Villa Karmani

Rooms description

There are four double en-suite bedrooms, three of which can be made up as twins, if required. Simply decorated in neutrals, they have extremely comfy beds, a wardrobe, and a desk, as well as stunning views. Two of them have a private terrace.

All of the rooms are en-suite and the bathrooms include double basins, beautiful graphic tiles, stone and poured concrete, impressive mirrors and large showers. There is a bath in the principal en-suite.

A central monochrome tiled corridor runs the length of the villa giving access to the kitchen, dining and living rooms. The well-equipped kitchen is open-plan to the passage and includes a large island with an induction hob. Monochrome floor tiles and a sleek run of white lower wall units combine with a round wooden breakfast table and a door to the terrace. There is also an outdoor kitchen next to the outdoor dining table which is on an elevated, shaded terrace above the pool.

There is plenty of living space, both inside and out, that cleverly marries form with function. Inside, the living and dining space is open plan to the long central passageway and includes a large seating area with a TV and a dining table for ten. Neutral tones provide warmth and decoration while the real showstopper is the scenery outside. There are plenty of spaces where guests can relax, both inside and out, including on the two private bedroom terraces, by the pool and in front of the living room.

Villa Karmani is just 5km from the nearest supermarket, 7km from Ispica and only 16km from the beach and from the pretty town of Noto, with its fabulous array of restaurants that offer everything from pizzas to top-end fine dining, using beautiful, slow-grown local ingredients. For other towns, Syracusa is of archaeological interest and is matched in its baroque splendour by both Ragusa and Modica, while the island of Ortigia is a gem of charming medieval streets, heaving with history. Closer to home, however, is a private path that leads from the villa to Masseria della Volpe, an eco-resort where guests, at extra cost, can have a sauna, play tennis and beach volleyball, and dine in the Coda Rossa restaurant.

Your villa and Covid-19

To prevent any possible spread of Covid-19 and to enable you to enjoy a safe and relaxing holiday, all our villas are cleaned to the highest standard possible, and according to the latest Italian health and safety regulations.

Perfect hygiene: to ensure an exceptional level of hygiene in all our villas, we’ve worked with our owners to create a Covid-19 villa management protocol. Based on recommendations from the World Health Organisation, and in compliance with current Italian national law, this protocol goes above and beyond our usual rigorous cleaning standards.

Prior to arrival, your villa will have been fully sanitised, including all surfaces, objects, kitchen items, curtains, sofas, throws, pillows, toys, and in and around the pool. You are welcome to ask for a detailed list of the entire cleaning procedure we do after each departure and before welcoming new guests to the property.

The owner of this house has complied with the following standards:

• To ensure the necessary information concerning social distancing and the use of masks is available to all guests
• To guarantee availability of and accessibility to hand hygiene systems with hydro-alcoholic solutions and soaps in all inside areas of, and pertaining to, the villa
• To guarantee cleaning and disinfection of all areas according to national authority guidelines. Further information is available on request
• For the swimming pool: to guarantee the efficacy of the water treatments, while respecting legal limits (the parameter for free active chlorine in the pool is between 1.0 – 1.5 mg/l; combined chlorine ≤ 0.40 mg/l; pH 6.5 – 7.5 or equivalent oxygen)
• For air conditioning systems: to guarantee the air re-circulation function is switched off and, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, with the plant in off-mode, to clean the air filters of the heating/cooling plants that use heat pumps, fan coils and convectors, at the end of each stay
