Feel at home in this charming house that combines elements of Italy and Morocco. The living space has a more traditional feel, thanks to the wooden doors leading to the outside that let the fresh sea breeze in to wake you up in the morning.

Located in Cornino, a great starting point for discovering western Sicily.

The next day, take a thirty-minute drive to Trapani and relax on Mura di Tramontana beach before walking up the road along the sea wall to find a beautiful place for aperitivo, or continue towards the Ligni tower to meet a delightful tiny fishing village.

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

Sicilian Paradiso

First Aid Kit

Cute and compact, this radiant villa is a wave of exuberance in the Sicilian countryside. An idyllic outdoor space blends a kaleidoscope of colours to create a dreamy setting for your Italian escape – and that's not even the best part. 

Wherever you sit in the terrace, you'll have stunning views of the mountainous landscape that sits behind the plant life. It's a vibrant oasis of gorgeous tones and striking scenery. 

Wander inside and the bold colours continue. Royal blues and deep reds decorate the communal areas, whilst the bedrooms feature lighter shades and floral patterns.

We imagine you'll spend most of your time outdoors, whether it's swimming in the pool or lounging on the sun beds. For meal times, a cute table rests under the veranda – we think you'll love sharing fettuccine alfredo or ravioli here, especially during the dreamy magic of sunset. 

If all that pasta has given you the energy for an adventure, you're spoilt for choice for day trips. Trapani and Marsala – two nearby towns – give a glimpse into the quintessential lifestyle of the locals. A little further afield, you'll discover Monte Cofano and Lo Zingaro nature reserves, a utopia of raw, natural beauty.

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

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 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

Situated among rolling hills and picturesque vineyards of Western Sicily, this large villa makes for a tranquil base for family holidays. The home boasts a private swimming pool and stunning views from both the outside areas and from the interiors. The inside is all about traditional décor with sleek modern touches – note that you’ll need to climb stairs here. The outdoors is perfect for sunbathing and alfresco dining. We think a car is necessary here to explore the island and reach the nearby town of Battaglia, as well as the coast. 

The Country Watch

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

Outside, you’ll enjoy a terrace with a large dining area and a gazebo, not to mention the private pool and garden. Hire a car to explore the many beautiful sights in the area, including Trapani and the Selinunte archaeological sites.

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

Orange Nasturtium

The wow factor at this Sicilian villa is the incredible view. Best seen from the roof terrace or poolside, you’ll be treated to vistas of the surrounding countryside with a mountain backdrop.

And when you’re ready to see the sights, we suggest hiring a car to explore the island. The nearest beach is fourteen kilometres away and the must-see destinations of Erice and Segesta are within easy reach.

Situated in Valderice, an easy drive from the city of Trapani, this magnificent ancient fortress is made up of two separate villas with their own pools and spectacular views. The decor is on the traditional side and won't be to everyone's taste, but furry friends are welcome and music lovers can take advantage of the grand piano. In summer months the private pools are available, and there is plenty of space for alfresco dining and sunbathing. You'll want a car here to make the most of your stay – if you're not spending a day in Trapani or on Sicily's western coast, the village of Erice is close by with some fantastic local restaurants.

One in a Million

Sound System

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. 

Sicilian Seascape

It'll be hard to resist not spending every waking hour on the terrace at this beautiful home by the sea of Sicily. Inside you'll find a royal blue sofa that is perfect for lounging around as you read a book or socialise with your loved ones. There's an indoor dining table that is perfect for tucking into a delicious homemade meal, but there's also a stunning dining space with an open roof further into the home – fantastic for enjoying tasty food under the amber glow of an Italian sunset. The decor within the home is inspired by the ocean, fitting for the beautiful beachside location.

While away the hours on the sun terrace as you admire the view of the surrounding landscape under bright blue skies. There's a shaded sofa upon the terrace that is a lovely spot for a relaxing few hours with a bottle of fine red wine – allowing you to soak up the peaceful atmosphere as you listen to the sound of ocean waves in the distance.

The golden sand of San Vito beach is within a ten–minute walk away, giving you ample opportunities to spend your days at the beach with your family or friends. The charming town of San Vito offers a wide range of eateries for you to expand your taste palate and sample some incredible Italian cuisine, washed down with a refreshing glass of spritz.

The Royal Blue Sea

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

Verde Sprawl

This elegant villa sits rather picturesquely on the shores of Sicily’s western coast, within walking distance from a rocky beach and a short drive from the sandy San Vito Lo Capo. The place enjoys tranquillity and seclusion, with a private pool and a stunning sea view. Perfect as a base for a family or a group of friends, the home has the advantage of a separate annexe, where those seeking extra privacy will find a double bedroom and an en-suite bathroom. We think a car would be a good idea here, particularly if you want to explore the neighbouring towns and beaches. 

A Sicilian Retreat

Throws

If you're looking for a cosy, wholesome getaway in a traditional Sicilian village, this home could be just the ticket. Nestled on the edge of Buseto Palizzolo, a small hillside village, this feels like the home of a Sicilian family. It's warm and inviting, with wood beamed ceilings, homely furniture, and traditional checkered floors. Upstairs, you'll find comfortable bedrooms, with high ceilings and charming decor. But in the outdoor area, you're taken somewhere completely different than a quaint cottage in a village – you have a terrace that offers a breathtaking view of the rolling mountains and vast countryside, as well as a long glistening pool for taking that all-important dips in the summer heat. Surrounded by gardens of palm trees and lush greenery, it's a delightful oasis. 

This home is a lovely place for a group of friends or small family to settle into the slower pace of life while exploring the charming surroundings. You're a short walk from local supermarkets and butchers, ideal for picking up a hearty breakfast. The most beautiful place to enjoy breakfast, or any of your meals, is in the open courtyard. The cobbled street, cream houses, and flowered hedges make it an idyllic spot. 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. 

Casa Chiara

This slow-paced hideaway makes the perfect setting for a dreamy island escape. Perched above the bay of Cala Mazzo di Sciacca with the beach just a short walk away, you’ll find yourself immersed in the natural beauty of northern Sicily. 

From early morning dips in the pool to lazy lunches on the terrace and golden-hour drinks followed by sizzling barbecue meals, it’s easy to settle in and make this space your own. And when you’re ready to head inside, you’ll find the air-conditioned rooms set the tone for total relaxation. 

Days can be spent drifting between the pool and the beach or exploring the coast. Admire the views whilst walking to the nearby bars and restaurants, take a boat trip, follow hiking trails or jump in the car and drive to Palermo. Wherever the day takes you, this home welcomes you to enjoy it all with ease, comfort and style.    

A Brighter View  

This bright and cosy apartment is the perfect resting point after a day spent wandering the streets of the charming town of San Vito and spending many an hour on the golden sands of the nearby beach. Relax on the sofa in the living room to watch a movie with your loved ones surrounded by pristine white walls and blue floor tiles – the colour scheme is reminiscent of the ocean, fitting for the destination. 

Step outdoors to find the terrace, with a dining table that allows you to enjoy homecooked meals as you feel the ocean breeze and listen to the sounds of the beach. The sun loungers are a great place to unwind as you read a brand new book or flick through a magazine – paired wonderfully with a sumptuous glass of fine Italian red.

Within ten–minutes you'll find yourself at San Vito beach where you can rent a boat for a day out on the aquamarine waters. Alternatively, you can keep your feet firmly on the ground as you get the sand between your toes while building sandcastles with your loved ones – the kids will love it here. 

Ballet Of The Beach

Situated right on the edge of the sparkling Mediterranean and surrounded by sprawling palm trees, you’ll feel part of the luscious landscape in this impressive villa. Elegant and traditionally charming, this home provides an idyllic base for every guest. 

The impressive terraced lounge, which is shaded by an awning, provides the ideal spot to begin your days with a morning espresso overlooking the sea, before stretching out on the loungers to catch the Sicilian rays. The soft salty breeze will help you keep cool, whilst the refreshing waters of your pristine pool offer a revitalising repose from the sun. The outdoor dining area is a focal point of this home – it’s minimally modern, modestly traditional, and seamlessly elegant. Fire up the barbecue and set to preparing an indulgent dinner spread for your loved ones in the sleek outdoor kitchen – we suggest locally-sourced prawns on the plancha. 

While you could easily spend all day outside, step through the doors to be met with a tranquil blend of authentic and contemporary Italian design. With huge picture windows that frame the ocean vistas and plush furnishings in the comfortable living room – you’ve got a light-filled oasis to unwind in. Factor in the calm, pared-back bedrooms, and you’ve got all you could need for a blissful stay.

Another huge perk comes with the location. The Inizio sentiero per Monte Monaco hiking trail lies nearby, so you can easily head out on scenic walks. At the same time, the crystal waters and seafront tavernas of San Vito are 1km away, when you’re in the mood for a day on the sands. 

Edge of Destiny

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.

A Coastal Echo

Located in San Vito Lo Capo, just 80 metres from the beach, this home offers a comfortable space for up to five guests. In a villa made up of two apartments, this home is located on the ground floor, making it ideal for those with limited mobility. Although one guest will have to sleep on the sofa bed in the living room, this apartment provides everything needed for a restful stay, with the covered terrace the ideal spot for an alfresco meal. If a beach day isn’t on the cards, you can explore the Zingaro Nature Reserve, Scopello, Erice and Marsala from here.

The Island Coast

Pool / Snooker Table

Boasting enchanting views across the countryside to Mount Erice and beyond, this comfortable villa in western Sicily is a place for taking it slow and steady. Inside, exposed stone, timber beams and dark wood create a warm and inviting atmosphere. There are plenty of nooks for curling up with a good book as well as a convivial recreation room complete with billiards table and kitchenette for when you fancy entertaining. 

Spend warm days outside, floating about in the sun-soaked pool before devouring fresh bread with pecorino on the terrace, waiting eagerly as the grillardin of your group tends to the sizzling barbecue. After a good feasting, take the ten-minute drive into Trapani for its bustling Via Garibaldi and tranquil Villa Margherita Park. If a beach day is on the cards, Spiaggia di San Giuliano is around fifteen minutes away by car.

Peach Fizz

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

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.

Umbrellas

The real joy of this home is its knockout setting. Standing brilliant white in the rugged Sicilian countryside, overlooking the glittering Mediterranean, it feels like pure bliss waking up here every morning. The house faces northeast, so you’re in for some spectacular sunrises – if you can get up, that is, as the plush beds are irresistible. 

Slick, all-grey interiors are kept deliberately simple to allow the technicolour landscapes to sing. The bedrooms are minimalist yet comfortable and with food at the heart of Sicilian living, it’s only right that this home’s only interior communal space is a large kitchen and dining room. 

Outside, it’s delightfully quiet – the ocean and the soft melody of birdsong the only sounds. Splash around in the pool before enjoying an aperitivo on the terrace. When you’re ready to head out and explore, the picturesque town of Castellammare del Golfo with its ochre fishermen’s houses and golden beaches are just twenty minutes away by car.

Home Cinema Setup

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.

Perched on the hillside on the Sicilian coast, the view from this home’s terrace is simply sublime. Light stone surrounds the lagoon-shaped swimming pool which invites you for a cooling dip in the heat of the Sicilian sun and, wending your way around the terraced gardens, you’ll find a ping pong table, outdoor dining area and summer kitchen for days spent alfresco, all with a sea view. It’s a leisurely walk into the pretty coastal village of Scopello for pizzerias, seafront bars and a calm bay for swimming in the sea.

Inside, the villa feels beachy and traditional at the same time with wooden ceilings, crisp white walls and splashes of ocean blue. The table by the glass double doors offers a coastal panorama for long, leisurely breakfasts and the nautical theme of the decor is a reminder of your oceanfront location. The entire living area is open, thanks to an archway at the centre, making the kitchen, living and dining areas feel spacious and breezy. Bedrooms, with their splashes of artwork on the walls and cute wooden-shuttered windows, are a delight to retire to come bedtime.
