Villa Cavallo, Secluded Country House Near Scicli

VILLA CAVALLO – SCICLI AREA
Tucked away in the serene countryside of southeastern Sicily, Villa Cavallo lies just 15 minutes drive away from the charming baroque town of Scicli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its historic architecture and scenic landscapes. The villa is set within the gently rolling Ibla hills, where golden fields stretch toward the deep blue of the Mediterranean.
