Villa Calandrino ★★★★
A citrus-scented villa in the foothills of Sciacca
By Isobel Morrice, VeryChic correspondent
A mere stone’s throw from mainland Italy lies the autonomous Italian region of Sicily, a sun-baked paradise known for its olive groves and world-famous opera. A sensational blend of colours, this Mediterranean Eden is bejewelled with sumptuous greens of the Sicilian hills, deep azure of the Agrigento coast and breathtaking ochres and terracottas of the local Maiolica ceramics. Recently crowned as the culture capital of Italy, it’s home to astonishing ancient Greek ruins, lavish vineyards and a golden-tinted retreat in the form of the Hotel Villa Calandrino ****.
Nestled away on the southwestern coast of the island is the colourful port town of Sciacca, famous for its bubbling thermal springs, spectacular religious festivals and its impressive fishing fleet.
Search further afield and you’ll uncover the Hotel Villa Calandrino ****, hidden amongst the grounds of an enchanting orange grove. Dating back to the seventeenth century, when it served as a holiday home for noblemen, it has since been updated to suit the needs of the modern-day traveller, whilst still retaining the charm and elegance of its heyday.
Adorned with a mermaid statue, the inviting garden at Hotel Villa Calandrino **** provides the perfect shaded retreat in which to become engrossed in your favourite book or admire the vibrant Italian surroundings. Perhaps you’ll choose instead to recline lazily by the mirrored, turquoise waters of the pool, warmed by the saffron-yellow Sicilian sun and complemented by a stunning vista of the valley below. Take the time to absorb the subtle harmony of the peaceful sky overhead and the distant crash of the waves on the Mediterranean coast, all whilst sipping on an ice-cold Aperol Spritz. Before long, you’ll succumb to a sunset massage by the pool, accompanied by a relaxing herbal tea (or a tasty Italian aperitivo, your choice).
An oasis of tranquillity encased in a whirl of citrus and Sicilian charm, the Hotel Villa Calandrino **** is the perfect spot for an alluring island getaway.
