This apartment can be found in the popular seaside resort of Letojanni in Sicily. It’s just a few kilometres from Taormina, so there’s plenty to see and do. We recommend visiting Isola Bella in particular. The apartment looks out over the sea and has a small terrace where you can enjoy the sunshine. Even when you’re inside, the sea views are the focal point thanks to huge windows. The decor inside is chic with a playful side, with charming trinkets dotted around. We think this home is perfect for a couple, a small family, or a trio of friends.

Contemporary living meets Sicilian charm in this traditional home. Located in the historic area of Ortigia, you'll be surrounded by ancient streets contrasting this stylishly modern apartment. Decorated with warm tones reminiscent of the colours of the desert, this is an ideal home for a romantic getaway with your loved one. Start your day by flinging open the window shutters in the bedroom and enjoying cornettis and fresh orange juice in bed, and end the day by indulging in a glass of moscato wine on the romantic outdoor balcony area. This home is made by love for those who are in love.

The Ortigia area you'll be located in is just as romantic to explore considering it is steeped in history as part of Syracuse. Wander the streets on your doorstep and discover picturesque squares to while away time in, or take a short walk down to Cala Rossa beach to marvel at stunning azure waters. A picnic here will be an afternoon well spent. Make sure to sample the local granitas during your stay here – they're something special.

Full of fashionable design-led flair, this apartment on the island of Ortigia in Syracuse’s historic centre offers comfort, class and beautiful views over ​​Archimede Square and towards the sea. A dark, sophisticated palette is offset by an abundance of natural light streaming in through the French doors. Open these up to reveal a private balcony – the ideal spot to begin mornings over espressos or to end the evening with a celebratory aperitivo. 

We love the colourful eye-catching artwork decking the walls here too – particularly the large feature piece framing the grand-looking bed that invites an elegant night’s sleep. Factor in the sleek kitchenette and the luxurious bathroom’s rainfall shower and you’ve got everything you need for a carefree Syracuse stay. 

When it comes to exploring nearby, make a beeline for the stunning Fontana di Diana or visit the nearby Cathedral of Syracuse. You’re also within easy reach of Cala Rossa Beach, as well as the Castello Maniace on the tip of the island. 


Ortigia Elegance

Juicer

This stunning apartment makes for a dreamy setting for holidays with family or friends. It overlooks the sea from a privileged spot on the island of Ortigia. There are two large terraces so you’ll find every opportunity to admire those sea views, and there are plenty of tall windows inside to showcase them too. We love how much room there is here, with a variety of seating areas so you can gather together or enjoy a quiet moment by yourself. Every bedroom has a private bathroom, making this an excellent base for a stress-free stay, even with a large group.

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.

Prepare to fall in love with this stylish home, set among the ancient streets and alleys of this unique island – the historic heart of Syracuse. About as authentic and charming as it gets, this place is all about exposed stone walls, shuttered windows and beamed ceilings. Mixed with modern luxuries and updated with plenty of contemporary chic, it's the perfect base for a stay right in the heart of things. And take it from us when we say you're going to love the two first-floor balconies here – they may be small but they're super cute.

Set over two main floors, the master suite is the first room you'll come across – and what a knockout it is. Elegant and spacious, it comes with high ceilings, stone floors and an arch across the large bed, not to mention the huge walk-in shower. The floor above is where you'll find the open-layout living room, with a cosy sofa, dining table and perfectly practical kitchen, all topped off by French doors to two sides opening out to your balconies. And further steps lead to a dreamy mezzanine bedroom and bathroom.

Head outside and you're never far from an important historical site, gorgeous restaurant or stunning sea view. With the whole island at your fingertips, you can even join a walking tour so you don't miss a thing.

Rooftop Terrace

Nestled in the heart of Ortigia, this home is an ideal base for a family or group of friends. With three bedrooms boasting en-suites, everyone can enjoy their privacy here, but the star of the show is the private terrace. With views across Sicilian rooftops, this sun-drenched space is perfect for alfresco meals or simply relaxing with a good book. Fancy a spot of sightseeing? Within easy reach, you’ll find the Temple of Apollo and Forte San Giovannello – just the spot to watch the sunrise – while Ortigia’s nearby market is a must-visit for some local produce to sample at home.

Nestled high up on the hills overlooking the sea, this villa offers guests stunning views and comfy outdoor spaces, complete with an infinity pool and alfresco dining areas. A short drive away from Taormina and the beaches, the home makes for a good base for families or groups of friends on the lookout for a Catania escape. Bear in mind that there are quite a few steps to climb inside, some of which are steep, so children will need to be supervised at all times. The proximity of a busy road also means that some street noise is to be expected here. 

The Ponderosa

Resort Access

This beautiful apartment is in a stunning position in the historic centre of Ortigia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s in front of Forte Vigliena, an ancient Bourbon-era fortress. It’s also just 10 metres from a sandy beach. This home has a private terrace where you can soak up the sun and drink in the wonderful sea views. The view stretches to the island of Maddalena up to Plemmirio. We love the elegant decor in this well-equipped, comfortable home.

On its perch in the hillsides of Mount Etna fringing the bucolic town of Randazzo, you’ll find this elegant manor house bringing all the old Sicilian vibes you’re chasing.

Climb the showstopping steps to the entrance and step inside this carefully restored home. A glorious mish-mash of old and new, original ceramic floor tiles and lofty beams remain to tell of its historical past. While sleek, marble-clad bathrooms and a made-for-action kitchen are firmly in the 21st Century. 

Groups of friends or extended family will love the separate annex housing a sitting room, kitchen, and two bedrooms for that added sense of space. But it’s the gardens outside impressing us the most. With large terraces hugged by citrus groves, tiers of dry-stone walls, and Sicilian hills beyond, the views out here look good from every angle. Spend lazy, hazy days hopping between the heated pool and tasteful sun loungers. Get together for Mediterranean alfresco feasts under the shady veranda. And then slope away to that outdoor antique daybed – it’s got siestas written all over it.

When it’s time to dip your toes into the local culture, the nearby medieval town of Randazzo (a five-kilometre drive) is an afternoon well spent. For something a little more glitzy, mingle with the high-rollers down at the chic resort town of Taormina (40-kilometre drive). Or pack up a picnic and head for the silky sands of Giardini Naxos – the scenic 30-kilometre journey is worth the drive alone.

Bellissimi!

For a central Taormina apartment, look no further. This bright and cheerful home is right in the centre of Taormina, just a few steps from the main street. You can spend your days exploring medieval churches, shops, and restaurants, all right on your doorstep. Best of all, when you return to the apartment you’ll be able to drink in wonderful sea views from the terrace. Sip cocktails in the sunshine as you watch the world pass by, three floors below. Given its central location, you might want to pack earplugs – you’re in the thick of things here. 


Scenic Spirit

Located in Piazza Duomo, this apartment is an idyllic spot to enjoy Isola di Ortigia and Syracuse. From here, you can reach the marina’s waterfront restaurants, Fonte Aretusa, Chiesa di Santa Lucia alla Badia and Cala Rossa Beach – just keep in mind this is a very small rocky beach. After a day exploring the picturesque city, you can share dinners overlooking the sea and enjoy sunsets from the balcony with a glass of Nero d’Avola in hand.

On the edge of the Ionian coast, you’ll want to drop your bags and immediately head out to the terrace. The interior is just as eye-catching as its Sicilian surroundings – take your pick of two living rooms to unwind, fall asleep blissfully in the elegant bedrooms and wake up refreshed with the help of your rain shower (each en-suite has one). You’ll find multiple balconies to soak in the panoramas, though you’ll need to climb some stairs – a glass of Nero d’Avola at the top will make it all worth it. Or hop in the car to Syracuse for an evening in the Roman city, where you can sample the local Sicilian cuisine amongst the ancient ruins. 

Ionian Marble

Modern and bright, this apartment offers a comfortable base for those looking to stay in the heart of Isola di Ortigia. You'll be a short walk from Fonte Aretusa, Syracuse Cathedral and the vibrant marina’s waterfront eateries and bars, while the Ionian waters of Cala Rossa are within easy reach. There's a modern kitchen, an inviting living room, and a laptop-friendly workspace for those needing to work during their stay. But the real standouts here are the balconies, which serve as lovely spots for evening drinks after a day of sightseeing.

In the Heart of Ortigia

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. 



Sweet Blue Horizon

This elegant apartment is perfect for a family, two couples, or a group of friends. We love the high ceilings and tall windows, which fill the space with light. The open-plan living and dining space is ideal for socialising, as there’s plenty of room – this is far larger than lots of homes in this area. In terms of location, you’ll be in the heart of the historic centre of Ortigia, just a few steps from the Temple of Apollo. The apartment is in a pedestrian zone, so you can get around easily on foot. 

Apollo View

Single-Level Home

Nestled inside a tranquil community on the slopes of Mount Etna, this handsome villa makes for a great place to base yourself while visiting this part of Sicily. Just a short drive from Taormina and the surrounding beaches, you’ll be well-connected while at the same time enjoying the perks of the home’s rural setting. We are particularly impressed by the outdoor areas, which feature a pool set amidst a landscape garden and plenty of space for catching the rays and enjoying alfresco feasts. The views are also pretty stunning and can be enjoyed both from inside and from the garden and terrace.

Directly facing the historic Ortigia market, this beautifully curated apartment offers a symphony for the senses, all while providing a design-led space that’s as chic as it is comfortable. 

Housed in an early 20th-century building, you’ll immediately be immersed in the colours, scents and sounds of local Ortigian life from the home’s beautiful balconies – allowing you to people-watch over a morning cup of coffee or evening glass of red, courtesy of the home's wine cellar.

We love the blend of old meets new that gives this home such a singular feel. Many of the home’s original features remain, with high ceilings, decorative mouldings and colourful tiles sitting alongside bespoke contemporary details, like designer lighting, polished concrete accents and handcrafted furniture. There’s an abundance of natural light here too thanks to the French doors, allowing the sunlight to cast its glow across the interiors’ greys, pinks, reds and blues that recall the lively hues of the market just outside. 

Speaking of the market, you won’t be able to resist cooking up a homemade Sicilian feast with fresh produce in the blush kitchen, or alternatively, asking your host to organise a private cooking course and a tour of the local area. 

When you’re ready to venture further afield for some exploring, you’ll find the Cathedral of Syracuse an eight-minute walk away, Fontana di Diana a six-minute stroll and Arethusa Spring ten minutes away on foot. You’re also a twelve-minute walk from Cala Rossa Beach, while Castello Maniace is twenty minutes on foot from your door. 


Market Symphony 

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

Hot Tub

Heated Pool

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.

A convenient base for exploring Sicily's east coast, the villa is perfect for sightseeing. It's only a few minutes by car to the beaches in Giardini Naxos, while the hilltop town of Taormina is less than 10 kilometres away. Even back home, you can enjoy the idyllic setting – head up to the rooftop terrace and you'll be treated to panoramic views of Mount Etna. Plus, with a seasonal pool, three comfortable bedrooms, and the ability to bring small pets for a fee, it's no wonder this home ticks all our boxes.

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

Nestled next to the beach in Syracuse, this home is an ideal base for a stay on the Sicilian coast. With one bedroom open to the living area below, we think this apartment is best suited to a family who don’t mind the lack of privacy. Still, when you can wake up to sea views, best enjoyed from the private balcony, sleeping on the mezzanine area seems a small price to pay. You’ll be drawn to the water in no time here – and you’re in luck, Cala Rossa beach is a mere 50-metre stroll away.

Laundry Supplies

If you’re visiting Syracuse as a large group, these five suites in Isola di Ortigia are just the spot for a family and friends retreat. With four suites offering individual kitchenettes and dining areas, there’s plenty of space and privacy here. Plus, with two sofa beds, you can accommodate four guests if you need the option. When you want to come together, there’s a rooftop terrace to enjoy alfresco meals and evening drinks. Though with eateries, bars, and waterfront restaurants on your doorstep, we’re sure you’ll spend most of your time dining out.

Isola Bliss

Courtyard

This cosy home nestled between verdant trees and rock formations is the perfect rural getaway for you and your loved ones. The high walls in the outdoor space give you privacy, making this your very own little oasis. You'll even spot fruit trees in the garden as you settle down for a homemade picnic on the grass under the sun. It'll be hard to resist not spending every hour of the day out there, especially with the refreshing pool and sun loungers, allowing you to relax in style no matter the time of day – unwind as you read a brand new book while the children play on the slide and swing set. 

Pure bliss is offered to you inside the home, as you snuggle up on the sofa to watch a movie, followed by playing your favourite new playlist on the iPod docking station as you cook up a storm in the kitchen. Swing open the patio doors to head back outside to tuck into the delicious meal at the outdoor dining table while you listen to the birds and the hum of the breeze.

A forty–one–minute drive takes you to the charming port city of Catania. Visit the harbour to watch the boats glide over the glistening waters, and wander the streets to discover local hidden gems as well as a wide range of eateries that serve global cuisine. Sitting at the foot of Mount Etna, you'll find a trail that leads to the summit of the volcano – an amazing opportunity for those who love hiking.

Fruit On The Trees

Situated in the heart of Catania’s historic centre, this penthouse apartment featuring pops of red, yellow and lime green greets its guests with a cheerful welcome. Dark accents in the living space add a touch of moodiness while the funky patterned wallpaper in the bathroom is sure to put a smile on your face each morning. 

Enjoy a traditional breakfast on the terrace accompanied with views of Mount Etna before heading back inside to plan your itinerary – will you begin with a trip to the famous Piazza del Duomo (reached in ten minutes by foot) or the 13th century Castello Ursino? Once sightseeing becomes hungry work, make a beeline for the seafood restaurants that surround the raucous Catania Fish Market. On days when you fancy expending a little more energy, the Salto del Cane hiking area is a forty-five-minute drive away.

Sweet Pea Petal

Jacuzzi

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

Built in 1860, this charming and wonderful home is utterly enchanting. Situated right on the Ionian Sea, you'll have a birds-eye view of the sparkling water, ancient Greco-Roman theatre and historic Taormina from the many terraces. Trust us – it'll be hard to pull yourself away from the scenery. We're also in love with the tropical garden, where wild bougainvillaea scents the air and leafy lemon trees provide shade from the sun. There are plenty of foliage-wrapped nooks and crannies where you can relax with a cup of tea and a good book and bask in the serene surroundings. As the day draws to a close, gather for a Sicilian feast at the outdoor dining area, sipping wine and watching the sunset.

Inside, you can genuinely sense the 150-year-old heritage. Every room is overflowing with well-thumbed books and antique furniture, while traditional features and handpainted tiles retain all the local history. You'll instantly be charmed by the sumptuous sofas, brick archways and old-world stylings – we know we are.

But the best part of all is the location. This home is perfect for exploring Taormina's ancient streets, only a few minutes from the bustling city centre and picturesque Isola Bella. In town, there are endless options for drinking, dining and shopping – from seafront restaurants to casual cafes – and the beach is a short ride away on the funicular, ideal for lounging in the sun.

The Wild Bougainvillea

EV Charger

Set in a quiet spot on the east coast of Sicily, this unfussy villa is footsteps from the Plemmirio Marine Park, a ten-minute drive from Arenella Beach and no more than twenty minutes from the heart of Syracuse. If you’d prefer to stay put, we recommend spending the morning flitting between the pool and a lounger before sitting down to a traditional Sicilian lunch, rustled up in the fully equipped kitchen. Should you prefer to leave the cooking to the professionals, your host can arrange for a chef to take care of mealtimes.


Sicilian Lemon Spritz

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.

The Sicilian Seaside Retreat

Sitting just a few minutes from Piazza Duomo on the island of Ortigia in Syracuse, this fashionable apartment blends sleek interiors with an unbeatable location to make a gem of a Sicilian stay. 

We love the sky blue feature art behind the sumptuous bed, echoing the perennial blues of your stunning coastal locale. Fix yourself a coffee in the modern kitchenette to enjoy on the private balcony or use this privileged outdoor space to catch the sunset over a glass of Italian wine. Factor in the home’s luxurious rainfall shower too and you’ve got everything you need for a stylish, carefree stay. 

Outside of your home, you’ve got a wealth of things to see and do within walking distance, including the Fontana di Diana, the Cathedral of Syracuse, Cala Rossa Beach and the Castello Maniace. 


Bel Cielo

This ground-floor apartment is an ideal base for a small family or group of friends on a Syracuse stay. Sure, it’s fairly fuss-free in style, and we think the kitchen is best suited to whipping up light bites, but this home’s all about the location for us. Dining out is a breeze with an abundance of eateries nearby, and Ortigia market is a must-visit. The Temple of Apollo is a stone’s throw away, or venture further south to discover the Cathedral of Syracuse, the Fountain of Diana, and Cala Rossa beach.

This lovely villa is located on the edge of the charming village of Savoca, just a few kilometres north of Taormina. The property boasts a stunning view over the surrounding landscape, Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea. It features great amenities such as a salt-water swimming pool and an outdoor kitchen area – ideal for alfresco dining with your loved ones. The home is within easy reach of several seaside towns such as Santa Teresa di Riva and Sant'Alessio, as well as the impressive Alcantara Gorges.

The Sweet Melody

Wonderfully located just a few minutes' walk from Piazza Duomo, this stylish getaway is ideal for a couple or solo traveller looking to infuse their Sicilian stay with a little romance. Inside, a neutral palette is offset by vibrant pops of blue in the abstract artwork, with natural light pouring in through the doors leading out onto a private balcony. This is where you’ll want to begin your day with an espresso in the morning sun and finish the night with a glass of wine before treating yourself to a soak in the Jacuzzi tub. When you’re ready to turn in, the grand bed backed by an eye-catching statement wall provides a luxurious setting for a blissful night’s sleep. 

When it comes to sightseeing nearby, you’re spoilt for choice with countless restaurants, shops and cultural hotspots within easy walking distance. Visit the beautiful Fontana di Diana, peek inside the Cathedral of Syracuse and go for a stroll along the sea with Cala Rossa Beach and the Castello Maniace also easily reachable on foot. 


Golden Crepuscule

Parking On Street

This apartment on the eastern edge of Sicily between Riposto and Acireale is a real feast for the eyes. Not only is the building in which it sits painted a vivid shade of pink that's instantly mood-lifting, but it also faces a gorgeous view of the Ionian Sea in one direction and Mount Etna the other way.

You can admire this panorama from the two terraces surrounded by verdant Mediterranean vegetation and palm trees, or out through the wooden windows. Although the interior can't hope to compete with these surroundings, the mix of rustic features and colourful flourishes are pleasing to be among. The patterned tiling in the kitchen and bathrooms is pretty, while the wooden furnishings and terracotta tilings add a real sense of homeliness.

As you can see from gazing out over the terrace, there's a pebbly beach that's easily reached from the home, but the nearest sandy spot is in Riposto six minutes' drive up the coastline. The port city of Catania is only thirty-five minutes away in the car too when you fancy a wander around the grand architecture and a meal in one of its seafood restaurants.




Hot Pink

Shared Pool

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

Made for outdoor living, this villa has it all. Staying here, you can tick a private pool, sun-drenched terraces, an outdoor kitchen and far-reaching sea views off your wishlist. From your home-away-from-home in the protected area of Plemmirio, you’re just a short distance from Syracuse’s historic centre, Ortigia, while Noto and Marzamemi are just a day trip away. Seeking a beach day? Some of Sicily’s most beautiful beaches such as Fanusa, Arenella, Fontane Bianche, Calamosche, and Vendicari are within reach for splashing about in the sea. 

A Breath of Sicily

Set in a dense forest on the foothills of the far-famed Mount Etna, this farmhouse-inspired home mixes all the exterior charms of an Italian countryside homestead with modern, stylish interiors. Each of its three bedrooms offers its own ensuite bathroom, and the cosy living areas make it a tranquil place to rest your weary feet. Outside, a wrap-around patio ensures plenty of space for alfresco dining or bathing in the sun, with the thicket of trees never too far away. When you’re ready to explore, the charming hillside town of Taormina is an easy drive away, making this a true Sicilian gem.

At Sunset

Stair Gates

With calming views of the Ionian Sea and overlooking Mount Etna, this Sicilian home offers sunshine, shade and relaxation in spades. Imagine yourself out on the terrace, sharing an alfresco breakfast as you socialise with the fresh, sea-salt breeze in the air. 

Afterwards, you might opt for a day of sunbathing, but with the crystal clear sea only moments away, don’t be surprised if you find yourself instinctively taking a walk there. Spend hours splashing in the water before heading back home for lunch. If you’re not one to cook every meal – and why should you when on holiday – you’ll be happy to find two pizzerias within walking distance. 

Emerald greens, deep purples, and gold all pop against an otherwise neutral colour palette, adding character to this space without disrupting the calm atmosphere. Curl up on the couch with a good book, take afternoon naps with the balcony doors flung open, enjoy an indulgent soak in the tub, and come together in the evenings for a family movie.
