With its classic interiors and garden full of olive trees, this villa is a taste of Sicily. There's room for everyone with two traditional sitting rooms, dining rooms, and an outdoor dining area. Right in the heart of the picturesque hillside village of Viagrande, it's a 30-minute drive from the dramatic coastline of Aci Trezza and Aci Castello and the charming city of Catania. After a day exploring fishing villages and local markets, come home to unwind in the private saltwater infinity pool and dine alfresco under the olive trees – sampling a Sicilian wine, of course.

Golden & Regal

This sunny villa lies on the Ionian coast of Sicily, with a large garden and a private pool that's open in the summer. Spread over three levels, you'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance, and the lower floor is its own apartment with a kitchenette and living space, ideal for a couple wanting extra privacy. Families will love it here – your host can provide a free cot and high chair, and medium-sized dogs are welcome. We think you'll want a car here – the city of Catania and the hilltop town of Taormina with its beaches are less than an hour away.

Idyllic Gardens

From the dining area, you’ve got a stunning view of Mount Etna’s ash-topped peak looming above this fabulous villa. If you’re not swimming laps in the outdoor pool, perhaps take advantage of the full spa within the old walls inside – a Turkish hammam, sauna, salt grotto and Jacuzzi await. Bedrooms are spread across three buildings – the main villa, a separate annexe and a self-contained cottage. Lounges and dining rooms set around old fireplaces whisper of the old world and you can choose to cook in the full kitchen or outside at the barbecue. Let the kids run free on vast lawns turned football pitches or spend the day hiking Etna or visiting the nearby city of Catania. 

The Garden of Etrusco

The whole family will love this fantastic apartment, nestled right on the seafront. With room for two adults and two wee ones, and plenty of outdoor space, it's a wonderful spot just 20km away from the city of Catania.

Step inside, and you'll find a bright space, with a hint of vintage charm. Mix your favourite aperitivo to sip at the curved wooden bar, before you whip up some pasta dishes. There is space to eat inside, but we think you'll want to head out to the patio, where you can dine alfresco and admire the views over a glass of prosecco. And, on hot days, there's nowhere better to cool off than in the sparkling swimming pool – bliss. 

The home also has direct access to the water – there's an outcrop of lava rock that allows you to take a dip in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Catania, the ancient port city, is roughly a forty-minute drive away, making it an excellent day trip destination. And, if you're feeling adventurous, you can explore Parco dell'Etna National Park, and take in the views of the famous volcano. 

Campari Spritz

This home is pure indulgence. Experience rural delights and luxurious wellness features at this villa, nestled between Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea. This restored and converted casale was once a manor house and winery and features the charming traditional features of its history as well as modernist elements of its present.

Surrounded by an enchanting garden of olive trees and aromatic plants, this impressive residence has been thoughtfully renovated to respect its original character, with exposed stone walls and traditional architectural features. Italian modernism takes centre stage in the home’s design-focused furnishings (you’ll spot Verner Panton and Joe Colombo here), whilst authentic rural charm radiates the character of the space. The hosting spaces are considerately designed for intimate moments and socialisation, whilst the bedrooms and lofted rooms, provide elements of seclusion for when guests seek some downtime with a book.

Here, it’s effortless to pass time stretching out on the loungers amongst modern artworks or floating amongst the glistening ripples of your pool. If you’re looking to get a workout in, work up a sweat in the caved fitness area, or kick a ball around on the garden’s small football pitch. Come sunset, you’ll want to be nestled on your terrace for relaxed aperitivos accompanied by your loved ones and panoramic sea views. As the evening winds down, head to your wellness area where you’ll be treated to a Turkish bath, jacuzzi, sauna and multi-sensory shower, all housed within a salt grotto – bliss can’t quite cover it. 

Your home is located in a strategic area for cultural exploration – drive thirty-three minutes for an awe-inspiring day up Mount Etna, where you’ll experience volcanic landscapes and lava flow caves. Or spend the day at Spiaggia di Praiola, a twenty-minute drive away, where you can sprawl out on the volcanic sands and snorkel the crystalline waters.

Visage View

Situated on the slopes of Mount Etna, you'll be within convenient driving reach of Etna Park and the nearby towns of Taormina, Catania, Syracuse and Ragusa from here. Featuring a private swimming pool, the villa's garden setting is where you'll likely spend much of your time. Out here, you'll find an alfresco dining area – perfect for sharing some authentic Italian delicacies, as well as a ping pong table and plenty of chill-out areas for kicking back after a day of exploring. Meanwhile, elegantly modern designs present a calm ambience inside, and the home gym room allows guests to keep up with their health and wellness routine hassle-free. 



Sicilian Spirit

This striking terracotta villa on the slopes of Mount Etna is a true oasis of calm. While you'll only have access to the ground floor during your stay, this includes the splendid landscaped gardens and sun-kissed terraces, as well as the jewel in the villa's crown – a large year-round saltwater infinity pool. Head indoors and you'll find artfully furnished living areas, a rustic kitchen, and two double bedrooms with their own en-suites. What's more, the villa makes a great base for exploring the north of Sicily, with coastal towns like Acireale, Aci Trezza and Catania all reachable within half an hour by car.




Etna Joy

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. 

Emerald Green Augusta

Perched just seconds away from the dazzling Ionian Sea and vast sandy shores of Agnone Bagni's beach, it's easy to see the lure of this newly built apartment fringing Sicily's baroque town of Augusta.

Spend lazy days on the quiet sandy shores of this lowkey seaside resort – it's all the coastal Sicily vibes you're chasing with its white sands, and straw parasols and deckchairs to hire. And when it's time for a spot of culture, zip over to Augusta (a twenty-minute drive) to explore the medieval Old Town's wander-worthy lanes. Perched on an island connected to the mainland by two bridges and overlooked by the mighty 800-year-old castle, Il Castello Svevo, it's an afternoon well spent.

Back at home, while the minimalist décor of this apartment isn't going to win any awards, you'll love the fresh, uplifting feel and clean, uncluttered spaces. Grab a glass of something crisp and head out on the balconies leading off both the living room and bedroom. And if you fancy a change of scene, there's always the communal garden and built-in barbecue area downstairs – a great place to meet your neighbours and pick up some tips on what's hot in Sicily.


Sizzling Sicily

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

A scenic swimming pool, space to soak up the Sicilian sunshine, and comfortable rooms to relax in – what more could you want from a holiday villa? Located less than half an hour’s drive from Catania (handy for the airport or souvenir shopping), this three-bedroom home is ideal for a sunny getaway. While the décor is a little bold (bright colours paired with period features), we think it adds character. Meanwhile, the terraces offer a shady spot for leisurely lunches or enjoying a barbecue. Or, if you want to dine out, nearby Acireale has plenty of tasty options, including charming seafront trattorias that overlook the Ionian Sea.
