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.

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.

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.

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

Hot Tub

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.

This fabulous villa on spectacular Sicily is fit for royalty. With plenty of space both inside and out, and fabulous vistas across the island, it's the perfect place to spend some time in the sunshine. 

It's surrounded by a luscious Mediterranean garden, which fills the air with the scent of blooming flowers. The ultra-contemporary interior has been recently renovated, and the large windows frame the epic views outside. You'll find plenty of sun loungers, and there are two pergolas so everyone can enjoy some shade when they need it. And, best of all, there's a fabulous swimming pool where you can cool off on hot days – take a dip before tucking into a delicious alfresco lunch. 

A fifteen-minute drive will bring you down to Capo Bianco Beach, a mesmerising spot with white sand and crystal clear water. Agrigento is thirty-five minutes away by car, where you'll find ancient temples and a historic old town. And, if you head inland, you can visit rustic villages or do some hiking through the striking landscapes.

The tranquillity and the panoramic views are the big pull here. The villa is surrounded by peaceful Sicilian countryside that you can explore on foot or by bike, and the nearest beach at Seccagrande is a five-minute drive by car. There are historic sites and towns to explore, and tennis and golf facilities nearby too (if you can drag yourself away from the sun loungers). But relaxation is the name of the game. The villa is a great place to unwind with friends or family (it sleep up to six) and the outside space is perfect for lazy dining. 



Expanded Horizons

Shared Pool

Rooftop Terrace

Courtyard

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.

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

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. 

A Violin for Violet

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. 

The Ocean's Song

Exercise Equipment

Situated on the beautiful Sicilian coastline, this charming villa welcomes you to experience an Italian seaside escape. Boasting a beautiful garden, you'll have your own private oasis to relax in, complete with a swimming pool perfect for cooling off after a long day in the sun. There are some lovely traditional features here, such as wooden vaulted ceilings and blue patterned tiles, firmly planting you in these spectacular surroundings. That doesn't mean you won't have all of the contemporary comforts you could ever need, though – there's even a gym here meaning you can start your days with an energising workout. 

Once you're ready to seize the day, there's a sandy beach within walking distance, as well as the typical Sicilian seaside town of Seccagrande which has a few shops, restaurants and bars. If you're keen to find the best beaches in the area, drive to Torre Salsa Nature Reserve to explore the pristine shorelines, crystal-clear water and unbelievable natural scenery and wildlife. 

After an adventure-filled day, head back home to craft a rustic Italian feast in the outdoor kitchen. The wood-fired oven is ideal for cooking pizzas from scratch, and if you can't cook pizza in Italy, when can you? End the night drinking wine on the patio, as the sun sets in the distance.

The Sicilian Seaside

Wheelchair Access

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

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

Free Parking On Street

This pure white home is situated close by to the bright blue sea of Sicily, which can be admired from the comfort of your very own terrace. You'll also notice a fantastic view of the nearby rock formations accompanied by the glistening skies and verdant scenery. Relax on the sofa with a brand new book or watch TV from the dining table as you tuck into a light bite for breakfast. You'll wake up every day to the sound of the ocean waves and the locals having fun at the beach – making it incredibly hard not to spend every moment of the day outdoors. 

Head upstairs to the sun terrace to enjoy a bottle of wine with your loved ones under the sun – it's also a lovely little spot to dine on snacks together. Stretch out and put your feet up on one of the sun loungers as you spend the early afternoon in pure bliss before heading out to the beach. A seven–minute walk takes you to the golden sands for a day trip by the sea, followed by wandering through the streets of San Vito to discover local hidden gems and some delicious eateries.

Angelic Aqua

Pool / Snooker Table

This unique home consists of a charming blend of old and new, seeing tradition and modernity meet to create a unique space on the stunning island of Sicily. Nestled amid the verdant hills of Marsala, it offers you a chance to retreat into the tranquillity of nature whilst still finding yourself within easy reach of all the amenities of the town centre. Head just a few kilometres coastward, and you will then find yourself on some of the island's most beautiful beaches, characterised by their stretches of white sand and clear blue waters. 

Enjoy coming together in the cosy, welcoming interiors of this home, feasting on a smorgasbord of Sicilian specialties in the traditional dining room. Or, take some time to yourself and curl up in the living area with a good book (and perhaps a glass of the area's namesake wine). There are plenty of inviting spaces outside, too, including a bocce ball court and hydromassage tub that's perfect for whiling away a balmy late afternoon. Why not start the day with a dip in the swimming pool, before drying off in the sun amid the scents of Sicily, which include ancient lemon and olive groves as well as the faint whisper of the salty Tyrrhenian?

The Scent of Sicily

Rain Shower

Chic and modern, this villa is an ideal base for friends or family on a Sicilian retreat. Set over two non-connecting floors, both have living, dining and kitchen areas, so it’s a fantastic choice for people who like to holiday together, yet still enjoy some privacy. Step outdoors, and you can take advantage of the sun-kissed terraces, a Mediterranean garden and a swimming pool that’s shared with the owners, who live in another villa on-site. Ready to head out and explore? It’s a short distance to the beach of Lido Signorino, or hop in the car for a trip to Marsala, six kilometres away, where authentic Italian eateries and shops await. 

Sicilian Sweet Treat

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.

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

Bicycles

With at least five wineries just a short drive away – the furthest being just shy of forty minutes – this home is well connected to the wine route and the accomplished cellars along it. With their doors open to the public, you can make a day of hopping from one to another as you sample the wares and choose your favourite to take home. That bottle of Marsala wine, coincidentally, will make the perfect accompaniment to the Mediterranean feast you’ll undoubtedly grill sometime during your stay. 

When you’re not among vineyards, you might escape to another natural wonder – the beach. Drive along the coast to find your favourite among a number of rocky and sandy beaches and once there, you can fully indulge yourself for the day. Swim until the tides and sunshine has left you feeling that particular brand of happy-tired, or catch up on your reading as you lie back under an umbrella and listen to the waves lapping upon the shore. 

Back home you’ll find all the comforts you expect from a holiday home and we encourage you to spend time outdoors under the shaded terrace. Put out a platter of antipasto, uncork the wine, and simply enjoy each other’s company until the sun dips below the horizon. When you finally retreat indoors, you’ll find plenty of plush surfaces to doze off on, but none will rejuvenate you for the next day’s activities as much as your comfortable bed.

On the Wine Route

Nestled in an organic farm and surrounded by lush trees, this home feels like a private oasis. There’s a swimming pool for blissful swims and a sweet terrace for evening drinks. It’s worth noting the bedrooms are located in a separate building but with easy access from the living room and kitchen. It’s also possible to organise a range special extras – including massage treatments and a private chef. And when it comes to explorations further afield, it’s just 5-kilometres to Castelvetrano, while the sandy beaches of Selinunte are also within easy driving distance. 


Dream of Love

Nestled amongst ancient olive trees and wonderful palms, this home will leave you feeling like you've stumbled across a tranquil sanctuary hidden away from the world outside. Whether you're wandering around the garden or taking a dip in the pool, you'll always feel connected to the beauty of nature. The outside terrace of this first floor apartment provides you with the best vantage point of the garden, but also of Sicily in general. Look forward to enjoying fresh cornetti and Sicilian blood orange juice for breakfast while gazing into the distance at the Meditteranean Sea. Whether you're staying here with family or friends, everyone will love the outdoors area.

Sicily as an island has so much to offer – especially this area at the most westerly tip. Wine lovers will be glad to know Marsala is an eighteen-minute drive away – a town internationally known for its wine production. After wandering its historic streets, pick up a bottle of marsala wine to enjoy on the terrace later. This area of Sicily is also well known for its small but picturesque beaches. Lido Marakaibbo Beach is one of the most famous in this part of the island, and it's only a six-minute drive. 

Nestled Amongst The Trees

Indoor Pool

Heated Pool

Memorable times are guaranteed at this white Cubist villa surrounded by palm trees. Located above Marakaibbo beach, this home is in a prime location to spend sun-soaked days above the sea with your loved ones. 

The Cubist concept is evident in this villa’s interior and exterior – geometric forms take shape in the bookcases and abstract open-plan living spaces, whilst the architecture itself is characterised by sharp, linear lines that enable perspective viewing across the pristine pool, the manicured gardens and beyond the palm tree border.

Contemporary in style and soaked in white - this home invites you to unwind in its light-filled rooms. Take your pick of nesting spot – there are two living areas and kitchens here, so you can enjoy quiet moments as well as sociable settings. Wake up with the Mediterranean seascape whilst sipping fresh juice, then head to the terrace for a sunbathing session. You have another choice to make - cool off in the shared pool or sprawl out with a book, under the shaded pergola. After a barbecue lunch on the patio, fix up a round of Aperol spritzes and take in the blue views.

Marakaikko beach, with white shores and shallow waters, is only a fourteen-minute walk when you’re craving an afternoon on the sand. If you’re seeking a cultural excursion, drive seventeen minutes to Marsala, where you’ll discover the ancient ruins, The Grignani Palace and Baglio Anselmi Archaeological Museum – don’t forget to sample a glass of Marsala wine in one of the many charming bars.

Sicilian Cubism

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

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 Tale of Two Villas

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.

Crystalline Tide

This pretty little villa sits in seclusion up in the hills of Sicily’s north coast. Days can be spent in complete tranquillity on the terrace overlooking the rugged hills and the sea. When the heat gets too much, there’s a lagoon-style swimming pool for cooling off and a picnic table in the shade of a bamboo pergola for long, lazy lunches. This spot is particularly beautiful at sunset as the sky streaks pink and gold. 

Stepping inside the villa, pale turquoise tiles keep things cool underfoot and the pristine white motif is livened up with a seaside palette of deep blue throws and cushions on the sofa and lagoon-blue kitchen cabinets. It’s a bright, open space designed for guests to spend time chatting and chilling together.  

Location-wise, it’s a short drive to the coastal village of Scopello where you’ll find restaurants and shops. Zingaro nature reserve is also only a short and scenic drive away, and in less than ten minutes by car, you can reach the beautiful beaches of Sicily’s rugged coast.  

Olives by the Ocean

Located in the pretty coastal town of Marsala, this stylish villa is ideally situated for exploring all of the sandy beaches, ancient ruins and wineries of Sicily's west coast. Boasting a gorgeous garden, you couldn't ask for a better spot to soak up the Sicilian sunshine. Start your days with a refreshing swim in the private pool, then make yourself a coffee and enjoy the shade of the patio for a while. If you fancy a chill day at home, you have plenty of sun loungers, umbrellas and comfy sofas to relax on. 

We highly recommend you take some time to explore the local area, too. The centre of Marsala is full of great wine bars and restaurants, making it perfect for a bite to eat and a relaxing afternoon sampling some of the local produce. There are also some beautiful beaches here, meaning you have the best of both worlds on your doorstep. 

When you get home, it's time to get creative on the barbecue and try recreating some of your favourite Italian dishes. Dine alfresco beneath the pergola then unwind with a few games of table tennis in the garden. 

Sicily & the Sea

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. Come evening, fire up the barbecue and tuck in as the stars pop out. Inside, it's sleek, inviting, and kitted out with everything you need to make yourself at home. 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

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.

Tarocco Orange

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

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 

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. 

From the traditional features to the contemporary comforts, the owners have designed this space to enrich your stay with the magic of Italian living. Enjoy the delight of home cooking in the fully equipped kitchen or invite a private chef (available upon request) to prepare a celebratory evening meal – the perfect opportunity to bask in the beauty of the moment. Your host can also arrange spa treatments – ensuring your stay is elevated to the height of relaxation. 

For explorations beyond this rural hideaway, you’ll find it’s just a short drive to the historic town of Trapani, while the beautiful beach of San Vito Lo Capo is also within easy reach. 

Music of the Heart

 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.  


Phoenix Dream

Warmth, beauty and light shine from every detail of this home on the western coast of Sicily. 

Located in Marsala and just a short stroll from the beach, this is the kind of space that reflects and celebrates the natural abundance of its setting. From the sun-dappled garden and shimmering pool to the minimalist styling, this is the perfect spot for a rejuvenating reset. 

Set across one floor, you’ll find the living room and kitchen provide an abundance of space for relaxing, cooking and enjoying quality time together, while the bedrooms set the tone for a truly restorative stay. Outside, dreamy days can be spent lounging by the pool, sipping sunset drinks and dining al fresco under the stars. 

For adventures further afield, the atmospheric streets of Marsala provide a wonderful opportunity for exploring ancient ruins and sampling the famous local wine. There’s also great access to the coves and beaches of the shimmering coastline, while the Zingaro Nature Reserve and its spectacular hiking trails are within easy driving distance. 

Villa Amber

Steam Room

Revel in the Sicilian sun and enjoy a relaxing and memorable holiday with a stay at this stunning villa situated in the island’s Trapani region. Just a moment’s drive from a beautiful Marausa Lido beach, this home has plenty going for it, not least the huge glistening pool, a lush garden and the dazzling interior. 

A prefect retreat for families or groups of friends, you’ll find all the comforts to make your time here a happy one. Arrive to be greeted by the home’s impressive setting, with picturesque countryside and poolside palm trees swaying in the wind. The pool itself is filled with chlorine-free salt water, making each dip a refreshing experience. The comfy sun loungers invite you to relax and catch some rays while you enjoy your holiday reads and a cool drink. 

The inside is no less impressive, with its stylish décor and light-filled spaces, perfect for kicking back and relaxing after a long day in the sun. You’ll be able to rustle up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen and share them with your loved ones at the huge outdoor dining table. There’s also a barbecue out here to make those alfresco feasts even more fun. 

Before you head over to the plush bedrooms for some blissful rest, why not treat yourself to a relaxing session in the luxurious Turkish bath. In the morning, start your day with breakfast on the patio and plan your adventures. Aside from the idyllic beaches and sun caressed countryside, you’ll also be under an hour’s drive from the historic city of Palermo and just a short drive from the charming commune of Marsala. 

Lemons in Blue 

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. 


Aquamarine Air

DVD Library

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. 

Aqua Vista

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.
