Villa Giulia, Marzamemi, Sicily roadtrip

Our second night we stayed near the town of Marzamemi in an old converted farm named "Villa Giulia". Originally, the old villa was born as a country residence and produced wine made from the vineyards in San Lorenzo. We received a room at the very end of the estate with walls as thick as what fortresses must have used! The a/c worked and we actually just dropped our stuff at the hotel and drove to the coast. We hiked to a LOVELY cove in a state natural area. Unfortunately we did not remember to bring the camera. Will try to find a pic online. Water sooo clear and sand so soft. It was a great beach. Well worth the 1 or 2 km hike in.

Here a few pics taken from their website, as we didn't take any pictures...

Marzamemi: This is exactly where had dinner! Could have been taken from our table. It was lovely! So rustic and romantic. That night the square was taken up with chairs and a giant movie projector and screen as the town celebrated a film festival!

Villa Guilia:

Villa Giulia: We loved the wooden beams on the ceiling!

Coastline next day on the way north to Siracusa...

This was something famous in our tour guide book... it escapes me what it is...will have to look it up. Location could not have been better. :-)

Clear water! Soooo refreshing! We wanted to jump in, but then would not have had a chance to rinse off the salt all day...so on we went...
