Baia L'Aura is true luxury for sea lovers, a heavenly corner nestled in a natural oasis with private access to the sea: Baia Porto Ulisse, a cove at the southernmost point of south-eastern Sicily. The soul of the villa merges with the sea, the sky, and nature. A flight of steps leads to the sea gate, which opens onto a large stone-paved terrace lapped by the waves. On one side, there is a shaded pergola with sun loungers, allowing guests to spend enchanting days swimming in the sea and relaxing in total tranquility. Its superb sea view and its garden of aromatic plants and overhanging white rocks are part of a natural oasis in continuity with the strictly sea-view panorama. Just 200 meters away, you can reach Porto Ulisse Beach Club and La Riserva, enchanting locations for breakfast, eating on the beach, or enjoying a sunset aperitif. We recommend the best restaurants, local wineries, shops, and markets where you can appreciate all the excellences of the territory. Nearby, miles and miles of pristine sandy beaches, the evocative Baroque cities of Noto, Syracuse, Scicli, Modica, and Marzamemi, and the nearby Longarini and Vendicari nature reserves.
INTERIORS: The accommodations at Baia L'Aura are arranged in four carefully restored fishermen's houses. Each has a summery, carefree, and relaxed atmosphere, and together they form a private waterfront village, perfect for large families and groups of friends traveling together. The main outbuilding, closest to the sea, houses the property's common areas, consisting of: a bright, open-plan, airy indoor-outdoor room with rise-and-fall transparent curtain walls, sea views, whitewashed floors, linen curtains that are gently billowed by the sea breeze, a well-equipped kitchen, and a dining table. A door next to the kitchen opens into the comfortably furnished living area with fabulous sea views and access to a shaded terrace. Next to this is the first bedroom: a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom with a shower, sea views, and access to the terrace. The second structure has two double bedrooms with independent access that open onto a divided shaded terrace. Each offers sea views, a partially in-room shower, and an en-suite bathroom. The third and fourth outbuildings both house double bedrooms that open onto shaded terraces. One has an en-suite bathroom with a shower, the other an in-room bathtub and an en-suite bathroom. NB: Although there are 5 double bedrooms at Baia L'Aura, the maximum capacity is 8 people (including children > 10 years old).
Life at Baia L'Aura mainly takes place outdoors, and there is no shortage of spaces - both indoor and outdoor - where guests can enjoy the sea view, relax, and gather for convivial moments. Lawns and hedges with a wide variety of native Sicilian plants fan out around the various accommodations, connected by wooden walkways, trampolines set into the grass, and ancient terraces of local white stone and pebbles. Each room has its own whitewashed wooden terrace with shaded seating areas, allowing guests to stretch out and enjoy relaxation whenever they wish. The real magic of Baia L'Aura, however, is its large beachfront terrace overlooking the clear waters of the Mediterranean with many furnished scenic spots, created specifically for relaxing, dining with a sea view, and fully enjoying the spirit of the holiday. Guests will love the sound of the sea and the gently lapping waves, the iodine-rich air, and the shades of blue and emerald green that will accompany every moment of their stay. Whenever they want, they can go for a swim. In fact, just cross the garden, open the private gate, and dive into the crystal-clear water of the Bay of Porto Ulisse.
