If you’re looking for a practical base right in the heart of Balestrate, this modern apartment is just the ticket. The beach is less than a five-minute walk away, reachable via the city’s iconic 100 steps nearby. Or ask your host to organise a hiking or 4x4 safari excursion to take in more of the nearby Sicilian sights. Back home, the pared-back, modern interiors are spotless, although it’s worth noting the living room will be tight if four guests are sleeping on the two sofa beds. That said, for a small family or group of close-knit friends sharing, it could work out great.

Located in the seaside town of Balestrate, this serviced apartment is just a five-minute stroll from the beach. You’ve got your own private balcony here – perfect for a morning espresso – as well as a sociable open-plan living area (which is where guests three and four will sleep when the home is at full occupancy). If you want a relaxing start to the day, your host can provide breakfast, and for eating out, you’re a stone’s throw from the main street. When it comes to exploring further afield, popular Scopello, Trapani, and Palermo are all within a forty-five minute drive.

With views of the ocean and easy access to the beach, this apartment is perfect for small groups or families looking for a coastal break. It's a sociable space, with a sofa bed and a dining table in the living room. There's also a balcony with a table for two that makes an ideal spot for evening drinks. From here, it's a ten-minute walk to the beach and you'll have your pick of local restaurants and bars to choose from. For a special touch, you can even ask your host to organise daily breakfasts or activities like hiking or 4x4 safari tours – an exciting way to explore the region.

Nothing beats an aperitivo with sea views. This apartment is just a short stroll from the beach and has a private balcony for alfresco breakfasts or sunset drinks. Inside, the space is bright and welcoming, with two double bedrooms plus two sofa beds for extra guests. Balestrate itself has a laid-back coastal vibe, with pretty piazzas, local trattorias, and historic buildings.

The Seaside Apartment

This coastal apartment is an ideal base for exploring Sicily. With a bedroom and two sofa beds in the living room, it's well-suited to families and friends who don't mind sharing. It includes a dining table for four and a little balcony – both are great spots for sharing meals or evening drinks. The central location places you right in the heart of Balestrate, surrounded by authentic Sicilian bars and restaurants, and only a ten-minute walk from the beach. For something extra special, you can even ask your host to organise daily breakfasts or activities like hiking or 4x4 safari tours. 

Coastal Corner Spot

This coastal retreat sets the scene for an unforgettable Sicilian escape. Wake up and enjoy breakfast on your terrace before heading down the famous “100 steps” to the beach, just moments from your door. Thoughtful details – from 24/7 self check-in to the well-equipped kitchen – make your stay feel easy and homely. And when it’s time to explore, vineyard tours, hiking trails and authentic Sicilian dining are all close by. We think this apartment is your gateway to Sicily at its finest.

The Sicilian Sky

Looking to base yourself right in the heart of Balestrate? This apartment set less than a five-minute walk from the beach and port is a no-brainer. Granted, while it’s not the most characterful of homes, and the sofa-bed set might not suit everyone, it makes for a practical choice. There’s parking outside, so exploring Sicily is a breeze from here. Or leave your car at home and ask your host to organise a sightseeing trip for you – they can arrange hiking and 4x4 safari excursions for an additional fee. There’s also a handy on-site café bar to grab fresh morning pastries for lazy mornings at home. 

Slice of Sicilia

Just a short stroll from Balestrate’s golden beach, this apartment will transport you straight into authentic Sicilian life. Mornings can begin with coffee on your terrace, or why not whip up something tasty in the kitchen? When planning your itinerary, know the town’s famous “100 steps” will lead you to the shore in minutes, while San Vito Lo Capo, Scopello, and the Zingaro Reserve are all within easy reach. Add in vineyard tours, countryside adventures, and a host of optional services, and you’ve got the perfect base for your Italian adventure.

Oceanic Breeze

If being near the beach is top of your holiday wish list, then this serviced apartment in Balestrate could be the home for you. Located just a five-minute stroll from the beach, you’ve also got the amenities of the main street a stone’s throw away. And if you fancy a day trip, the picturesque coastal village of Scopello is just over half an hour away by car. The set up here won’t suit everyone – at full capacity, four guests will be sleeping on two sofa beds in the living area, so privacy will be limited. With that in mind, we think this home is best suited to two couples, or a family, who want a fuss-free base near the sea.

Sea & Land

For families and friends who like a sociable and central stay, this apartment in the heart of Balestrate is ideal. There are two sofa beds in the living room, along with a dining table for four – perfect for sharing authentic Italian breakfasts. There's also a balcony with a table for two where you can spend evenings sipping Sicilian wines. You'll be surrounded by an array of local bars and restaurants and only a ten-minute walk from the beach. To experience even more of the island, you can ask your host to arrange activities like hiking or 4x4 safari tours.

With stunning views across the Gulf of Castellammare, a private infinity pool, and a shaded alfresco dining area, this villa ticks a lot of boxes. Located near the picturesque village of Scopello – which movie buffs may recognise from its cameo appearance in Hollywood's Oceans 12 – you’ll find a sandy beach, a weekly market, and a fishing harbour all within a 6-kilometre drive. We think this home is a great choice for a family or group of friends seeking a relaxing break in the sun.

In the untamed landscape of Sicily’s north coast, this rustic villa puts you within striking distance of the walking trails of the Zingaro Nature Reserve and the pretty coastal town of Scopello. It’s all on one level, and the open kitchen, living and dining room may be charmingly dated, but it’s perfect for socialising. The show-stopper here is the view from the terrace – gaze out over the rugged mountains from the dining table and enjoy alfresco meals thanks to the summer kitchen. If the Sicilian heat gets too much, there’s a private pool to cool off.

Nestled within Sicily's dramatic landscape, this villa is packed with character. Inside rustic charm meets contemporary finishes - think exposed wooden ceilings, stone walls and large windows that frame sweeping views over the the Gulf of Castellammare. Outside, you'll find a swimming pool carved into the hillside, an outdoor kitchen for cooking up alfresco feasts and plenty of space to unwind. The location is hard to beat too: just a short drive away from beaches, the historic village of Scopello and Zingaro Nature Reserve, where hiking trails and hidden coves await. 

Wild Sicily

Outdoor Pool

Access to Beach

This Sicilian paradise has it all – a private pool, mountain backdrop and the Mediterranean just moments away. And that's before you even step inside. The modern villa has been artfully designed with punchy wall decor and floor-to-ceiling windows. Sleek, contemporary and bold in its interior style, the two-bedroom home features an open-plan living space with several plush sofas, a glass-topped dining table and a fully equipped kitchen.

Outside, you're spoiled for spots to kick back and enjoy the sunshine. Whether you opt for the hammock, the day bed or the poolside lounger, there's no wrong choice – in each, you'll be surrounded by lush greenery and distant mountains, with a reliably blue sky above. Come evening, get the barbecue going and serve up some grilled goodness on the outdoor dining table.

While you're on this Italian island, you won't want to miss its capital, Palermo, just over half an hour away. Rich in history, art and delectable cuisine, the buzzy city houses countless sights that should make it onto your itinerary. Most notably, the landmark cathedral – this impressive structure is a unique blend of Neoclassical, Baroque, Gothic and Moorish architecture.

Walk on Water

A short drive from central Terrasini on Siciliy's northern coast, this sleek one-storey villa set upon sprawling grounds is perfect for two couples or a family who can't choose between beach and city. Glass walls and French windows soak the living area in sunlight, while the small pool offers the appearance of entering the home. The garden has plenty of space for kids to play and adults to relax, with its day bed, hammock, alfresco dining spots and mountain views. If you're travelling with children, your host can muster up a fifth bed for one of the bedrooms. The beach is just 3km away, while Terrasini offers plenty of distractions with its eateries and shops.

Citrus On A Starry Sky

Rooftop Terrace

Located in the centre of Terrasini, this home sits in a sunny position in this harbour town on the Sicilian gulf of the northeast coast. To the south and west of this town, there are the fruit plantations ‘Conca d’Oro’, and the area is surrounded by vast mountains which provide a stunning backdrop to your terrace views. 

A cappuccino on the terrace, as you admire the panorama is the ideal way to begin each morning here, before you head out for the day. Why not go hiking and explore the paths at the Riserva Naturale Capo Rama – 4km away? Or, for those looking for a more relaxing break, you can spend their time on the sandy beach of Magaggiari – just 1km away.

In the evening, return home and fire up the barbecue for meals on the terrace in the Italian alfresco style. Then, as the night grows chillier, snuggle up together in front of the open-hearth fireplace.

Fabulous views of the sea, countryside, and mountains make this villa a picturesque place to stay. The swimming pool and outdoor terrace really make the most of the surrounding scenery, so you can admire the sun-kissed vistas whether you’re swimming, sunbathing, or sitting down to an al fresco dinner. Inside, the living and sleeping spaces blend comfort and character, with exposed stonework and rustic beams adding to the country cottage charm. When you want to explore further afield, the nearest beach is just 5km away, giving you a taste of Sicilian seaside magic.

A Coastal Echo

This modern villa, located in Castellammare del Golfo, is the perfect base for exploring the western region of Sicily, including Trapani, Marsala, and Segesta. Set across two floors, you’ll find two en-suite bedrooms and two triple bedrooms, ideal for families travelling with young children. While you’ll find all the mod-cons you need inside this home, it’s the outdoor space that caught our eye. With far-reaching sea views, sun-drenched terraces and a private pool, it’s just the spot to soak up the Sicilian sun in complete serenity.

Nice to haves

Fall for this idyllic, sea-facing Sicilian villa, in a spectacular location just 150m from the gorgeous beach of Cala Mazzo di Sciacca. Whether you love a lazy day relaxing by the pool or a fun-filled adventure to the beach, this home is perfectly suited. Sip piña coladas in the shade of the swaying palms, enjoy a gentle bob in the crystal-clear pool water, and when lunchtime arrives head to the delightful terrace for an alfresco meal overlooking the changing moods of the ocean. 

Inside, the villa is just as dreamy. Stepping through, you'll love the sea-inspired interiors, vibrant blue colour palette and nautical artwork that serves as a constant reminder of your stunning surroundings and picturesque views. Fling open the double doors, inviting the sea breeze to sweep right inside the wonderfully open living space, kitchen and dining area, as you tuck into a home-cooked breakfast. 

If you can peel yourself away from this little pocket of paradise, the charming village of Scopello is well worth a visit and lies just ten minutes away from the villa on foot. Further afield (2km), you can also find Zingaro nature reserve and its pristine white-sand cove. 

Deep Blue

Smart TV

This slow-paced hideaway makes the perfect setting for a dreamy island escape. Perched above the bay of Cala Mazzo di Sciacca with the beach just a short walk away, you’ll find yourself immersed in the natural beauty of northern Sicily. 

From early morning dips in the pool to lazy lunches on the terrace and golden-hour drinks followed by sizzling barbecue meals, it’s easy to settle in and make this space your own. And when you’re ready to head inside, you’ll find the air-conditioned rooms set the tone for total relaxation. 

Days can be spent drifting between the pool and the beach or exploring the coast. Admire the views whilst walking to the nearby bars and restaurants, take a boat trip, follow hiking trails or jump in the car and drive to Palermo. Wherever the day takes you, this home welcomes you to enjoy it all with ease, comfort and style.    

A Brighter View  

Sitting in a secluded area of Sicily, surrounded by peaceful rolling hills, this home is ideal for serenity-seekers. It's still just a short drive from the nearest beach when you're craving sun, sea and sand, and isn't too far from the heart of Trapani when you fancy that city life.

While the interiors are stylish and modern, it's clear this home has been designed for you to live alfresco. A covered terrace houses a dining set where you can share a toast to the Italian life, plus a lounge area where you can kick back with a good book – and of course, the private pool is always on hand to cool you down on hot summer days.





Just Float

Ceiling Fans

Set within acres and acres of olive groves, this villa is all about Sicily’s peace and quiet. If you do want to catch a bit of the island’s buzz and stock up on supplies, the historic town of Castelvetrano is a short drive away. But this place is all about the tranquil life, floating in the huge, turquoise swimming pool or enjoying a long, lazy lounge thanks to the full outdoor kitchen. There are plenty of shaded spots with comfy seating dotted around the grounds. 

The villa is set out courtyard-style, all on one level (except for one little turret) with white buildings clustered around the pool terrace. Bedrooms, living rooms and dining areas have their own entrances onto the terrace. Inside, we love the old-world feel of the place with its sloped, wooden ceilings in the bedrooms and Persian rugs in the living room. Furniture feels like it belongs to a 19th-century aristocrat. There’s a big wood-burning stove in the dine-in kitchen, though we doubt you’ll need it in the heat of spring, autumn and summer. All in all, this place feels like you’ve got your own castle in the Sicilian countryside.

Wrapped in fruit and olive trees on the north coast of Sicily, this home near Castellammare del Golfo offers peace and tranquillity in abundance. The traditional style can make it appear a little dated, but we think its rustic look only adds to its charm, and you’ll find all you need for a comfortable stay. Outdoors, you’ll find sun-kissed terraces and a private pool to make the most of the Sicilian sun, while the mountainous backdrop provides the perfect view. 

A Silent Garden

Sound System

This villa rests on a hillside, 600 metres from Cala Mazzo di Sciacca beach. If you want to explore traditional Sicilian cuisine and wine in the local bars, the seaside village of Scopello sits prettily nearby. The coastline here is dotted with sweeps of soft sand and crystalline water, and the nature reserve of Zingaro is in the area.

 The home’s burnt-sienna facade is striking against a near-constant blue sky, and a terracotta roof and wooden shutters speak of old-world Sicily. In the private garden, olive trees shade the outdoor kitchen and the group can dine with a view of the endless sea. A bamboo pergola keeps things cool in the outdoor lounge and, when the heat gets too much, there’s a plunge-style swimming pool to cool off. The interior is crisp and clear with pops of sea-blue and turquoise matching the view from the corner windows.

This sleek home offers a slice of serenity in western Sicily. How about watching a sunset over Mothia and the Egladi Islands while sipping local wine? We love the tropical garden, sun-kissed terraces, and seasonal pool here. Hydromassage tubs and showers await indoors, though some en-suite layouts are partially open-plan with less privacy. Curious kittens might pop by when you're sunbathing, which could be a dealbreaker for those with severe allergies. There's a beach nearby, plus Marsala boasts ancient sights and a buzzing nature reserve.

Nirvana Hideaway

Home Cinema Setup

Situated 65km west of Palermo rests this quaint Italian villa in the historic town of Castellammare del Golfo. Stone walls and wooden beams bring character to the recently renovated space, with stylish designs in keeping with the home's history and location. 

We particularly loved the enormous wooden dining room table, which adds a rustic charm and invites guests to experience authentic Sicily at its finest. Feast on a homemade Italian dinner of your dreams in this social setting that will have you feeling just like a local. 

Fancy some sunshine? Outside you'll find a picture-perfect scene that will take your breath away. With absolutely stunning views over the Sicilian countryside and mountains, you'll feel you've arrived in heaven when lounging on the day beds out by the pool with these vistas. 

Next, cool off under the outdoor shower overlooking the expansive greenery and patchwork fields for an experience you won't forget before spending the evening under the shaded pergola over by the outdoor kitchen. 

While the sunsets here are undoubtedly Instagram-worthy, your cellphone snapper simply won't do the scene justice, so leave your phone alone and live in the moment.

Mountain Blue

Just steps away from the Mediterranean waterfront, waking up to the fresh sea air each day is only a fraction of this home's appeal. Overlooking endless blue views, meal times are best spent at the alfresco dining area. Meanwhile, the huge lawned garden provides the perfect spot for sunbathing on the loungers. You'll find direct access to the sea from the property – idyllic if you enjoy wild swimming. Plus, with contemporary and stylish designs ensuring comfort wherever you are in the home, a good night's sleep is most certainly on the cards. Beyond the villa, you'll find the historic centre of Cefalù alongside other nearby villages just a short drive away.

Lazy days by the pool, sunny strolls through the countryside and balmy evening drinks set to the sweet sound of a grand piano – this home invites you to enjoy it all with a wonderful sense of warmth and character.

Your host can also arrange spa treatments – ensuring your stay is elevated to the height of relaxation.

Tucked away in the coastal town of Cornino, this villa offers a resort-style escape with complete privacy. Outside, panoramic sea views set the scene as you lounge by the pool or relax on the terrace. The private spa – featuring a heated indoor pool, sauna, Turkish bath, massage room, and hydromassage tub – brings all the comfort of a five-star retreat. Inside, the atmosphere is bright and serene, with four generous double bedrooms plus two sofa beds – ideal for children. There’s little need to venture far with the beach just a short stroll away, but if you're in the mood to explore, Erice, Trapani, and the Egadi Islands are all within easy reach.

Sicilian Spa Retreat

Outdoor Bathtub

Perched on the hillside on the Sicilian coast, the view from this home’s terrace is simply sublime. Light stone surrounds the lagoon-shaped swimming pool which invites you for a cooling dip in the heat of the Sicilian sun and, wending your way around the terraced gardens, you’ll find a ping pong table, outdoor dining area and summer kitchen for days spent alfresco, all with a sea view. It’s a leisurely walk into the pretty coastal village of Scopello for pizzerias, seafront bars and a calm bay for swimming in the sea.

Inside, the villa feels beachy and traditional at the same time with wooden ceilings, crisp white walls and splashes of ocean blue. The table by the glass double doors offers a coastal panorama for long, leisurely breakfasts and the nautical theme of the decor is a reminder of your oceanfront location. The entire living area is open, thanks to an archway at the centre, making the kitchen, living and dining areas feel spacious and breezy. Bedrooms, with their splashes of artwork on the walls and cute wooden-shuttered windows, are a delight to retire to come bedtime. 

Seaside Seclusion

Hammock

This one is for those who enjoy long hikes as the trails of Zingaro nature reserve are on the doorstep and in fifteen minutes you can be on the beach. A long, winding road to the home ensures peace and quiet.  There’s no need to concern yourself with walking trails when the view from the pool terrace is as good as this – taking in Sicily’s rugged coastline and the Tyrrhenian Sea. A summer kitchen is ideal for big meals outside at the table beneath the twisting olive tree. Inside, it’s a vision of old-world Sicily, with a cast-iron stove in the living room and exposed stone walls.

In Nature We Trust

If ‘villa with a view’ is on your wish list, we’ve got something you’ll love. This four-bedroom home looks across the sun-kissed hills to the sea – and you can enjoy that extra-special scenery from almost every room. You can see the sea from the pool and panoramic terraces too, so whether you’re swimming or sitting down to lunch, you won’t miss a minute of the views. This bright, contemporary home makes a great base for a family break or group getaway. There’s even an additional small kitchen upstairs, giving you more space for prepping simple meals. Hop in the car to discover more of this idyllic island – like the Valley of the Temples, with its well-preserved Greek architecture.

Sea & Sky Blues

In the heart of the lovely coastal village of Terrasini, famed for its amazing sunsets, you’ll find this apartment. It’s within walking distance of shops and restaurants, (150 metres away) and Magaggiari Beach (1 kilometre away) and within driving distance of the capital, Palermo, 34 kilometres from this home. If you don't know where to start with the area, your host can arrange tours and experiences for you. Back at this historic home, there are two terraces – our favourite is the one with the beautiful views over the Sicilian countryside and mountains. Inside, you’ll find a mix of modern and rustic in this charming apartment.

Sun'd On The Sea 

Situated among rolling hills and picturesque vineyards of Western Sicily, this large villa makes for a tranquil base for family holidays. The home boasts a private swimming pool and stunning views from both the outside areas and from the interiors. The inside is all about traditional décor with sleek modern touches – note that you’ll need to climb stairs here. The outdoors is perfect for sunbathing and alfresco dining. We think a car is necessary here to explore the island and reach the nearby town of Battaglia, as well as the coast. 

The Country Watch

Welcome to your next sun-drenched retreat, set between the golden beaches of Eraclea Minoa and the wild beauty of the Torre Salsa nature reserve. This contemporary villa is all about views, with sweeping terraces and a glittering private pool overlooking the sea. Inside, the space is light-filled and inviting, blending comfort with laid-back Sicilian style. There are multiple areas to relax, making it ideal for get-togethers or quiet moments to yourself. Surrounded by nature and just minutes from the coast, it offers easy access to some of Sicily’s most spectacular cultural and natural landmarks. The bedrooms are on the smaller side, with two particularly better suited to solo guests or children. That said, with scenery like this, you'll hardly want to stay indoors.

Torre Salsa

This clifftop villa has something of a show-home feel, and it’s no surprise when your hosts are two brilliant architects. Both the indoor area and outside are absurdly stylish. The living space is all grey-scale and geometric, with a modular sofa and hexagonal tiles. The theme is continued upstairs, where there are sharp-angled mirrors, diamond patterns and Escher-inspired floors. We love the use of colour, particularly the turquoise bathroom, a reminder of the spectacular surroundings. Outside, amidst the Sicilian olive trees and gardens, a spacious terrace gives way to incredible views of the Mediterranean, with glimpses of Cefalù on the horizon. The nimble-footed among you should take the narrow steps down to the Tyrrhenian Sea below, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Or choose the more leisurely approach and wander 700m down the secret path to the beachfront. Spend your evenings under pink skies, with wine and conversation flowing freely around the alfresco dining table, before crashing into comfy beds, lulled to sleep by the gentle lapping of waves.
