This is the holiday villa of your dreams. Located on the waterfront in Sicily, the only thing between you and the Mediterranean Sea is your private staircase over the lava rocks. If you prefer, you can slip into your private swimming pool above the waves. In such a dramatic and photogenic setting, everything about this home is orientated to the sea. The elegant main living areas enjoy wonderful views, the dining area opens out onto the terrace and there's even a detached gazebo, for when you want to be outside, but the sun is just that little bit too bright. Inside, the decor reflects the setting too, with blue and grey furnishings splashing colour against the neutral walls. The kitchen is sleek and minimalist in style, with all the essentials cleverly and discreetly stored. The bathrooms are luxurious extensions of the bedrooms, which remain cool and tempting even in the heat of the day. Of course, the light, sounds and scent of the sea will always draw you back to those views. So dine on the terrace as the sun sets into the sea, and enjoy an evening with loved ones as the stars pop out above.

A Shining Star

Right in the centre of Catania, this home allows you to explore the city with total ease. History buffs will love it here, due to local landmarks only being a short walk away. One of our favourite things about this home is that it's close to public transport – giving you the chance to dive deeper into Sicily. Step out onto the balcony to watch the bustling streets below and have a front–row seat to the daily lives of the locals.

This cozy apartment is perfect for a romantic getaway to Italy, and this central location means you can treat yourself to authentic wines and delicious Italian cuisine for date night. Visit gorgeous art museums or head to the shopping district to find gifts for your loved ones back home.

Evenings can be spent snuggled up in front of the TV, with the moonlight pouring in through the balcony door. Notice the streets below become quieter as the day draws to a close, and drift away ready for another day of adventuring.

Centre of Light

Situated on the east coast of Sicily, this villa is just a stroll away from the Ionian Sea. Offering breathtaking views of Mount Etna, this is a nature lover's paradise, with easy access to the Cyclops Riviera, Taormina, and Catania. The garden is the perfect place to sit back and relax and comes with a private Jacuzzi and patio for alfresco dining. The garden gate leads down to the sea, so you couldn’t be any closer to the ocean. If you’re looking for a sandy beach, however, you’ll find one just fifteen kilometres away.


Coastline Chic

This home sits on the mystifying Cyclops Riviera, just a forty-minute drive from Catania and a fifty-minute drive from the park of Mount Etna. Its scenery is nothing short of breathtaking, surrounded by the region's iconic jet-black lava rock and, overlooking the endless blue of the Ionian Sea, boasts direct access to the crystal clear waters.

Though compact, the interior is stylish and contemporary, providing the perfect base for families and small groups. Floor-to-ceiling windows usher in floods of sunlight while offering glimpses of your stunning surroundings. After a restful slumber, prepare breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen and spend mornings on the private terrace, sipping coffee and tucking into pastries in the crisp sea breeze.

With plenty of outdoor space and shared amenities, this home beckons you to unwind in the splendour of your surroundings. The outdoor pool offers a glistening oasis from the Sicilian sun, while a lush lawn boasts a play area and trampoline – perfect for the little ones.

Obsidian Odyssey

This showstopper of a villa near Santa Venerina is surrounded by manicured gardens, terracotta terraces and Mediterranean cacti. Once a historic winery, it's now a relaxing escape complete with a gym, sauna and Turkish baths. Outside, there's a heated pool (with plenty of sunbeds for everyone), there's also an outdoor kitchen and a barbecue for alfresco dinners under the shaded, vine-covered pergolas. There's more than enough to keep you busy, but if you feel like exploring, the city of Catania and the coastline are less than thirty minutes' drive away.

The Ancient Jewel

On the Cyclops Riviera, this modern home calls families of four to relax, steps away from a rocky inlet. We love how the main bedroom soaks up the scenery through a glass wall, inviting you onto the private terrace with sea views. Though the second built-in bed may be hard to access for some, it's a cosy nook for kids. Strong wi-fi isn't guaranteed, but the communal garden and seasonal pool offer tech-free highlights. And exciting excursions are at hand, including trips to nearby Acireale and Catania.

The King of Sky

Located between the Ionian Sea and the slopes of Mount Etna and set within the grounds of an organic pink grapefruit farm, this Sicilian stunner really does have it all. Boasting gorgeous gardens filled with aromatic herbs and an outdoor pool bordered by dry lava-stone walls, this captivating casa is perfect for spending quality time with groups of friends and family.

You’ll love whiling away hours lazing on loungers beside the pool before cooling off with a refreshing dip. Spend the afternoon getting your grill on before dining alfresco beneath the pergola. Read or recline on the covered terrace overlooking the pool before trying your hand at making your own homemade pizzas in the lower-ground-floor’s stone oven. 

If you fancy getting out and about, you’ll find yourselves mere minutes by car from Acireale, a coastal city brimming with Baroque churches, 11th century waterfront castles and thermal spas. Alternatively, tour Etna’s wineries or venture a little further and you’ll reach Taormina in just over half an hour.

Aromatic Breeze

Composed of a main farmhouse, a smaller house, and an annex, this estate is ideal for groups who want plenty of space to chill out in perfect peace. And, with incredible vistas across orchards and vineyards from the slopes of Mount Etna, along with a range of fabulous amenities, you'll settle into Sicilian life in no time at all. 

The former manor house is a true sanctuary, with cool tiles and crisp tones, where you can seek some respite on hot days. Along with a stylish living space, there's also a fitness room and a collection of gorgeous bedrooms – and all of which have been restored using environmentally-friendly materials. On the lower floor, you'll find a spa area composed of a Turkish bath, sauna, jacuzzi, and salt room, where all your troubles will evaporate. And, outside, you can splash around in the swimming pool or soak in the hot tub as you drink in the stunning views. 

Walkers can join one of the trails in Etna Park, winding through the volcanic landscapes – or, in the winter months, you can even ski. Catania, the ancient port city with a golden, sandy beach, is just 15kms away. So, whether you're feeling active, hungry for Sicilian cuisine, or want to lose yourself in the island's rich history, you're in the right place. 

Volcanic Rock

With direct sea access, a private swimming pool overlooking an outcrop of lava rock and the sea, a wrap-around balcony terrace with panoramic views of the seascape, plus two floors of beautiful interior designs and luxury living – what more could you want from a villa in Sicily? 

Stylish and refined, this place exudes cool – we love its contemporary aesthetic alongside quirky accessories and artworks that inject character into the space with elegance. 

Access to the first floor is reachable by an external staircase which leads to a large living area, dining space, kitchen and five luxurious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. 

Meanwhile, on the ground floor, you'll find a second living room with a kitchen and dining area and a further three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms alongside a games room (featuring table tennis, table football and a punching bag). 

Beyond the villa's sublime interiors, you'll find a well-kept garden with a swimming pool, sun loungers, a shaded pergola and plenty of Mediterranean fauna and flora.  

Located just a few kilometres away and all reachable by car – discover Mount Etna's park, Acireale, Catania, Taormina and Syracuse. Lachea island is also well worth a visit if boat trips are your thing and the stacks at Aci Trezza and Aci Castello are not to be missed.

Lapping Waves 

This exquisite villa can be found on the slopes of Mount Etna, just outside of Santa Venerina. It makes for an excellent base for exploring Etna’s villages, restaurants and wine cellars, and is just a thirty-minute drive from both Acireale and Giarre. The sights of Taormina are just 30 kilometres away, too. 

That said, you may find that once you arrive at this breath-taking home, you never want to leave. In a lush setting of gardens, palm trees and potted plants, this home is a delight to behold after a day of travel. Kick off your shoes and head straight to the upper terrace for a glass of Prosecco. From there, you can take in the sweeping views out to sea. Perhaps you’ll go for a dip in the private outdoor swimming pool, and stretch out beside it to dry off in the sun. Alternatively, you could make your way to the ground-floor wellness centre, where you can soak in a Jacuzzi and unwind in the sauna or indoor pool. Book a massage to really indulge. 

The villa is elegant, with everything you might need for a memorable stay in Sicily. Dine in style at the marble-topped table, or feast alfresco in the shade while drinking in the view. Set kids up in the projection room with movies, or gather around the grand piano for a sing-along session. There’s something for everyone at this envy-inducing home. 


The Envy of Etna

Set in the picturesque village of Viagrande on the slopes of Mount Etna, this charming villa is packed with character. Cosy and traditional (see the stone tiles, ornate ceilings, and marble fireplace), it also offers all the modern comforts you need for a happy holiday. There’s a sleek saltwater pool for cooling off on sunny days, plus a well-equipped kitchen for cooking a feast with family or friends. And with historic towns and beautiful beaches within easy driving distance, it makes an ideal base for exploring more of Sicily.
