This villa on the south coastline of Sicily sits as close to the Ionian Sea as it's possible to get without the water lapping against your bed every morning. It's a wonderfully picturesque spot, but what's perhaps most impressive is the villa's long list of amenities that will prise your attention away from this peaceful vista.

Given the island's fruitful climate, it won't come as a surprise to learn that many of these can be found outside. There's something for every mood out here, whether you want to play in the swimming pool, relax in the Jacuzzi or feast yourselves silly on the pergola's alfresco dining table – all with the unmistakable sound and scent of the sea to keep you company.

When you finally have to head inside, we're sure that you'll like what you see. The interior design mixes rustic features, such as patches of exposed stonework and the villa's old wine press, with more contemporary flashes – the minimalist kitchen and whitewashed bedrooms are a case in point. We also like that the split between the main villa, guest house and suite offers a degree of welcome flexibility for larger groups.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the island, the first port of call has to be the stretch of beach that sits directly opposite the home. Beyond that, there are restaurants and bars a short walk away in the coastal town of Letojanni, plus the port city of Catania lies well within reach for a day trip.



A Stirring Spectacle

There are a fair amount of things eager for your attention at this villa on the east coastline of Sicily. In one direction, you're treated to swoon-worthy views of the Mediterranean Sea stretching out to the horizon, but the home's palatial design and excellent amenities demand closer inspection, too.

A short tour around the house reveals grand columns, glossy floor tiling and an enviable collection of objets d'art dotted about the place – we're particularly fond of the gilded mirror and ornate bedframe found in the sleeping quarters. The huge windows and glass doors are especially generous when it comes to natural light and also lead out to peaceful balconies.

Of course, given Sicily's famously agreeable climate, you'll probably want to spend as much time outside as physically possible and that's easily done here. Out on the large grounds, there's everything from an infinity swimming pool and sunken Jacuzzi to a leafy garden complete with a gazebo that is the ideal place to catch the sunset.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, the nearest beach is in Letojanni about 2km away, although Isola Bella is another pretty seaside spot about 7km away. The mountainside town of Taormina is a 10km-drive down the coastline and has much to discover along the medieval streets.


The Start of a Love Story

This incredible villa perches dramatically on a cliff, offering sweeping views over the coves of Cefalù. You’ll step straight from the garden onto your very own private beach, surrounded by sparkling waters and lush greenery. The interiors flow across two levels, with spacious living and dining areas, a fully equipped kitchen, and panoramic relaxation spaces overlooking the sparkling sea. The surrounding garden is perfect for unwinding or enjoying magical evenings under the stars. The interiors are charmingly traditional and could use a little updating, but they only add to the home’s character. Its incredible setting, just a short walk to the heart of Cefalù, combined with the timeless Sicilian atmosphere, makes every stay truly unforgettable.

Secret Cove Oasis

This home in Sicily is postcard-worthy without a doubt. Its grounds are home to a villa that comes complete with a saltwater pool, impressive views of the Tyrrhenian coast, tonnes of privacy, an outdoor hot tub, and multiple dining areas, too. Inside, you'll find a mélange of classic charm and modern comfort. Each bedroom comes complete with its own en-suite, and there are different hangout areas and dining arrangements to suit every mood. Hop in the car and discover the beach just three kilometres away. Or, if you're in the mood for a day trip further afield, the coastal city of Cefalù is a great choice.

The Aeolian Song

Out-of-this-world vistas take centre stage at this former watchtower overlooking the glistening bay of Isola Bella. Expertly converted with design-savvy interiors, the three-storey home takes full advantage of its stunning location. There's a charming balcony off the free-flowing living area – the perfect spot for your morning coffee. But take it from us – the view is best admired from the private roof terrace, with a hot tub perfectly placed to take in the infinite horizon. Ready to explore? You're just a short walk from the beach and cable car to Taormina's old town for alfresco dining and people-watching in the central piazza. 

Mediterranean Sundae

Between the sea and the mountains, this home offers an idyllic rural escape in the Madonie National Park. You can savour slow days at home lounging by the pool and admiring the views. There’s a barbecue for alfresco dining and there’s plenty of space inside to stretch out and spend quality time together. It might be hard to leave this private sanctuary, but it’s the perfect base for sightseeing with the town of Cefalù just thirty-minutes away. It’s also just a twenty-minute drive to Finale di Pollina beach.


Villa Moonrise

On the coast of the Ionian Sea, the ancient city of Taormina sits in Sicily’s eastern region – a place where dramatic shorelines, bustling towns, and luxurious homes live in harmony. At the curve of this striking bay, Isola Bella Beach is the most beautiful spot for a picnic on the sands while you admire the scenery. But just an eighteen-minute walk from here, we know of an even better viewpoint.

This home is a true example of luxury. While the exterior looks like a monument of old-world Italy that you might see in the guidebook, this castle-like, stone tower is your apartment. Set over three lofty levels, the elegant, modern interiors are only made more tasteful by the generous welcome hamper from your host. Full of local goodies, you can take something out to nibble while you explore your new surroundings.

You can’t help but immediately be drawn to the panoramic balcony and roof terrace. Views out to Isola Bella are simply unmatched, especially when you’re perched on the tower’s ramparts with a glass of Sicilian wine, reclining on a sun lounger, or soaking in the outdoor hot tub under the stars.

Upon the Ramparts

This whimsical home has charm by the bucketload. And, on top of its gorgeous interiors, it has a great range of features and an excellent location – you'll be singing its praises in no time at all. 

Step inside, and you'll discover a treasure trove of unique artworks and beautiful furniture. Hungry guests can cook up their favourite pasta dishes in the painted kitchen, before serving their creations in the grand dining room. The bedrooms are equally stunning, and the luckiest guests can wake up to lovely views across the Sicilian countryside. And, outside, you'll find a bright blue swimming pool, ideal for cooling off on hot days. 

Sun worshippers can head to the coast and take their pick from the local beaches – Spiaggia di Isola Bella and Spiaggia di Mazzeo are both a fifteen-minute drive away. If you're feeling adventurous, you can take the forty-minute drive into Parco dell'Etna to explore the otherworldly landscapes. And, if a day trip is in order, drive down to the historic port city of Catania in fifty minutes. 

The Libretto

With the sandy beaches of the Ionian Sea at its doorstep, this home is heaven for snorkelling lovers. For those who enjoy a slightly slower pace of life, the nearby charming fishing and lavish seaside resorts are just a few minutes walk away.

Whether it's rock-climbing to Monte Toro in the historic town of Taormino or summer events at the ancient Greek Theatre in the lap of Mount Etna, Nerello is surrounded by points of history, water-sports and culture. 

However, when you have your very own private paradise, you don't ever need to leave. Find two apartments with a private beach and hot tubs on the roof-terrace – it’s hard to imagine a more idyllic setting. Sip on sumptuous local wine on the roof terrace before settling down for some seafood linguine. 

For an afternoon somewhere in between relaxing and snorkelling, you can just while away the hours on the golden sands of the beach. Bask in the sun-kissed glow of the Mediterranean sun whilst taking in the beauty of your surroundings. 





Nerello

Everything about this stone and wood villa exudes Sicilian luxury – from the vast garden to the rustic interiors, bursting with vintage details. Start the day by greeting the sunrise over the Mediterranean with a few leisurely laps in the pool, then enjoy sipping your coffee on the sun-drenched terrace overlooking Mount Etna. You have all day long to stroll the beach, explore the harbour and the local museums, or take a drive along the coastline and pick up some seafood from the fishing villages. In the evening, grill freshly caught octopus and prawns on the wood-fired barbecue, and gather the whole party for dinner under the stars on the breezy veranda. Later you can retreat inside and cosy up by the fireplace or play a few tunes on the piano. If you're lucky enough to snag the master bedroom then you can soak in your own hot tub with a nightcap – trust us, with so much to do, your fellow guests won’t mind if you retreat to your own little world for a while. 

Etna Sunrise

Situated in the ancient town of Riposto, in the shadow of Mount Etna, this compact apartment enjoys the benefits of a private garden which offers stunning sea views. You’ll be able to enjoy your meals out here,  and later, you can stroll directly to the water’s edge. Due to its size, we think this home is best suited for couples or a small family – note that there’s a second apartment in the building so privacy might be compromised at times. 

Sultry Sunsets

This dreamy home can be found with Mount Etna on one side and the Sicilian coast on the other. It’s a home ideal for large groups or families, with the main villa and a separate annex, so everyone has their own space – both even have their own kitchens.  

Outside, a picturesque terrace leads to the pool, surrounded by lush gardens. The cherry on top, though, is the view. While drifting in the pool on a lilo, you can gaze out over the hilly countryside landscape, all laid before the dramatic backdrop of Mount Etna. The gardens are an oasis, whether you’re swimming in the pool, lazing in the sunshine, or playing table tennis. The covered dining table on the terrace makes mealtimes a real occasion – why not fire up the barbecue to grill some fresh fish? 

The villa is tucked away in the countryside, but the small towns and villages of Sicily’s coastline are still accessible by car. It takes forty-seven minutes to reach the beach, and there are lots of attractive eateries nearby so you can really make a day of it. 

The home’s location at the foot of Mount Etna makes adventure ever so accessible. Hike up the majestic volcano in the summer and ski down in the winter. The base for the summit hike is an hour and twenty-three minutes away, so set off early – you’ll want plenty of time at the summit to take in the view. 

When you return to the villa, freshen up with an evening dip in the pool, and settle in for a relaxing evening on the terrace. Open a bottle of Sicilian wine before feasting on arancini and pasta all norma.
