thought of. Set in expansive and impeccably maintained grounds, with a wonderful private pool, both indoor and outdoor living are second to none.
This home offers a chic and fresh family space, or for a group of adults, ideally located close to the beaches and bustling town life of Ispica – while being in an authentically rural hilltop spot. There are farmhouse characteristics internally, such as the exposed brick fireplace and exposed temper beams – while being of designer level interiors. Luxurious, yet homely, the lateral layout creates a very family friendly space, while being of top spec design-wise – ‘accessible luxury’ is the tone of Villa Eldina!
The panoramic views across rolling countryside and neighbouring fruit orchards make this home a real “gem” – nestled in rustic tranquillity, guests will rest easy after their journey, secure in the knowledge that every detail and comfort has been looked after.  
The outdoor spaces are exceptionally well executed; with huge lawns, olive trees and fragrant plants filling the air with Mediterranean aromas, a large pool which offers such a romantic sight when lit up at night, surrounded by decking and lounging space and then there are the tennis courts and table tennis – whether it be relaxation or an activity-filled trip, Villa Eldina has it covered.
Imagine sitting back under the gazebo as the evening light softens across the hills, with a glass of local wine in hand and grilled fish on the barbecue, or enjoying fresh coffee and pastries after a refreshing morning swim! The al fresco dining spaces offer unparalleled group and sociable family potential – so relaxed, yet so tasteful – stylishly decked out for low key luxury! Reclining with a good book on the hammock under the trees is as close it gets to holiday perfection!
Villa Eldina’s interiors are sleek, fresh and modern – the farmhouse touches are interspersed with the most up to date appliances, modern family kitchen island, which is ideal for snacks and children’s breakfasts and chic steely greys and whites. The French windows allow light to pour in. Open plan living creates such an airy and spacious feel; the tone is minimalist-chic – fresh and edgy, yet very much a family space.
The four double bedrooms and one twin room each offer an en-suite of five-star hotel standard. The bedrooms are inviting and cosy, yet still ever-so tasteful – high-quality, crisp bed linen, ample fluffy towels and each room with its colour accent against a neutral and zingy palette to give each one individual flair!
For design panache, set in a rural and peaceful setting, with an array of local historical attractions and a taste of authentic Sicilian life, simply look no further!Villa Eldina is set in a rural hilltop spot, surrounded by an extensive fruit, wine and olive growing estate, yet is a matter of moments from Ispica.
Ispica is a hill town in the south-eastern corner of the island of Sicily, which is renowned for its prehistoric caves as well as the nearby coastal resorts such as Santa Maria del Focallo and Ciriga. The region is rich with history and although it’s quite popular with tourists, it is still represents authentic Sicilian living.
Rich in architectural interest, Ispica also boasts the gothic style palace, Bruno Palace; there are several other palaces in Ispica, all built after the notable earthquake; from the first half of the eighteenth century is the Favi Palace, which was damaged in the earthquake of 1727, and the Alfieri Gambuzza Palace, with some frescos by Francesco Sozzi.
Ispica is well known for its extensive prehistoric monuments, which are the main attraction to the region; rich in wonderful churches as well as stunning local beaches, visitors will not be short of options for days out. Amongst the most attractive beaches would be Spiaggia di Santa Maria del Focallo (miles of soft sand and shallow waters ideal for children) and Spiaggia di Punta Cirica.
Visitors will above all delight in the fact that southern Sicily is relatively undiscovered – yet is full of characterful villages, rugged coastline and a wealth of opportunity for archaeology enthusiasts! The valley of the temples is one of seven UNESCO world heritage sites; it is also the world’s largest archaeological site and provides a fascinating insight to the island’s past. The site’s seven Doric temples are the core attractions, with the Temple of Concordia one of the most memorable attractions.
When visitors tire of historical discovery, the wonderful, charming spa town of Sciacca is well worth a visit – it offers a colourful and picturesque cityscape, as well as ample tranquil spots for delicious, fresh seafood or a massage or beauty treatment.
The ’Turkish steps” are known locally as the Scala dei Turchi – these comprise a collection of sandy beaches that sit around a striking, rocky cliff famed for its eye-catching white colour. An ideal spot for a few people watching, or to while away a bit of time pre or post dinner as the locals promenade in the cooler evening air.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
