Villa Baia Marina – Seaside holiday apartments at San Lorenzo/Marzamemi

Vacanze serene in Sicilia

Enjoy the lightness and ease of an Italian summer. A great place to do just that is Italy’s largest island – Sicily. It is said that, in Italy, the further south you go, the friendlier the people and the sweeter the desserts.

Why not see for yourself during a stay at Villa Baia Marina, which is only 100 m from a lovely bathing bay and located at San Lorenzo/Marzamemi. The town borders nature reserve Oasi Vendicari, where you can go hiking and bird watching.

With its Mediterranean coloring and unobtrusive, but tasteful architecture the sea view villa harmonizes wonderfully with the picturesque landscape of southeastern Sicily. Its interior displays comfort in perfect design.

As one of Sicily’s most beautiful beaches with crystal clear sea water lies, so to speak, at your feet, you do not even need a car to get there. Whether the bathing bay is more or less sandy depends on the current.

Stores and restaurants are found at the picturesque fishing village of Marzamemi, 2 km off.

Your design apartments at Villa Baia Marina

Pippo, the friendly owner, really values his apartments, which is obvious inside as well as outside.
The villa offers WLAN and satellite reception as well as air conditioning with heating system. It houses two ground-floor holiday apartments, each with a private entrance, parking space, section of garden and roofed terrace.

The somewhat larger holiday apartment No. 1 includes a double bedroom with extra bed, a single room, a live-and-eat-in kitchen and two bathrooms. 

The adjoining holiday apartment No. 2 is smaller and includes a double bedroom with extra bed, a narrow single room, a live-and-eat-in kitchen and a bathroom. 

The live-and-eat-in kitchens feature dining furniture, sofa bed, SAT-TV, gas stove, oven, refrigerator, coffee machine and water boiler. 

The bathrooms are equipped with shower cabin, WC and bidet as well as hair dryer.  There is a washing machine in the outdoor area each apartment.

Couples traveling together or larger families might book both apartments (subject to availability) and unlock the connecting door between the terraces.

Outdoor area with palm trees and sea view

When we visited the premises for the first time in October 2016, shortly before construction works were about to end, Pippo told us that by having the tall palm trees planted in the garden he had aimed at creating a special atmosphere right from the start.

When having a closer look at the pictures, an expert eye will surely recognize the classy tiles in Mutina design on the terraces and partly in the bathrooms, which provide for modern touches here and there.

Each apartment includes garden furniture, sun beds, parasols and outdoor shower (cold and warm water) in the fenced outdoor area, which faces the sea.  

Furnishing

The holiday apartments include, amongst others, WLAN, SAT-TV, air conditioning with heating system, outdoor shower, washing machine and hair dryer.

The owner keeps two bikes which guests can borrow upon request.  

Parking: You can park your car in the parking space reserved for your apartment.

Surroundings

The bathing bay below Villa Baia Marina and the neighboring holiday accommodations is only about 100 m off. The long and gently sloping sandy beach of San Lorenzo is ca. 300 m off.

San Lorenzo is a popular bathing resort, above all during the summer months of July and August. The two lidi are, however, about 500 m from Villa Baia Marina, which means that you can spend relaxing holidays at the villa even during high season.

Marzamemi, a fishing village 2 km off, has been spruced up during the last few years, but has not lost its authentic charm. Enjoy an aperitif at one of seaside bars there before savoring local fish at one of the restaurants. To round off the evening, you might take a walk along the seaside promenade and delight in a „cannolo“ (pastry roll with sweet ricotta) for dessert.

Culture tip: The Baroque town of Noto 20 km off has a fascinating centro storico and fantastic Baroque buildings, for example cathedral San Nicolo and the town hall.
