MONTALBANO HOUSE

DETACHED GROUND FLOOR HOUSE - 70m2

Here the days begin without plans and end when the light fades.

Montalbano House is the place where time truly slows down:
you leave the house and are directly on the BEACH.
We spend a lot of time outdoors, between steps on the sand, breaks in the shade and slow returns.

The PATIO becomes an extra room: long, quiet breakfasts, simple dinners.
You arrive, leave your car in the PRIVATE PARKING and everything happens by itself.

A house designed for those seeking SEA, NATURE and true simplicity.

🎯 WHO IT'S PERFECT FOR:

• COUPLES who want to experience the sea directly, without travelling and at a slow pace;
• FAMILIES WITH SMALL CHILDREN looking for a simple and safe holiday, with direct access to the beach and easy returns during the day;
• THOSE WHO LOVE OUTDOOR LIFE, contact with nature and a functional home, more lived in than scenic,
• THOSE WHO WANT TO DISCONNECT, away from the chaos, choosing the sea as part of their daily life.

✨ THE ESSENCE OF THE PLACE

Entering Montalbano House means changing pace.

The house is designed for living between inside and out, following the light, the air and the sound of the sea.
The spaces are separated naturally: a more intimate area for relaxation and an open, convivial part that overlooks the courtyard and accompanies daily life.

Here, the days pass easily: you move barefoot, you go back for a break, you go out again without thinking.
The house does not impose timetables or routes, but invites you to experience everything naturally, without filters.

It's an accommodation that doesn't try to impress with excess, but rather works because it's comfortable, authentic, and deeply rooted in the place.
A space that adapts to the sea, and not the other way around.

🌊 THE BEACH IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE (DIRECT ACCESS)

You don't leave here to go to the sea: you've already arrived.

You exit the courtyard and immediately find yourself on the beach of Capo San Marco (Sciacca), with no roads to cross, no transfers to organize.

Spontaneous baths, barefoot walks, outdoor shower and back out again.
A simple and immediate way to experience the sea, as it should be.

🌿 LIVING BETWEEN INSIDE AND OUT (YARD/PATIO)

The courtyard is the true center of the house.
Here you can eat, stop in the shade, and spend time without rushing.

The patio is a perfect place to enjoy every moment of the day: from breakfast to afternoon breaks, to outdoor dinners and barbecues.
A real, lived-in space that becomes a natural part of the holiday.

🚗 PRIVATE INTERNAL PARKING

🅿️ Private internal (outdoor) parking eliminates any stress related to travel.
You arrive, leave your car and forget about the problem for the duration of your stay.

A rare and tangible convenience, especially in summer, which makes the experience smoother and more relaxed from the very first moment.

Access requires a minimum level of driving experience, as the passage is not very wide and some maneuvering may be necessary.
Once inside, the space is comfortable and safe for parking with peace of mind.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Gate access may not be possible for large vehicles or vans.
In these cases, we recommend using the free parking spaces in the immediate vicinity, near the beach kiosks.

ℹ️ SOMETHING TO KNOW:

As in all seaside areas, mosquitoes and ants may be present during the summer months.
We recommend that you be careful not to leave food out in the open.
However, repellents are available to ensure greater comfort during your stay.

• ANIMALS IN ADJACENT PROPERTIES:
Dogs owned by the lady next door live on the neighboring property.
The animals are always fenced and completely separated from the area of your home.
You may also see stray cats in the yard: we kindly ask you not to feed them, to prevent them from permanently staying in the area.

• TRANSPARENCY NOTE – KITCHEN:
The kitchen sink does not provide hot water.
All the rest of the accommodation is regularly serviced.

In the more central summer months, the beach and surrounding homes can be busier.
Despite this, the house maintains privacy and independence, inserted in an orderly and quiet residential context.

🚗 A car is recommended for easy access to Sciacca's city center, supermarkets, and main attractions, given the house's quiet and private location.
