Nestled in the heart of Sicily’s historic Valle of the Temples, this home is a complex consisting of the main villa and an additional annexe, perfect for hosting a large family or groups of friends. You’ll have lots of privacy here, as well as ample opportunities for coming together and enjoying communal feasts you can rustle up in the outdoor kitchen. There are also plenty of fun and games to be had, with outdoor activities ranging from football to table tennis. The large pool and Jacuzzi area is the place to be when you want to soak up the Mediterranean sun, and in case you’d rather relax indoors, you’ll find a luxurious hot tub here too. In order to reach the coast and explore the neighbouring villages, we think a car is a must.

Found on arid hilltops in the South of Sicily, the ancient ruins of eight Greek temples still stand strong in the Valley of the Temples and have long been thought of as an archeological wonder. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Valley might require you to stay a while – it’ll take at least three hours to explore – but it’s well worth it to glimpse a period in time where Agrigento was the Greek Akragas. 

About a ten-minute drive away from these 2500-year-old ruins, you’ll come home to this beautiful villa in which you’re encouraged to do as much, or as little, as you please. Start your day off by enjoying a cup of coffee and a good book out on the sun terrace found to the side of the house. From here you’ll be able to admire in the views, take a little bit of me-time, and plot the day whilst the rest of the house comes to life. Preparing breakfast can be done in the very generous kitchen before moving outside to dine alfresco, but the loggia has a small setup of its own if you’d prefer to breathe in the fresh, Mediterranean air whilst working. 

Take advantage of the pool as often as possible and find the jacuzzi among the rocks. Lounge, barbecue, and stroll around the beautiful estate whenever you’re not indoors appreciating the sheer size of the space. With enough room for everyone to roam, this home is more than a base from which to discover Sicily, it’s a little oasis.

But, when you do go out to explore, there’s a beach to drive to in under fifteen minutes, and Atenea boat hire will get you out on the open water.

This relaxed coastal hideaway puts the sea at the heart of every moment. From sunrise to sunset, the terrace offers front-row views of sailboats drifting by and waves crashing against the rocks. There’s a tropical garden for long, lazy lunches, a shaded porch for evening drinks, and direct access to the water for a spontaneous swim. Inside, there’s space to relax or work, with breezy living areas, a stylish dining space, and a well-equipped kitchen. At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on a sofa bed in the study. But with a setting this magical, no one’s likely to mind.

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.

For a wholesome getaway in the Sicilian countryside, it doesn't get much cosier than this. With traditional kitchen tiles, exposed brick, and a sink of pure Italian stone, it feels like you've stepped right into a family home. Perfect for those that like to stay somewhere with character, personality, and that feels like a home from home. The furnishings are timeless – you'll love sitting around your dining table with a cup of coffee, admiring the traditional touches and the tall wood-beamed ceilings.

Up the steps, you'll reach the mezzanine that serves as a second bedroom. But you'll also find the door that leads out to what's arguably the shining gem of this home, the terrace. We love its rustic walls of ancient stone, that promise complete privacy. And the cherry on top is your sparkling shared pool, complete with sun loungers and beach chairs. Relax while you look out at the view, taking all-important dips to escape the heat, and sipping on an afternoon glass of wine. 

When you want to get out and explore this beautiful corner of Sicily, you're around a twenty-five-minute drive from the whitewashed city of Trapani. There are plenty of rocky coves and beaches to relax and swim in the sea or simply wander around its narrow streets, soaking in the rich Sicilian culture. 

Trapani Hideaway

Safe

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.

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.

Set into a dramatic cliffside on the Sicilian coast, this modern-style villa is just moments from the sea. A terraced garden stretches before the home, with a shimmering swimming pool inviting you for a dip at the end. Loungers scattered across the lawn provide spots to soak up the Sicilian rays and there’s a spot to dine on the patio. Heading up the terracotta stairs, the first-floor terrace is fabulous – a shaded lounge and dining area looking out over the endless Tyrrhenian Sea. 

Slide open the glass double doors to blend the boundary between the terrace and living room, letting the sea breeze circulate. In here, a corner brick fireplace keeps things feeling traditional, along with the mosaic tiles in the big kitchen. On the ground floor, there’s a separate studio-style apartment for those that prefer a little more privacy, decked out in sunshine yellow that sings of holidays on the coast.

You’re out in the peace and quiet of the coastal countryside here, but in just over half an hour you can reach Sicily’s buzzing capital by car. Explore Palermo’s street eats, lively bars and history spanning from 5th-century Phoenicians to glorious baroque opera houses.

Discover the charm of Sicily with this beautifully located holiday home. It offers serene views over the sea and mountains from the garden’s terrace, and there’s a hot tub to relax in too. Inside, you can enjoy more vistas from the colourful open-plan living area – it’s a great space to spend quality time with family and friends. And, when you want to explore the area, nearby attractions include Tonnara di Scopello Beach with its crystal-clear waters and the Segesta Thermal Baths.

The Sicilian Sea Vista

On the Mediterranean coastline, perched on a cliffside by the sea, these houses offer spectacular panoramic views of the stunning Sicilian scenery. The layout of the homes make them a great choice for families holidaying together, giving everyone the space to spread out and really make yourselves at home. Experience the romance of the villas by starting your day on the large terrace with the sun rising over the horizon. Breathe in the fresh sea air while you enjoy a moment of quiet alongside your breakfast. A refreshing walk around the area will help you get to know the lay of the land, but you'll no doubt find yourself wanting to head back for a refreshing dip in the pool. Spend your afternoon settled on a lounger under the sun with a good book while the barbecue heats up for a traditional Italian meal. The two wonderful yet contrasting villas are just a short stroll away from the beach and 5km from the charming seaside town of Cefalù. Climb on top of the La Rocca overlooking the town for amazing views or explore more of Sicily’s northern coastline by boat.

A short trip from the bustling, colourful streets of the island capital of Palermo, seventy minutes by car will whisk you away to another world. This home in the west of Sicily sits in a region peppered with hillside villages, traditional fishing towns, and historic rural architecture. But this charming countryside abode has so much to offer, that you might fancy staying put.

The classic stone build of this restored ‘baglio’ is characteristic of the local area. Set around a paved courtyard with native foliage blooming all over the walls, this postcard-ready scene feels truly welcoming. Even better, you’ll be greeted with a hamper full of local goodies for breakfast. Naturally, you might want to set up brunch on the poolside terrace before dipping your toes in the pool, mimosa in hand.

When you need a break from the midday sun, you certainly won’t mind going inside to play table tennis in the resident's clubhouse, or relaxing in your own rustic villa. We love the exposed stonework in the living space, with grand timber beams propping up a wonderfully lofty ceiling. Minimal furniture lets the architecture do the talking, while the 'tricolore' colour scheme of the country kitchen is a vibrant little touch that makes cooking even more of a pleasure.

Apricot Branch

Sunshine and sea views are always a winning combination, and adding in this attractive Sicilian home to the mix takes it to the next level. This home can be found just outside of Cefalù, perched above a small bay of turquoise sea. 

The villa is modern and stylish with a cool and calm colour palette that lets the views outside do the talking. You can expect clean white tones and splashes of blue to focus on the coastal location. Everything you might need has been considered by experienced and thoughtful hosts, so your only job is to sit back, relax, and enjoy. 

The outside space is spectacular. A vast well-tended garden means there’s no shortage of sunbathing spots, and little ones can run around freely. The terrace is a lovely spot for alfresco dining, whether you’re tucking into a family breakfast of fresh fruit and pastries, or settling down for a feast of pasta and seafood in the evening. 

The villa has direct access to the rocky beach of the bay, so you can start each day with a swim in the clear blue sea. It takes nine minutes to walk to Spiaggia di Settefrati, where you can set up camp on the sand for a day of splashing in the shallows. Cefalù is a twelve-minute drive from the villa, and well worth the trip. Meander along the narrow streets eating gelato, and be sure to check out the Norman cathedral before popping into a trattoria for lunch.

Hit rest and reset at this impressive Italian estate set deep in the Sicilian countryside and just a short drive from the Moorish town of Piazza Armerina.

Surrounded by vast palm-strewn grounds and ancient vineyards, this place offers up privacy, space and luxury in equal measure. Take your pick from the traditional and oh-so-regal bedrooms of the main villa (each with its own bathroom), where lofty ceilings, heirloom-worthy antiques and chandeliers bring all the traditional Sicilian feels. Or, if sleek and contemporary is your vibe, you’ll love the interiors of the guest house across the courtyard, housing three additional bedrooms, each with en-suites.

When it’s time for a get-together, that vast alfresco dining terrace with an outdoor kitchen and wood-burning oven has got lazy afternoon Mediterranean feasts written all over it. Then keep the afternoon flowing with a tasting session in the wine therapy room – it’s a thing. Or drop and flop beside the pool for an afternoon siesta, followed by some rejuvenation in the private spa with a jacuzzi, Turkish bath and sauna. Need we go on? We didn’t think so.

Oh-so-Moorish

Beach lovers will be blown away by this incredible Italian villa, based in the heart of the Nebrodi mountain range, and surrounded by 15 hectares of private land. Made up of two separate villas connected by a courtyard with a gorgeous private pool, this home offers large groups lots of room to enjoy both social celebrations and solitary bliss. Inside features simple Italian style, with touches of charming decor that make every space feel characterful and inviting. We love the large dining area, ideal for feasting on pizza and pasta with your loved ones.

Go on a wander around the grounds and you’ll come across the home’s private woods and lake – the perfect place to have a stroll in the shade of the lush treetops when the Italian heat turns up. Summer evenings can be spent sipping on Prosecco while you take the short 400m walk down to your own private pebble beach, where you’ll find your own beach chairs where you can relax and watch the sunset.

When you want to venture out, Nebrodi National Park offers wonderful walks and hikes, while nearby Caronia Marina boasts plenty of fantastic restaurants and bars.

Prosecco on the Pebbles

This sun-soaked villa is perched on the edge of the Torre Salsa nature reserve, surrounded by wild beauty and sweeping sea views. Spacious terraces invite long, lazy meals and sunset aperitivi, while the private pool offers the perfect spot to cool off. The interiors are bright and welcoming, with stylish touches and all the comforts of home. With two kitchens and multiple living areas, it’s ideal for groups who want room to relax. At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed. However, with such stunning surroundings, you won’t be spending much time indoors. This is Sicily at its most serene.

 Sicilian Perch

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

Fenced Property

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

 This lovely family home can be found in Selinunte, a charming historic town in the south west of Sicily. Here, you have everything you need for a fantastic getaway – sandy beaches, piazzas with restaurants, bars and shops, and a delightful villa set amid an orchard and lush garden. 

The villa is bright and comfortable. Large windows in the living room let light flood into the house, adding splashes of the garden’s green tones to the colourful palette. The bedrooms lead out onto balconies, so you can begin your day by breathing in the balmy air and admiring the views. 

This villa benefits from a countryside location, so the views are lush and green, stretching over the grounds to the rolling rural landscape beyond. You can spot the sea in the distance – the nearest sandy beach is just twelve minutes away. After a morning splashing in the surf, drive to the Selinunte Archaeological Park to take in the incredible Greek ruins. 

For real R&R, head out to the villa’s pool – on a hot day, the water is so inviting. After a dip, lie out in the sun and revel in the peace and quiet. The outside space is a haven of flowers and trees, so all you’ll hear is the faint hum of insects and the water lapping the edge of the pool.

Music of the Heart

Less than a half hour from Cefalù, this villa boasts sensational views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. There's no better spot to enjoy them than the panoramic infinity pool. It may require a few steps to reach, but it's perfect for sunbathing, splashing, and swooning over the scenery. Inside, the design isn't the most modern, but the open-plan living area and trio of bedrooms ensure enough space for everyone. Plus, the terrace provides even more room for group gatherings. Ready to explore? While the drive to Cefalù is worth it, Finale di Pollina's rocky beaches and coves are closer to home if you'd rather stay local.

The house is situated in an elevated position, amongst groves of olive and palm trees.

Wake up blissfully in your elegant bedroom before stepping out onto the balcony for your morning espresso, accompanied by sprawling views. Next, the hydromassage shower and jacuzzi tub invite you to start your stay the restorative way – wellness is a priority here.

Heading outside, the patio is furnished with sunbeds where you can catch some rays and a glittering freeform pool that beckons you in for a refreshing dip. And, when dinner rolls around, it's time to fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast outside on the terrace – don't forget the prosecco. 

From this home, it is also easy to reach the charming town of Mazaro del Vallo where you can make the most of the seafood restaurants, quaint trattorias for aperitifs and historic churches, including the Cathedral of the Holy Saviour and Chiesa di San Francesco.

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

Located between Trapani and Cala Rossa, this striking villa offers everything you could dream of and then some more. Standing brilliant white in the olive-grove-studded countryside, overlooking the glittering Mediterranean, it feels like pure bliss waking up here every morning.

There's a true sense of luxury inside – think sleek tiled floors, plush contemporary furnishings, and bright sociable spaces. Slick, all-white interiors are synchronised with the glass walls which allow the mountain vistas and sparkling sea views to radiate within the space. The tranquil ambience continues throughout this home – the calm and minimal bedrooms are considerately designed to provide a peaceful night’s sleep. 

The outside space is just as impressive, thanks to its palm tree border and vibrant flora. Dive into the sparkling pool, then stretch out under the shade to soak up the coastal spirit. And, with a gorgeous outdoor dining space, you can enjoy delicious alfresco meals fresh off the barbecue. There’s a rooftop terrace here that we think you’ll love – it’s an idyllic spot for sipping cocktails, your Sicilian playlist, and the sunset.

If you're craving some vitamin sea, then the powdery sands of Baia di Cornino are only a ten-minute walk away. If you’re seeking some physical activity amongst your picturesque surroundings, head fifteen minutes in the car to Riserva Naturale Orientata Monte Cofano, this limestone nature reserve offers impressive geological formations and waterfront hiking trails along Piccolo Laghetto.

Sicilian Paradiso

This eco-friendly villa embodies easy living. With sweeping views and spectacular sunsets, it's impossible not to feel relaxed. The private pool has lazy afternoons covered.

The one-level layout ensures smooth sailing, as do the trio of comfortable en-suite bedrooms. You'll also be well-placed to explore western Sicily, including Trapani, Erice, and Marsala. But honestly? We don't blame you if you never want to leave.

Golden Aura

Stair Gates

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. 

White Mountain

Close to the ancient village of Eraclea Minoa, surrounded by Greek ruins and pristine sandy beaches, this contemporary villa is the perfect contrast between old and new. Boasting a beautiful garden, complete with a private pool, you can spend your time swimming and lounging on the comfy sunbeds which face the spectacular countryside. There's even a fitness suite here if you like to begin your days with a workout. 

However you choose to start the day, we highly recommend you spend the rest exploring the local area. The village itself has a few shops and restaurants, plus a magnificent sandy beach. You'll also find ancient ruins of a Greek theatre with incredible sea views, making this the ideal place for avid historians. 

When you return home, the patio awaits – tuck into a laid-back supper on the patio and enjoy the scenery. The hammock or swinging chair are great spots to catch a sunset – don't forget to pour yourself a glass of wine first. 

Bygone Beaches

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

Surrounded by expansive views of the bay of Palermo, Aqua Vista really is a breathtaking Sicilian escape. Soak up the beautiful landscape as you swim in the twelve-metre pool or relax on a sun lounger, before freshening up under the outdoor shower. Split over three floors, thanks to the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the sitting room/dining room, the transition from the outdoor and indoor living spaces is seamless. With direct access to the swimming pool terrace, you’ll likely have to play rock, paper, scissors for first pick of the downstairs bedroom - that early morning splash in the pool is unbeatable.

Found in a small village atop a hill on the outskirts of Buseto Palizzolo, this terracotta and stone home takes the rustic comfort of a traditional villa and injects it with a dose of luxury so it doesn’t just look pretty, but also sets you up to lift as few fingers as possible. 

Enjoy your welcome buffet alfresco, amid the vibrant green garden, before you’ve even unpacked your bags. Outside is where you’ll probably enjoy all of your meals considering the beautiful view of the Sicilian countryside. Have a chef prepare your meals or opt for a grilled feast by making use of the barbecue found in the outdoor kitchen. 

The saltwater pool will offer reprieve from the blazing sun when it’s at its apex – paddle lazily in it’s crystalline waters and enjoy a cocktail in the sunlounger after. With plenty of outdoor seating, it doesn’t just create opportunities for wine and antipasto for the entire group, it also allows you to steal away to enjoy a cup of coffee at one of the more intimate tables. 

Before watching the sunset from the loggia, you can wander the corridors of this beautiful home. Find your favourite spot under the exposed beams and settle down with a novel, or practice at the piano in the music room. 

One of our favourite features is the cobbled floor of the dining space – the farmhouse style goes a long way in making this feel homely, which makes it the perfect room for tiramisu, copious amounts of coffee, and a board game or two. 

Now that you’re among some of the most charming towns found on this side of Sicily, you may as well visit the mediaeval town of Erice or the salt pans of Marsala.

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.

Villa Dusk

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.

A Coastal Echo

An emblem of pure tranquility, this radiant villa on the northwestern coast of Sicily is made for peaceful escapes in the countryside. The sprawling stretches of green hills in the background showcase the privacy of your home. 

Wake up to a feeling of unbridled peace, hidden from the demands of everyday life. If you're looking for a restful place to unwind, this is the perfect place. Spend lazy mornings on the sun beds by the pool, cooling off with a quick dip in the fresh water. 

A cute table on the terrace is an idyllic spot to share arancini and Pinot Grigio, a dreamy experience enhanced by the spectacular views of the Sicilian scenery. There's also a sofa and cushioned chairs to relax in, a perfect setting when the sun sets beyond the undulating hillside. 

If those breathtaking views have inspired you to explore the island, your host can arrange a boat or car for day trips. For the nights where you just want an evening in, take advantage of the private chef service for a real treat of world-class dishes.

Verde Sprawl

Set amongst idyllic Sicilian countryside, this beautiful stone villa is an ideal base for those looking to combine the best of rural romance with the excitement of a coastal break. 

The home’s headlining feature is undeniably its wonderful outdoor space. Boasting a patio with wide-sweeping views of the rolling hills and the Mediterranean Sea, you’ll find yourself whiling away sunny hours in the private pool, catching some rays on the loungers and dining alfresco beneath the scenic pergola. At sunset, take a seat on the poolside chairs – a glass of wine in hand – and watch the sunset kiss the water’s edge.

Inside, the home is all natural materials and whitewashed wood, with beamed ceilings and contemporary-meets-classic decor adding to its bright and cheerful welcome. Factor in the bathroom’s luxurious rainfall showers and the added privacy of having an external entrance to one of the bedrooms, and you’re all set for a blissful stay. 

When it comes to exploring the area, ask your host to arrange a food or wine excursion and venture out on one of the many tours on offer. Alternatively, hop in your car for a trip to the coast, with seaside beauty spots like Mazzaforno, Sant'Ambrogio and Cefalù all vying for your attention. 


Sicilian Serenity 

Located on the outskirts of Mazara del Vallo town, this villa offers an enviable location less than two kilometres from the beach. We’d recommend renting a car to get around, as you’ll be able to access the centre of town, the coast and a selection of local bars and eateries in less than ten minutes. The house itself boasts a luxurious feel thanks to an array of amenities, some of the stand-out features being the private pool, outdoor kitchen and Jacuzzi bathtub. 

The Summer Garden

Sitting quietly on the edge of Torre Salsa nature reserve, this serene Sicilian villa is a little slice of holiday heaven. The outdoor space encourages you to make the most of the glorious Mediterranean weather, so regardless of whether you’re soaking up some rays on the sun lounger, swimming lengths in the sparkling pool, or settled down on the outdoor sofa with your holiday read, you can enjoy the feeling of the sun warming your skin and drink in the turquoise sea vistas. 

We love the steps leading up to the villa, with beautifully painted tiles depicting different scenes and adding a splash of colour and character. Inside, the open-plan kitchen and living area is bright and welcoming, with the shimmer of the teal walls adding a touch of elegance to contrast the masonry kitchen. As weariness sets in towards the end of the day, step through to your tranquil bedroom, climb under the crisp white sheets and you’ll soon fall into a blissful slumber. 

When you’re ready to explore the area, take a short stroll down to Bovo Marina beach where you can enjoy the soft cushion of sand under your feet, and feel contentment wash over you. 

Turquoise Twist

Set in the middle of a 20-hectare organic farm full of centuries-old olive trees, citrus trees, and cycads, this home is an ode to southern Sicilian living. You’ll notice immediately that this house was designed with indoor-outdoor flow in mind, with large windows and doors framing views of the lush Mediterranean garden. Once outside, take a dip in the spacious pool, relax on a sun lounger with a cocktail, or entertain around the outdoor table and sofas. When you’re ready to venture out, the quaint town of Castelvetrano is a short drive away, as are the waters of the southern Sicilian coast.
