Location and Surrounding Area
Il Cortile - Brucoli is in Augusta, a charming town on the eastern coast of Sicily, just a short stroll from the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea. Set in a tranquil and scenic environment, the villa is perfect for those wishing to explore the natural beauty of the region while remaining within easy reach of major Sicilian cities such as Catania and Syracuse. Its prime location offers breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding hills, creating an atmosphere of complete relaxation and serenity.

Augusta, a picturesque coastal town on Sicily’s eastern shore, is renowned for its stunning sea views and peaceful atmosphere. Key attractions include the 17th-century Castello Svevo, offering panoramic views of the coast, and the historic Santa Maria delle Grazie Church. The town’s charming streets and crystal-clear waters make it an ideal spot for a relaxing visit, while its proximity to Catania and Syracuse adds to its appeal as a gateway to Sicily’s cultural treasures.

Catania, a lively city on Sicily’s eastern coast, is known for its rich history and vibrant culture. Dominated by Mount Etna, the city offers stunning views and a dramatic backdrop. Its UNESCO-listed historic centre features landmarks like Piazza del Duomo and the Catania Cathedral, showcasing Baroque architecture. The bustling markets, lively streets, and vibrant nightlife make Catania a dynamic destination, while its proximity to beautiful beaches and natural wonders adds to its charm.

Syracuse, a UNESCO World Heritage site on Sicily’s southeastern coast, is a city steeped in ancient history and Mediterranean charm. Famous for its well-preserved Greek and Roman ruins, highlights include the Valley of the Temples, the ancient Teatro Greco, and the impressive Ear of Dionysius. The picturesque Ortigia Island, with its narrow streets and historic buildings, is perfect for leisurely exploration. The city’s coastline, cultural heritage, and vibrant atmosphere make Syracuse a must-visit destination.
