A spacious terrace overlooking the Mediterranean garden, featuring fig trees, citrus trees, a wide variety of herbs, and various plants, is available for your full use.

A special highlight is the shower area with a view of the Mediterranean garden and the surrounding landscape. The luxury lies in the details and the design.

Additional important information

For arrivals after 8:00 p.m., we charge a flat fee of 30€ in cash upon arrival.

The plateau is NOT suitable for small children, as the fall protection and the stairs do not meet safety requirements. The fire pit may only be used in the centre of the south terrace and is not permitted at any time during the summer due to the risk of fire!

La Casetta Vecchia is located between Sampieri, Scicli, and Modica, nestled in the countryside on a dead-end street. If you’re looking for peace and quiet but still want to be just 10–15 minutes from the beach in Sampieri or 10 minutes from Scicli or Modica, this is the perfect place for you.
