The villa is strategically balanced between the countryside and the sea, but that doesn’t mean it lacks nearby activities, attractions, and amenities. The easiest enjoyment close at hand is the beaches, to which Villa La Fornace boasts direct access. The nearby fishing village of Donnalucata (5-minute drive) is a popular seaside resort thanks to its two marvellous beaches and accompanying promenade. If you’re a fan of the Italian police procedural drama Inspector Montalbano, you’ll recognise the promenade as the place where Montalbano "takes a stroll". The village boasts craft shops, bars, pubs, supermarkets, friendly trattorias, and artisan ice cream parlours. Fans of industrial architecture will want to check out the "Fornace Penna" (16-minute drive), a now ruined industrial furnace that made bricks for construction across Europe in the early 20th century. After a mysterious fire, only the shell of this industrial behemoth remains. Still, thanks to its prominent position on the coastline, it’s an exciting place to explore (it was also a prominent setting for Inspector Montalbano). The hilltop city of Ragusa (40-minute drive) has many baroque buildings, labyrinthine lanes, and sun-soaked piazzas. A guided tour will take you from the Palazzo Arezzo di Trifiletti, with its showpiece ballroom and 19th-century frescoes, to the Teatro Donnafugata (miniature opera house) and other sights in this fairytale town. The nearby baroque town of Modica (30-minute drive) is famous for its unique style of chocolate making, which gives the chocolate a grainy texture and aromatic flavour. Satisfy your sweet tooth with some Modica chocolate, or pick up some perfect souvenirs to bring back to family and friends.
