General informations
Description
Villa Alike is the ideal starting point to discover the beauty of the island, from the white sand beaches to the splendid baroque towns of south-eastern Sicily, all easily reachable in a few minutes by car.
Made of the typical local stone of Modica, the villa has a huge patio overlooking a magnificent garden with palm trees and a large salt water swimming pool, equipped with a hydromassage area, overlooked by a gazebo with table, chairs and relaxation area , while sunbeds and umbrellas are arranged all around.
In the shade of a large veranda overlooking the garden there is a dining table and a barbecue.
The veranda leads to the living area, equipped with leather sofas and armchairs arranged around the fireplace, TV corner and dining area.
From the courtyard, however, you access a kitchen equipped with everything you need, with an adjacent laundry room equipped with a washing machine and dryer.
The sleeping area on the lower floor is located in the opposite wing of the house. The master bedroom, with a private bathroom with tub and shower, has glass doors leading to the courtyard. On the ground floor there is also a children's bedroom (with bunk bed), a large bathroom with shower and hydromassage tub and a living room.
The two staircases leading from the living areas on the ground floor lead to two separate areas on the first floor. On the pool side there is a living room with a sloping beamed ceiling, sofas, desk and access to a furnished terrace with spectacular views of the garden and pool. The sleeping area on the first floor houses a study and four bedrooms (three doubles and one triple). The triple and one of the doubles overlook the courtyard and share a bathroom, while of the other two doubles one has a private bathroom and the other has its own bathroom next door.
At guests' disposal there is also a dependance with a kitchen with a wood-burning oven.

Reviews
Excellent accommodation for a larger group. The location is very quiet and secluded, but everything you need is there, and the beach is only about an 8-10 minute drive away. The property is huge and very well maintained. Some of the electrical appliances could use replacing, but everything you need is provided. At this price point, pool heating should be included (approximately €55 extra per day). The contact with the host was excellent and friendly.
I've been staying in AirBnbs since its inception and I can confidently say this property is what it's all about, we were actually staying in someone's home rather than a bland corporate grey property. Carlo's home did not only have a huge amount of character but it is also stunning and absolutely huge. The pool area is the best I've ever experienced in a villa, and would have been happy spending the whole week there. The property is very child friendly too, my toddler loved playing with all the toys in the kids room and stomping around the property grounds. Couldn't recommend enough and I'll definitely be back in the future if in the area.
The villa was as advertised and absolutely beautiful, we loved it. Ersilia from IsulaTravel was very helpful before and during our stay and answered to our questions immediately and expertly.
Die Villa ist super schön mit einer Menge Platz. Der Pool ist wirklich gross und tief. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. auch die Kommunikation war einfach und reibungslos. Fünf Sterne!
