Detached House by the Sea, with direct access to the Beach

Here, days begin without plans and end when the light fades.

Montalbano House is a place where time truly slows down:
step outside and you are right on the BEACH.
Life is lived outdoors, walking on the sand, resting in the shade and returning slowly.

The PATIO becomes an extra room: long, quiet breakfasts, simple dinners.
You arrive, leave your car in the PRIVATE CAR PARK and everything else falls into place.

A house designed for those seeking the SEA, NATURE and true simplicity.

———————————

Entering Montalbano House means changing pace.

The house is designed for living both indoors and outdoors, following the light, the air, and the sound of the sea.
The spaces are separated naturally: a more intimate area for rest and an open, convivial part that overlooks the courtyard and accompanies everyday life.

Here, the days pass simply: you walk barefoot, come back in for a break, and go out again without thinking about it.
The house does not impose schedules or routes, but invites you to live everything naturally, without filters.

It is accommodation that does not seek to impress with excess, but works because it is comfortable, authentic, and deeply connected to the place.
A space that adapts to the sea, and not the other way around.


🎯 PERFECT FOR:
• COUPLES who want to experience the sea directly, without traveling and at a slow pace;
• FAMILIES WITH SMALL CHILDREN looking for a simple and safe vacation, with direct access to the beach and easy returns during the day;
• THOSE WHO LOVE THE OUTDOORS, contact with nature, and a functional home that is more lived-in than scenic;
• THOSE WHO WANT TO GET AWAY, far from the chaos, choosing the sea as part of their daily life.


🌊 THE BEACH IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE (DIRECT ACCESS)
From here, you don't leave to go to the beach: you've already arrived.
Step out of the courtyard and you're immediately on the beach at Capo San Marco (Sciacca), with no roads to cross and no travel arrangements to make.

Spontaneous swims, barefoot walks back, an outdoor shower, and back outside again.
A simple and immediate way to experience the sea, as it should be.


🌿 LIVING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE (COURTYARD/PATIO)
The courtyard is the true center of the house.
Here you eat, relax in the shade, and share time without rushing.

The patio accompanies every moment of the day: from breakfast to afternoon breaks, to dinners and barbecues outdoors.
A real, lived-in space that becomes a natural part of your vacation.


🚗 PRIVATE INDOOR PARKING
🅿️ Private indoor (outdoor) parking eliminates any stress related to getting around.
You arrive, leave your car, and forget about it for the duration of your stay.

A rare and practical convenience, especially in summer, which makes the experience smoother and more relaxed from the very first moment.

ℹ️ SOMETHING TO KNOW

• MOSQUITOES AND ANTS (WARM SEASONS):
As in all seaside areas, mosquitoes and ants may be present during the summer months.
We recommend that you take care not to leave food outdoors.
Repellents are available to ensure greater comfort during your stay.

• ANIMALS ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES:
The neighboring property is home to dogs owned by the lady next door.
The animals are always fenced in and completely separated from your living area.
You may also see stray cats in the courtyard: we kindly ask you not to feed them, to prevent them from staying in the area permanently.

• TRANSPARENCY NOTE – KITCHEN:
The kitchen sink does not provide hot water.
The rest of the accommodation is supplied as normal.

• BEACH AND NEIGHBORHOOD IN HIGH SEASON:
During the peak summer months, the beach and surrounding homes may be busier.
Despite this, the house maintains privacy and independence, set in a neat and quiet residential area.

————————————

🏠 LAYOUT OF THE ACCOMMODATION

IMPORTANT NOTE: the accommodation is divided into two separate areas:
• Sleeping area (bedroom + bathroom) on the upper floor, accessible via steps;
• Living area (kitchen and living room) in an adjacent building, connected by the outdoor courtyard.

🛏️ BED AND GUEST ARRANGEMENTS

The house is primarily designed for use of the double bed in the sleeping area, ideal for couples.
