About this villa rental
Impressive and wonderful villa with a swimming pool, a courtyard and wide spaces. It is the ideal place for groups.
It is a majestic facility dating back to the first years of the nineteenth century. Today it shows all its magnificence thanks to an accurate and meticulous renovation of all its original parts including the garden. Owing to the numerous tall trees that have been planted (carob trees, olive trees, palm trees and some other varieties of ornamental plants) the place has regained its ancient splendour.
At the entrance of the patio there is a wonderful flight of steps that leads to the solarium and to the swimming pool surrounded by date palm trees and oleanders. The swimming pool, with massaging water jets, is heated with solar panels, the water has a constant temperature of 28/29 degrees. At the back of the swimming pool there is a large patio with a well equipped kitchen, a large lunch table and a living area with a fireplace, some sofas and armchairs. Behind the courtyard there is the ancient stone patio called ″baglio″ surrounded by the suites and the ancient villa.
All the rooms have got centralized air conditioning system, but the temperature can be varied according to one's own needs. In the ″baglio″ there are many fresh and private places where you can spend a part of the day in the shadow of the wonderful vegetation surrounding the different courtyards.
A young janitor lives by the house, in a separate place on his own. His discrete presence is essential to keep the place, the garden and the swimming pool in working order. He can solve little problems and, upon request, he can make breakfast.
The villa is ideal for large groups from. The prices vary according to the season and to the number of guests. Anyway the exclusive use of the whole villa is guaranteed.
Do not hesitate to contact me. I am always at your disposal to check prices and availability or even for a simple curiosity.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2024
We stayed in July with a group of 32- friends and their teenage children. The villa is stunning, in a quiet rural location only minutes to the sea and Ragusa itself.
The rooms were spacious and always cool, a perfect sanctuary from the heat. The pool and entertaining areas were perfect for gatherings and afternoon cocktails.
Salvatore, Michael, Stella, Snoopy and the donkeys were all the most wonderful hosts, we couldn't recommend more highly.
The villa catered for us most nights and it was spectacular! Elena was great and assisted us with an amazing boat trip and winery tour. Overall we loved our week and would return tomorrow! XXX
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2023
We had a fabulous stay at this gorgeous Italian villa. The grounds were stunning and the large open room was great for hosting our retreat. The owner was super helpful throughout our stay, and available for anything we needed, day or night.
And the food they had made for us was unbelievable. So much variety of authentic, freshly-made Sicilian food & desserts. I highly recommend the meals!
The only things I would note are that the rooms are quite basic. Showers are tiny (which is typical in Italy) and the beds are pretty hard. The main room, grounds and the service make up for it. But if you're looking for super comfy rooms, these are on the more spartan side. Also, the villa is a bit remote – but it is only 15 minutes from the small town of Marina di Ragusa on the coast, which has some lovely beaches and restaurants.
Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2023
This is a fantastic villa near Ragusa, Sicily. The hosts, Michael and Salvatore go above and beyond with their hospitality. The location is a little far from beaches (closest about 20 minutes) and 2 hour+ drive to Taormina. The main room can be a little hot during the day, but the pool is very refreshing and well kept. We were there for a family reunion and loved that we were all able to stay in one place!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2022
We were a family reunion with people ranging in age from 2 to 92. We couldn't ask for a more wonderful experience, especially the hospitality of Sal and Michael, two remarkably generous people. They helped out in every way, every request and even organized an amazing piano recital for us one evening.
If you're looking for a beautiful experience -- food, cultural, architectural, art and historical insights -- amongst the Baroque hill towns around Ragusa, Sal and Michael and Villa Zinna will assure you go home happy.
One note, they've not got the easiest building to work with for the bedrooms so all are a little bit like a cave (those 17th century "masseria" builders just obviously weren't thinking ahead to 22nd century sensibilities!) but quite comfortable - we have no complaints.
It was a wonderful, wonderful week. Thank you, Sal and Michael!
