Villa for 12/14 people garden, pool, bbq, 100 meters from the sea, A / C, wi-fi

Villa La Forma dell'Acqua is located just 100 meters from the beach, in the very center of Donnalucata.
For groups of 8/9 people, who will choose to rent only the central building, we will be happy to offer a 10% discount.
The property is immersed in the greenery of a large garden of about 3500 square meters exclusively available to our guests, where over the years, lemon, orange, pine, oleander, jasmine, pomelia, lavender and many colorful flowers have grown.
In the large outdoor spaces alternate gazebos, relaxation corners, a play area for children, the pond with water lilies, the bbq corner, a laundry room, a bathroom with outdoor shower and the magnificent swimming pool with hydromassage.
The interiors are tastefully furnished in traditional Sicilian style and offer a composition that is perfectly suited to a family holiday or with friends at any time of the year, ensuring privacy and comfort for each person.
Villa The Shape of Water is composed of a main body and 2 romantic dependances. The main structure is on three levels. On the ground floor, entering Via Regina Margherita, the cozy living area, a large kitchen, a double bedroom with private bathroom and a second living room that overlooks a veranda and the garden. On the first floor there is a double bedroom with private bathroom, a second double bedroom with a terrace and a bathroom with jacuzzi. From the latter room you enter the second floor, where there is the double room, perhaps more romantic, with the roof made of reeds and plaster and a window on the park.
Next to the main body, there are the two independent annexes, which house two further double bedrooms with private bathroom and fridge.
Do not forget the second kitchen in the garden, very appreciated in the summer months.
Villa The water form has long been inhabited by us and has been designed to offer to those who live it, all kinds of comforts: air conditioning, satellite TV, home theater, oven, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher , barbecue, kettle, coffee maker, laundry.
The Water Shape also has a pedestrian entrance from the sea and a private car park that accommodates up to 4 cars.

Near all necessary services: restaurants, bank, supermarkets, bars, butcher, greengrocer, post office and lots of fresh fish, thanks to the fishermen who sell the day's catch in the small port.

We are happy to inform you that we are the owners of another villa, always for 12 people (with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, direct access to the beach, swimming pool, bbq, play area and a land of 6500 square meters) only 2 kilometers away. To see it, visit the ad # 10006524.

We are waiting for you.

Superb for Families!
Phenomenal! Melina and her husband were superb hosts, and we can't say enough about this place. We were a large family across three generations (ages 6 to 76); everyone had a blast. The grandparents stayed in the extra two suites that are a separate building while the younger generations had their run of the larger house. We grilled, we swam in the pool, we took in the garden, we walked to the beach and various restaurants. This is a very special place, with various shops within 2-3 blocks (a gelato shop, a wine store with local wine, a butcher shop, a grocer, various restaurants). Day trips included Scicli, Caltagirone, and Ragusa, all recommended (Noto too). You'll want a car to get here but then you can park it and have everything you need within walking distance, among the most beautiful surroundings and fixtures, with the dearest and highly responsive hosts nearby. This might just be the best rental I've enter encountered.

Perfect Villa
We were a family of 10 with two small children. The Villa had everything you could want in fantastic surroundings - large, peaceful garden, good size pool, play area and lots of shady seating areas. It is located close to food shops, including a very good butcher and wine shop and is a very short walk to the beach. Melina was extremely helpful with all our needs. We used the chef services on two nights which worked very well for us. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

The house and garden are beautiful: mature trees and flowers provide shade and privacy and the spacious house provided ample room to sleep our group of 12 and have spaces for sitting, meeting eating, etc. Well-equipped kitchens (2, one in the garden), a pool, BBQ, table-tennis, sun loungers, etc ensured that all could enjoy the sunny weather. Shops very close by provided all we needed and local restaurants were good. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, peaceful escape
We had the most wonderful week at this property. We were two families with small children reuniting after many years apart. The house was well equipped, clean and very comfortable. The property was stunning! The pictures do not do it justice. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The gardens are beautiful. There are so many little areas to sit and take it all in. The community around the home was very welcoming. The best little cafe was out the back gate and the butcher across the street was amazing. And of course our hosts were helpful and so kind. I hope we can come back here again someday.

Fantastic find!
This was a special place to stay. As listed, the garden is very large and provides great privacy and shade. The locals were very helpful as we muddled along with an app to help our Italian. The coffee shop (opposite back gate) and local wine shop were particular highlights. We had a mix of days out and staying by the pool. The pool was spotless as was the rest of the Villa. The Blue Moon was incredible and we loved walking along the seafront for an evening gelato. Melina was very responsive and there to welcome us when we arrived. There are no pictures of the annexe bedrooms online but they are beautiful and felt safe for teenagers to sleep in. The aircon in all the rooms proved very necessary in August. We had a fantastic holiday and would definitely recommend.

This house is decorated in a beautiful style with antique style furniture - everywhere you look there is something else to see. Even after a week we did not take it all in! We were 3 families totalling 10 from age 16 to 72 and there is lots of space to be together or find a quiet spot on your own. 2 minute walk to beach - the sea is so warm! 2 min walk to a supermarket (there is another about 7 mins away). Next to a wine shop! Pharmacy and restaurants all in easy walking distance. The hosts are so very welcoming and very helpful with anything that you need - they are such a lovely couple. This place is booked up in advance and once you have been it’s easy to see why. Just wonderful - 5 stars!

A genuine Sicilian paradise
We were a family group of 7 who stayed at this delightful villa. It was perfectly clean and very well equipt with everything we could want for our holiday. The bed linen and towels were good quality and plentiful. Pool towels were also provided. Each bathroom had its own proper hairdryer, so no need to bring your own.Our 2 grown up children stayed in the separate rooms within the grounds, my husband and I and our youngest child stayed in the main house. This meant we were all together,but not on top of each other. There are some beautiful pieces of furniture, ornaments and antique headboards on the beds. We used the air conditioning diligently and did not go over our 350 KWH allowance for the week. The grounds are wonderful, with various areas to sit and relax in the shade. We picked lemons from the trees to cook with! The pool was lovely and clean and serviced every other day by a lady who crept in and out early in the morning. We bought wine by the bottle from the wine shop next door that dispensed decent wine from barrels into bottles. We bought our vegetables from the green grocers and fish from the harbour, where it had just been brought ashore. The small supermarket had everything else we needed. The beach had soft fine sand and was only crowded at the weekend when we were there. There were restaurants all within walking distance of the villa. Sandy and Melina were there to check us in and out and sent us information of local places to visit. We had a wonderful time at the villa and feel able to genuinely recommend it for a wonderful holiday.

Beautiful Villa for Our Destination Wedding
We had a wonderful stay at Villa La Forma Dell’Acqua. My husband and I chose this villa to host our destination wedding. We rented it for the week with both our families (12 people total). Each couple had their own room. We held our ceremony in the garden. We really didn’t have to do much to decorate. There are so many beautiful areas for photos, or to just relax and enjoy. Several common areas and quiet nooks for alone time. We also loved the lavender bushes and lemon trees at the back of the property. The owner, Melina, was instrumental to our special day. She promptly replied to all of our emails and connected us with local talent. She arranged makeup and hair with Carlo and Vania just down the street from the villa. They were fantastic! Great taste and very professional. Melina also arranged for a chef and a stunning cake for the evening. It was quite impressive, and very reasonably priced. The food was delicious and plentiful. She prepared tons of hors d’oeuvres and mimosas for our family while we went to Modica for more photos. The location is great too! If you have a car, it is a 30 min drive to Modica, 10 min to Scicli, and about an hour and 15 min to Syracuse for a day trip! We took advantage of all of it. It is a 3 minute walk to the beach, if that. There was some great restaurants close by (we really enjoyed Retro). On either side of the entrance to the villa, there is a wine shop and a small grocery store - very handy! One thing to keep in mind is Sundays are very quiet in Donnalucata. Regular business hours for most restaurants and shops seem to be in the morning/early afternoon, then reopens in the evening. The photos of this place blew us away. The villa is even more impressive in person. The hospitality of Melina and her staff took our stay to the next level. If you’re looking for a beautiful home away for family and friends, this place is worth it!

Villa La Forma dell'Acqua...even more beautiful than the photos suggested.
We sayed at the villa for a week at the end of October, 2 families with children aged between 7 & 15 plus grandparents. Everthing was wonderful. The garden is huge and beautiful with lots of seating areas, fruit trees, childrens play area and BBQ. The swimming pool was fantastic, the kids spent most of their time in it and it was cleaned every day, The villa itself was amazing, it had everything you'd need and more. The double and twin rooms with large bathroom and private terrace at the top of the house is perfect for a young family and the other rooms and annex bedrooms are all lovely and have private bathrooms. The decor and attention to detail is just fabulous. The location is great with everything you need within a 5 min walk, supermarkets, bank, butcher, greengrocer, gelateria, bakery, resturarants and a wine shop less than 5 metres from the front door! And a coffee shop opposite the back door for the mornings. The beach is a 2 min walk, we were there slightly out of season so it was very quiet, the weather was still warm and we swam in the sea much to the locals amusement! I could have spent the whole week relaxing in Donnalucata but we'd hired a car so decided to explore a little bit. There are some lovely places to visit within an hours drive, Modica to see the chocolate museum, Ragusu Albi was lovely to walk around and we saw the migrating flamingos at the nature reserve. Our flight was in the evening so on the last day we went up Mount Etna before heading to the airport. This was absolutely amazing and well worth the effort. To sum it all up.. a relaxing family holiday in a stunning, friendly and unspoilt location with great local food and wine. Thank you to Melina and William for sharing your little piece of paradise and to Sandra for looking after us during our stay.

Fantastic week in stunning villa!
Beautiful house(s) set in a huge garden that is more like a park. The pictures don’t really show how big the place is. There is even a playground and a small pond. The pool area is very nice and the pool is cleaned every morning. The beach is just a few hundred metres away and is never crowded. The hosts are very helpful and gave us a lot of assistance even in the period preceding our stay. We made use of the chef service and were very happy with the tasty local food served. Make sure to buy your local wine in the neighbouring store! We were 14 people and there was plenty of room for all of us. Donnalucata is a genuine, quiet and unexploited place with lots of charm.

Amazing villa in an amazing setting
Villa La Forma dell'Acqua is an amazing villa in an amazing setting. We spent a week in there with 3 other families with children and it was one of the best vacations we have had. There is ample space for everyone with big bedrooms and one private bathroom per bedroom. The backyard is so large we nicknamed it "the compound". You can play bocci or go down the slides. Having dinner outside in the garden while the kids play in the pool is great. Moreover everything is one block away: beach, gelato, supermarket, fruit store, butcher, etc. So it is really convenient. On top of that Melina is very responsive and has a whole team of people to make sure your stay is as smooth as possible. You could not ask for more. I highly, highly recommend La Forma dell'Acqua.

Lovely venue for a family holiday
In early April 2018, three generations of our family (7 adults and 4 young children ranging in age from 70 years to 2 years) spent a week at Villa La Forma d'Acqua. Everything about the villa and its grounds was excellent. We were met by Melina, Guglielmo and their two charming children who showed us around the villa’s extensive grounds and the house which has been in the family for generations. The house and grounds demonstrate their love and care for the property which they are always looking for ways to improve. Living only 5 km away, they were readily available to answer queries throughout our stay, but never intrusive. The photographs and description on this site are all accurate, but there are two ways in which the description does not do full justice to the villa: • The house is set in its own small park with a wide variety of fruit trees as well as extensive children’s play areas. We found it hard to persuade our 4 young children to venture out of the grounds because they enjoyed them so much. I would suggest clicking on the satellite view of the google map to get a better feel for the size of the villa’s gardens. • The second fully equipped kitchen seemed a luxury but proved invaluable especially for eating outside. If you are planning to stay, it would be worth thinking in advance about how to use the third storey twin bedroom which does not have a bathroom and is only accessed through the bedroom below. It worked well for us as a child’s bedroom. We enjoyed our stay very much and will look for an opportunity to revisit in the future.

We had a lovely stay in a beautiful house with rooms and space both indoor and outdoor for a 3 generation familiy of 15 persons age 1 to 67! The house and garden were beautifully decorated, all rooms had well functioning AC. The surroundings with a nice clean beach, supermarket and restaurants were perfect, and we did not need a car.

I fully agree with all previous comments. We were a family of 9 people including 2 grandchildren. We cooked most of the meals buying meat at the butcher and fish at the harbour. The pool was great. Wine shop and grocery shop very close. We already want to go back.

Very beautiful villa
Villa and the garden were very nice and provided a beautiful scenery to spend the holiday. Couple of nice restaurants in short walking distance and also the beach is very close. We spent most of our time in the pool & in the shadows due to very hot weather. This was our first time in Sicily and have to say that logistically Donnalucata was not the best place to explore the island, as the roads near to town were in poor shape. Meaning that it was not feasible to do any day trips to touristic attractions, but of course the hot weather was also one reason for this.

Traumhafte Villa
Wir, drei Frauen mit insgesamt 10 Kinder, hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in Donnalucata. Die Villa ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, der Garten ist ein Traum und die Nähe zum Meer, aber auch zu Läden, Restaurants machte alles sehr gemütlich und relaxed. Wir wurden von Melina und Guglielmo bestens betreut, insbesondere als eine von uns Erwachsenen krank wurde, einen Arzt brauchte und früher abreisen musste. Die kleineren Kinder haben den Spielplatz sehr genossen und die grösseren natürlich den Pool und die ganze Anlage. Vielen Dank für diese wunderschöne Woche im Oktober, während der wir oft auch um Mitternacht noch im T-Shirt rumlaufen konnten.
