This villa, like a garden pavilion hung with a spectacular view of the sea, is part of a complex of houses located in Marina di Ragusa, the seafaring village of Ragusa, on a plot of land with beautiful views overlooking the Mediterranean and a stretch of coast in the direction of the island of Malta, distant about sixty miles off, and that in a bright day you can see clearly.  The design of the villa derives from the influence exercised by the program of the Case Study Houses (CSH) implemented in the 50’s by John Entenza and the magazine he founded “Art & Architecture”.
