About this property

A holiday home in the Iblea countryside a stone's throw from the sea

Located in the beautiful Iblean countryside a few kilometers from the beaches of Marina di Ragusa.
Located on top of a hill among centuries-old carob fields, the villa offers an enchanting view of the surrounding rural landscape, giving visitors unforgettable sunsets over the sea.
Fresh and breezy in summer, the villa allows you to spend pleasant evenings on the large terrace in contact with the starry sky and in the company of the chirping of cicadas ...
The fine golden sand beaches of Marina di Ragusa and Punta Secca can be reached in a few minutes by car. In addition, the proximity to the Castello di Donnafugata offers the opportunity to participate in the numerous cultural events that take place there in the summer.

Wie eine Burg
Wir haben eine ruhige und besondere Unterkunft gesucht und es in diesem Haus gefunden. Das Haus liegt auf einem Hügel, so dass man eine wunderbare Aussicht hat, man kann sogar das Meer sehen. Und die vielen Balkone, sorgen für Abwechslung. Das Haus ist sehr schön und liebevoll eingerichtet, und die Küche ist voll eingerichtet. Sogar eine Flasche Wein, Wasser, Pfirsiche, Birnen sowie frische Granatäpfel aus dem Garten wurden uns zum Empfang bereitgestellt. Das Haus ist riesig! Und eigentlich wissen wir immer noch nicht, wie viele Zimmer es eigentlich hat. (Wir waren nur zu zweit und genossen den Luxus der Weitläufigkeit) :-) Der Vermieter ist sehr nett, und mit Hilfe verschiedener Übersetzungs Apps und Händen und Füssen konnten wir uns gut verständigen. Vom Haus aus ist kann man gut den Süden, und auch die Mitte erkunden. Und wenn man ein wenig mehr Zeit hat, sollte man unbedingt die Villa Romana del Casale besuchen, wundervoll. Das Meer ist leicht erreichbar, und nach einigen Versuchen haben wir dann auch einen wunderschönen Strandabschnitt gefunden. Alles in allem haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt, Vielen Dank, Emanuele, für die Gastfreundschaft! Grazie mille per l'ospitalità!

Maison sicilienne traditionnelle dans la campagne à une dizaine de kilomètres de la mer
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine de vacances en famille. L’équipement de la maison est un peu sommaire (pas de lave-vaisselle, pas beaucoup de vaisselle), mais elle est spacieuse et bien située.

Wonderful Experience!
Our family spent a wonderful two weeks in the lovely villa. The location was perfect, in the countryside and very quiet but not far from several towns and many excellent beaches (the nature preserve Randello was our favourite). The house has amazing views in all directions. It was extremely clean, well prepared, with little extras that made the stay even nicer. It is really quite big, it was so nice that we could spread out and find our own corners to relax. The house itself is beautiful, with excellent renovations, the bathrooms are really nicely done and the antique furniture was also really special. It was a unique experience that we will always remember, and we will definitely return in the future. Thank you Emanuele for your hospitality!

Une maison magnifique
Quel beau pays que la Sicile, et ses habitants très accueillants. Quant à notre location, une maison de famille magnifique au calme, près des plages idylliques. Beaucoup de choses à visiter, et plein de bons restaurants... Notre hôte a été particulièrement accueillant, soucieux de notre bien être, à disposition et d'une discrétion remarquable. Il nous a fait confiance en nous remettant les clefs du paradis familial. (A noter que l'annonce tout à fait conforme à ce qui est annoncé, voir en dessous !) Un magnifique séjour que nous recommandons avec beaucoup d'entrain. Septembre 2019

Gastvrij welkom, prachtig huis
Een smaakvol ingericht groot huis. Van alle gemakken voorzien. Gastheer is zeer vriendelijk. Bij aankomst was de koelkast zelfs gevuld met fruit, fris en een biertje. Alles was je maar nodig zou kunnen hebben, is aanwezig.

Romantic stay in a peaceful environment
It was great! The landlord met us at a junction and lead us to,our holiday home. So beautiful, old fashioned. We loved it. A lot,of space, modern bathrooms, a great kitchen with supplies, lots of clean towels - anything you can wish for. But the greatest was the panorama. You have different balconies to choose from and just sit and contemplate the Sicilian landscape. Highly recommendable for a reasonable price indeed. Katrin and Birgit from Germany

Prachtige plek!
Een zeer ruim, stijlvol en compleet ingericht huis, met aan alle kanten een mooi uitzicht. Veel interessante steden en strand in de buurt. Ga zeker naar het vlakbij gelegen Donnafugata, waar je bovendien ''s avonds leuk kunt eten. Zeer attente gastheer, absoluut aan te raden voor liefhebbers van sfeer en rust.

Wunderschöner Ort!
Wir haben knapp 2 Wochen in dieser sehr schönen Unterkunft verbracht. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen. Das Haus liegt mitten auf dem Lande. Wer ein wenig Ruhe in schöner Umgebung sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Von allen Seiten den Hauses hat man einen tollen Blick. Aufs Meer und übers Land. Mit dem Auto ist man in 20-30min an Stränden und in schönen Städten in der Umgebung. Unbedingt Scicli besuchen. Ein sehr hübscher Ort mit toller Atmosphäre. Wir können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen und haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Nochmal DANKE!! Bis bald Sizilien :)

Beautiful historic farm house near Baroque towns
We can’t speak more highly of our pleasure when discovering “Bocampello” near Donnafugata Castle. We stayed for a week in September in this historic rural villa set on top of a hill, with a walled garden and stunning views to the distant sea and surrounding fields. The spacious house is full of light as there are windows on all sides, which allows for a welcoming air flow on hot days. The home is well appointed and could accommodate many more than two people. It has been beautifully renovated in a style that evokes a bygone era. Emanuele made us very welcome and is a genuine and generous host. All that we needed was there on our arrival - and more. You do need a car to reach the house, but once settled-in, most things are within 30 minutes to an hour’s drive away: shops, beaches, historic towns etc. The only thing we regretted was not having booked it for longer. We look forward to returning one day soon and will recommend it to family and friends at home. Sent from my iPhone

Ideal base in beautiful surroundings
We could have hardly found a better place to stay in south-eastern Sicily. The house is perfectly maintained, tastefully appointed, spotlessly clean and the surroundings are amazing. Its central position makes it a good home base to do excursions into all directions (beaches, "remote" villages, Baroque towns..) The host was always available and very helpful. He ensured we had everything we needed and gave us some information on the local area and good places to eat. We also had the opportunity to enjoy the swimming pool of the nearby farmhouse against a small fee. We warmly recommend this place.

Un lieu de reve
Cette maison ne se détaille pas, c'est une entité, un endroit qui certainement aurait été choisi pour une étape du grand tour des artistes romantiques, elle est magnifique . Les propriétaires sont charmants ; nous avons aimé ce séjour et gardons de cette petite forteresse un souvenir très particulier car il est rare , en location, de trouver ce genre d'endroit . Donc, cette maison est exceptionnelle !

Posto unico, merita!
Proprietario gentilissimo, disponibile e discreto. Casa bellissima, pulita, spaziosa e ben tenuta, perfetta per una o due famiglie. Sembra di stare a casa propria. Vista unica dalle finestre: la campagna ragusana e il mare, tramonti e silenzio. Situata in ottima posizione: a un passo dal Castello di Donnafugata, a 20 minuti da spiagge incantevoli e dal centro storico di Ragusa Ibla, Modica e Scicli. La figlia del proprietario è disponibile come babysitter (l'abbiamo provata: simpatica e molto affidabile). Consigliamo vivamente di andare! Noi prima o poi ci torneremo...

Le fotografie non rendono giustizia all'incantevole paesaggio in cui la casa è immersa.. L'abitazione è ampia e, grazie alla sua posizione sulla collina, ben arieggiata. Il proprietario è stato gentile e sempre disponibile. Sicuramente consigliata, anche a chi ha bambini.

Lo charme di un'autentica masseria siciliana
La casa è bellissima, arredata con mobili antichi di famiglia, che danno carattere all'insieme; è fresca e molto spaziosa, dotata di tutti i confort, in perfette condizioni. E' circondata da una corte con un grande frutteto chiuso da mura, che evocano la quiete di un'abbazia, e da vasti terreni agricoli. La posizione rispetto alla strada consente il massimo della privacy senza sentirsi isolati, le spiagge e le belle attrazioni della zona sono facili da raggiungere in auto. A un minuto in auto vi è la possibilità, con una modica cifra di accedere alla piscina di un resort convenzionato, praticamente confinante con la proprietà. Il proprietario, gentile e disponibile ci ha accolto con una deliziosa "torta della nonna", frutta e bibite fresche, e ci ha consigliato per il meglio. Una vacanza da consigliare per chi cerca il riposo e il contatto autentico con la campagna siciliana.

Un séjour privilégié
La grande et belle maison (presqu’un manoir) en pleine campagne au dessus d’une colline mais proche de tous les centres d’intérêt permet d’offrir à ceux qui aiment la « vraie Sicile » un séjour réellement privilégié. Loin du brouhaha du littoral (mais qui est accessible en 15 minutes de voiture) cette maison nous a transporté aussi hors du temps avec son style et sa décoration des années 30. Et en revenant en début d’après midi des courses ou de la mer ou d’une visite de l’une des belles cités baroques qui jalonnent cette région, c’était chaque jour un grand plaisir de jouir de la maison - ventilée naturellement grâce aux grandes pièces - et de sa cour sans autre bruit que les grillons. Le propriétaire s’est montré très attentif, avec un accueil chaleureux (fruits à l’arrivée, boissons fraîches, et même un gâteau de sa maman !) et prompt à nous fournir ce qui pouvait nous rendre le séjour encore plus agréable (mais la maison est parfaitement équipée de tout ce qu’il faut). Propreté impeccable. Nous recommandons vivement cette location à ceux qui cherchent un tourisme humanisé et qui a du style.

Huis met prachtige ligging
We hebben ontzettend genoten van het bijzondere en sfeervolle huis, de prachtige uitzichten en de omgeving. De eigenaar doet er alles aan het je zo goed mogelijk naar de zin te maken! Zeker een aanrader voor wie van buiten wonen houdt. Abbiamo apprezzato molto la casa speciale e attraente, la bella vista e dintorni. Il proprietario è stato molto attento e disponibile. Decisamente consigliato.

PER UNA VACANZA DA SOGNO
Mai avremmo potuto immaginare la bellezza del luogo, la gentilezza dei proprietari, l'incanto del paesaggio attorno. Villa Bocampello ci ha stupiti. La casa è comoda, attrezzata,pulita,luminosa, ben ristrutturata, piena di accorgimenti e dettagli che aiutano a passare vacanze riposanti e comode. Si trova in posizione strategica: su un altopiano con vista mozzafiato a 360°sulla tipica campagna ragusana e verso il mare (e che mare!). Tramonti indimenticabili. La casa è vicina ai centri abitati di straordinaria bellezza, carichi di cultura, storia e (ottime)tradizioni. Un'esperienza da consigliare assolutamente anche per chi ha bambini e per chi piace la natura, l'aria di mare, la campagna e la tranquillità. Non vediamo l'ora di tornarvi!

entspannter Urlaub
Wir haben 2 Wochen in dieser wundervollen Unterkunft verbracht. Das Haus ist riesig und noch schöner, als auf den Fotos abgebildet. Alles ist liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Landhaus liegt erhöht auf einem Hügel mit einer tollen Aussicht übers Land - bis hin zum Meer. Die Wohnung ist sehr gut eingerichtet - alles, was man benötigt, ist mehr als ausreichend vorhanden. Der Vermieter selbst ist wahnsinnig nett und stets hilfsbereit, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Das Haus liegt ganz in der Nähe des "Castello di Donnafugata". Bis zum Meer benötigt man ca. 10-15 Minuten mit dem Auto, der nächste, grosse Supermarkt ist ebenfalls 10 - 15 Minuten entfernt. Ein Mietwagen ist allerdings notwendig. Von dort kann man bequem den ganzen Südosten von Sizilien erreichen. Auch ein Tagesauflug zum Etna ist problemlos möglich. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Très belle maison, ancienne mais restaurée avec charme, située sur une colline permettant de profiter de beaux paysages de tous cotés,grace aux balcons et terrasses. Propreté méticuleuse, literie impeccable.Les pièces grandes et avec de hauts plafonds gardent une certaine fraicheur. Nous avons été très bien accueillis par le propriétaire. La propriété se situe au bout d'un chemin privé, elle est isolée de la route. Chateau de Donafugata à 3 kms.
