casa paparina
Welcome to Paparina. The holiday home to rent, is a traditional Sicilian farmhouse nestled in the peaceful countryside of Chiaramonte Gulfi, Ragusa.
The owner, an antiques dealer from London, has recently lovingly restored the property and filled the house with a collection of furniture and objects collected from all over the world - a delightful mix of colonial and European chic.
The area surrounding the house is agricultural - vineyards and olive groves are in abundance. Part of the land is rented to a local farmer who uses it to farm his fruit and vegetables. He pops in from time to time to tend to his crop.

This spacious house, with the original terrazzo flooring throughout, sleeps four. There are two double bedrooms. The main bedroom has an en-suite with a shower and toilet. The second bedroom has an adjoining bathroom with a shower and toilet that can be used as an en-suite.
A well equipped kitchen, designed by a friend of the owner from London has been fitted and is equipped with all the necessary appliances needed for a comfortable stay. It leads out onto a large covered porch area, where a leisurely lunch can be enjoyed after a dip in the plunge pool that is situated just on the edge of the terrace overlooking a small orchard of fig, pear, lemon and orange trees.
Very friendly Millie the dog and Kitty the cat … also share the garden.
