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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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. 

Trapani Hideaway

Fenced Property

Outdoor Kitchen

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Black-Out Blinds

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.

Colours of the Sea

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

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

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.

Sauna / Steam Room

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

Extra Pillows and Blankets

Beach Essentials

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. 

A Life of Lemons

Situated near the charming town of Salemi in the Trapani area of Sicily, this country villa epitomises Mediterranean charm. From the vine-covered pergola setting – perfect for alfresco meals and Italian aperitifs shaded from the sun to the private swimming pool and sun terrace – it's easy to unplug and unwind from the outdoor areas here. The inside also gives off quintessential Italy, and while the classic designs might not be to everyone's tastes, they certainly add to the authentic Sicilian aesthetic. Beyond the villa, the surrounding Trapani region offers attractions such as the beaches of Marsala, Scopello town, and Zingaro nature reserve. 

Palms & Pearls

Pool / Snooker Table

Lift Access

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. 

Giardino Lagoon

Live out your Sicilian dreams in this picture-perfect, rose-hued villa, complete with impressive views across the Santa Maria countryside. Whether you're looking for a place to relax or a base for your cultural excursions, it's the ideal place for family and friends to spend quality time together. 

The house is situated in an elevated position, amongst groves of olive and palm trees. Step inside, and you'll fall in love with the grand traditional features and a host of contemporary comforts – think original tiles and ornate furnishings combined with a curvilinear staircase and modern accents. 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. If you’re seeking sands, you’re only a few kilometres from the pristine beaches of Marsala and Trapani.

Sicilian Rose

Indoor 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

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

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

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

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

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 

Wine Cellar

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

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

Cafetiere

This pretty modern villa lies in western Sicily, surrounded by vibrant palm trees. Close to the coast and plenty of nearby villages and towns, it serves as an excellent base for exploring Sicily. Escape the heat in the private pool or lie back on the sun loungers and let the hours melt away. If you're hoping to catch a tan, head up to the rooftop terrace for maximum sunlight and prepare lunch in the outdoor kitchen. There are plenty of spots for relaxing indoors and out, whether you're sitting under the pergola and pouring drinks or sinking into the sofas for a movie. Large windows in the living space help bring the gorgeous outdoors inside.

Situated between the towns of Trapani and San Vito Lo Capo, this home is in an ideal spot. Whether you're exploring the cave systems or Custonaci or feeling the sand between your toes at the nearby beaches, this home has something for everyone.

A beach break or a spa getaway? At this home, you can have both. Hidden in the villa is a complete wellness area, featuring a heated pool, sauna, Turkish bath, and a massage room. Relaxation continues outside, where you'll find a large swimming pool, sun terrace, and the highlight – a rooftop jacuzzi with views of Monte Cofano. Take a dip as the sun sets, or gather on the patio for an alfresco meal. It's just a short walk to the beach in Cornino, where you can swim in crystal-clear waters and admire views of the dramatic coastline or north Sicily. Prefer a more adventurous holiday? The home's location is perfect, a short drive from mountain hikes and fascinating archeological sites.

Emerald Splendor

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. When you want to explore further afield, the nearest beach is just 5km away, giving you a taste of Sicilian seaside magic.

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.

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. 

Terracotta Palms

 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.
