We highly recommend the Shepherds Cottage Retreat, a unique, cleverly designed and charming place to stay. In a rural setting in the Sicilian countryside, it feels like you are living like a local! Felicity, the owner, is an exceptional host. She was incredibly attentive to our needs during our stay, and provided great advice on where to visit including the most beautiful beach at Plaia Grande with its nature reserve and the historical towns of Scicli, Modica and Ragusa.

A beautiful cottage - charmingly designed and decorated in a pretty rural location near scicli. The cottage is very well-equipped and the host Felicity extremely helpful with suggestions about what to do, where to eat. April is a wonderful time to visit as the wild flowers are extraordinary. We loved the walking - and the markets in scicli - and the people are so friendly. We will return.

Amazing location for a blissfully quiet week among olive groves and grazing of local small farmers. So close to the beautiful town of Scicli which has great restaurants and ambience - a joy to walk around. The nearby beaches are clean and sandy. A lovely little house with everything you need, beautiful bathroom and well equipped kitchen area. Would definitely come back!

The Shephard’s hut is a gorgeous and secluded place to stay. We loved the location and setting with views out across rural Sicily and thought the interiors were beautiful. The house has everything you need and feels like a wonderful retreat from some of the more hectic bits of Sicily.

We loved our stay in Shepherd's Retreat. The building has been sympathetically and tastefully restored and designed by Felicity - a spacious modern bathroom and a comfortable, boutique living space. It was cool inside when temperatures rose, and we enjoyed the peace of the verandah in the mornings.
