Shepherds Cottage Retreat - Self-catering in Sicily
CDA Cassarino Cozzo Rao SN, 97015 Scicli, Ragusa
Sicily,
Italia
It's one room and a bathroom, but the feel isn't cramped thanks to the lovely high ceiling with beams, stone walls and floors and windows which allow light to flood in – artists, nature lovers or those who just wish to be together in private will be very happy here. A double bed (which can be a twin) in one corner has Sicilian wrought iron supports and sits below a window with views, there's a tiny wood-burner for chilly evenings and a comfy sofa.
Outdoors, find fragrant potted jasmine, olive, almond and carob trees, dry stone walls and loungers under a shady pergola; outdoor meals will be sublime and on clear days you can see a tiny slice of sea in the distance. Create Sicilian dishes over a small electric oven in the kitchen area with its lava stone top and open shelves, find local extra virgin olive oil, herbs and spices.
Doze in the sun, forget your worldly cares, cool off under a large rain shower in the attractive bathroom.

Local points of interest from Felicity Good:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Felicity Good:
- The house is situated in the south of Sicily known as the Barock triangle; Noto, Ragusa and Modica. Stunning Scicli, has a perfect scale to explore its many churches, cafes, a cinema paradiso, restaurants and a unique Italian rationalist Cinema Paradiso.
- Local lovely beaches are Plaja Grande, part of which is a beautiful nature reserve, a 25 min. drive and Sampieri, a 15 min drive. Enjoy the tiny historic centre of Sampieri with its bar gelateria with delicious local fare & stroll along the endless beach.
- Modica, Ragusa and Noto have examples of beautiful barock architecture; in Modica the Chiesa di San Giorgio. Then visit the famous chocolate shop Bonajuto with delicious chocolate and pistachio filled cannoli.
- Ragusa Ibla, a 25 min drive is a unique 17th hillside town. Park the car then amble up through to Duomo, St George, eat the best ice cream ever at the gelateria on the Platz duomo and stroll on down through to the GardiniIblei and enjoy the panoramic view.
- Walk around Siracusa's Ortigia, the historic city centre which is perched above a sea wall with stunning views in all directions. Climb down steps for a swim! St John's Basilica is my favourite church in the world, archaic and with a unique ambiance.
- Segesta, a superb doric temple from 5BC with an amphitheatre in a remote rural setting is unparalleled. Combine with a trip to Palermo & visit the cute little seaside San Vito di Capo on the way, 70 km from Segesta, just over an hours drive from Palermo.
