Overview
Solena has the ultimate location, right on the beach on the outskirts of Pozzallo, yet within easy reach of so many of the baroque treasures for which SE Sicily is renowned. Contemporary and classy, the apartment’s large open spaces and terraces make it a very appealing holiday home for a family or for two couples.
Property
Together with three other apartments (two on each floor), Solena is on the upper floor of a striking white building, with uninterrupted views of the sea and direct access to the beach via a private gate adjacent to the building.
Outside: Furnished with contemporary white furniture and sun beds in soothing shades of oatmeal, the only splash of colour to be seen on the magnificent glass-fronted terrace is the turquoise of the sea and blue of the sky.
From here, a spiral staircase winds up to an even more spectacular and completely private roof terrace, with floor tiles the colour of sand, more dazzling white furniture and sun loungers and a barbecue. However the highlight is the jacuzzi - available only to guests at Solena - which is strategically positioned in the corner of the terrace to ensure the best sea views.
Access to the apartment is via the main entrance at the back of the building. Parking is available across the street.
Inside: The large open plan living-dining area is very contemporary, with splashes of grey against a white backdrop and huge sliding doors out to the terrace. The kitchen is at one side of the room, all gleaming black and chrome, with a glossy white dining table and chairs.
There are two bedrooms: the master bedroom has an en suite bathroom, both rooms with fabulous sea views. The second bedroom has a double and a single bed next door to the second bathroom (with shower). There is also a small laundry room.
Area
Local sights
The apartment has direct access to a long sandy beach and there is a good selection of alternative beaches, some with well-equipped ‘lidos’, both in and around Pozzallo and at nearby Marina di Modica. Surfing and windsurfing are popular options on this stretch of coastline.
The area also has some wonderful natural attractions, such as the Nature Reserves of Vendicari and Cassibile or the spectacular scenery at the Cava d’Ispica.
Culture vultures can soak up the baroque art and architecture in the neighbouring towns of Modica, Ragusa Ibla, Noto and Scicli. Each of these towns hosts several colourful events and celebrations, ranging from the relatively simple Infiorata di Noto flower festival and the Madonna Vasa Vasa in Modica to the more sophisticated Greek Theatre Festival in Siracusa.
There is a good choice of local shops, cafés and restaurants in Pozzallo including the superb Osteria il Tonno Rosso.
Local experiences
Visit the pretty fishing village of Marzamemi, which has some superb seafront fish restaurants and a lively piazza, and is a robust reminder of the former Arabic rule in Sicily.
This corner of Sicily is the home of Montalbano, Sicily’s most famous fictitious detective. Take a day trip that incorporates visits to Ragusa Ibla, Scicli and other locations used in the TV series.
Windsurfing or kitesurfing in Pozzallo is available to all levels, from beginners to experienced surfers. Contact us for more information on equipment hire or courses.
Head for Bonajuto’s chocolate factory in Modica, where specialities include chocolate, spice and almond-filled impanatigghi biscuits and chocolate made according to the original Aztec recipe.
If you are interested in taking a taste of Sicily home with you, you can take a cookery class in a baroque palace in Modica.
Contact us for more information and bookings.
The heated jacuzzi - exclusively for the use of guests at Solena - is open to guests from 9th May to 26th September.
There is an additional charge of € 130 per week to open the jacuzzi outside of this period.

Die Website finde ich übersichtlich und schön gestaltet. Die Fotos entsprechen der Realität. Der Kundenservice ist mehr als ausgezeichnet. Wir haben alle Infos erhalten, die Kontaktperson war sofort erreichbar und wir konnten die Wohnung sogar etwas früher übernehmen. Fragen wurden umgehend beantwortet. Herzlichen Dank für Ihr Engagement. Solena sehr schönes und praktisch eingerichtetes Appartement mit toller Aussicht. Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Angenehme Distanzen zu den grösseren Städte für Ausflüge. Ich denke, dass wir dieses Objekt wieder Mieten würden. Auch können wir den Service wie auch das Appartement nur weiterempfehlen.
