Whether you're putting on a breakfast pastry spread for the family to dive into on the terrace, or barbequing vegetables in the outside cooking area, you'll love gazing at the pool's turquoise water. We especially like the idea of picking up some local Sicilian cherries and enjoying them in the garden with a view. Life moves slowly here, and that's exactly how we like it! 

The home itself is a mirror of beauty to the turquoise water outside of it. Modern in design and flawless in execution, you'll have a hard time tearing yourself away from this plush pad.

Modern furnishings and home comforts are make themselves known as soon as you cross the threshold – but this home’s true pièce de résistance is its exterior. A spacious private pool, surrounded by sun loungers and umbrellas, is the undisputed highlight, but don’t overlook the alfresco dining space and cosy nook with its outdoor sofa. When you’re ready to head out, the nearby town of Noto awaits, with its gorgeous baroque architecture and delicious local cuisine ready to dazzle.

Herb Garden

Flanked with olive trees at the gated entrance, this charming Sicilian residence offers an authentic taste of Italian culture from the get-go. Revealing panoramic views of the famous Vendicari Nature Reserve in the province of Noto, the poetry of the area truly comes to life through the designs and landscaping selected by architect Ivan Gallo. 

Elegant detailing runs throughout the villa and creates a sense of grandeur while remaining harmonious with the vibrancy of the interiors. We particularly love that all of the rooms overlooking the long belvedere terrace also have stunning views out over the rolling vineyards in the distance. 

Offering privacy and ample space, the six bedrooms are spread across both the main house and the pool house. This provides the perfect set-up for in-laws and groups of friends to stay separately if preferred. Meanwhile, the main living areas present several different sociable spaces to relax amidst the stylish design work. Admire the exuberant display of artworks, tasteful choices in wallpaper and an enormous collection of books in the home library – a literature lover's dream. High-quality fixtures and furnishings grant a comfortable stay whether you're based in the main house or the pool house. If you're staying in the pool house, you'll find that it is totally self-contained, with its own kitchen, dining area, lounge, double bedroom and bathroom and even a private rooftop terrace too. 

The outdoor spaces include a large swimming pool and a large roof terrace with a relaxation corner, dining area and barbecue in the main garden area. As well as a rooftop terrace boasting an open-air kitchen and dining area which provides a stunning vantage point for views of the bucolic landscape. Get the grill going and serve up a dreamy Italian spread featuring barbecued meats and fish from the local farmer's market, paired with Italian wine (of course) while you take in the stunning vistas as the sun goes down over the horizon in the distance. Bliss.

Take in captivating views of the waterfront from the garden. As with an abundance of natural beauty in the surrounding area, it's safe to say you'll leave feeling refreshed, revitalised and ready for whatever life throws at you upon leaving this Mediterranean retreat. 

In keeping with the home's proximity to the brilliantly blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, a blue, grey and white colour scheme is carried through the interiors with a nod to the soothing seascape.

Holiday Blues 

Hammock

Safe

From the soothing sound of the waves and the uninterrupted sea views to the manicured garden and calm interior, this is the kind of setting that will leave you feeling captivated from the moment of arrival.

Sea Supreme 

Ice Machine

Single-Level Home

This villa may not have the biggest or most memorable interiors, but it's ideal for soaking up the sun. The large terrace offers plenty of space to relax, whether on a comfortable sofa, a lounger by the pool, or in the saltwater pool itself. Even better, you're just a short walk from the sandy beach in Reitani. Completing the garden is a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen and dining table for group meals, although the charming restaurants in nearby Marzamemi might tempt you with traditional Sicilian cuisine. To sample more local produce, drive to nearby Pachino, aptly named after Bacchus – the god of wine.

Sicilian Rhapsody

Parking On Premises

With a front-row seat to the Mediterranean Sea, it’s easy to see what drew our eye to this apartment on Sicily’s south-eastern coast. A dream for beach lovers, the sandy shore of Santa Maria del Focallo lies just across the road, complete with sunbeds for hire and a bar further along for sunset spritzes. While the living space is compact, the sunny terrace and prime location more than make up for it. You’ll find local shops and authentic Sicilian eateries within easy strolling distance, while the seaside charm of Pozzallo is just an eight-kilometre drive away when you’re ready to explore more of the coast.

Sicilian Summer

This villa is located in the town of Porto Ulisse on the southeast coast of Sicily, just a few steps away from a sandy beach. With large suntrap terraces, a swimming pool and a summer kitchen, we imagine you’ll spend most of your time outside here. But when you do head indoors, you’ll find all the comforts of home, including an all-important wine fridge. You’ll need a car if you intend to explore – Pozzallo and Pachino are less than a thirty-minute drive away.

The Shoreline

This incredible villa offers the perfect setting for a special Sicilian getaway. Set in the sun-drenched southeast, it’s just a short stroll from stunning sandy beaches. The spacious outdoor area is made for relaxation, with plenty of spots to unwind or dine with friends and family, whether you want to soak up the sun or snooze in the shade. The private pool is a true highlight, offering a refreshing escape if you start to sizzle. Combining modern design with comfort, this villa has everything you need for a truly relaxing and unforgettable stay.

Check-In Time

This charming modern villa enjoys an idyllic setting on the southeastern Sicilian coast. Enjoy the sunshine in the landscaped garden or go for a dip in the saltwater pool. There are several spots for relaxing in the sun and shade – just don't forget the sun cream. Even if you're indoors finishing some last-minute remote work, large windows bring the sunlight in. In the morning, there's nothing better than stepping right out of your bedroom and onto the terrace. Cook up a feast in the outdoor kitchen, and dine alfresco on sasizza and stigghiole. 

This home is the ideal spot for a coastal holiday. Reconnect with nature during your stay between the coastal town of Marzamemi and the beautiful Vendicari Nature Reserve. Jump off rocks into the sea a short way from your doorstep, or walk down to the nearest sandy beach for rest and relaxation.

Calling of the Sea

Heated Towel Rail

Wake up to the sound of rolling waves and seabirds singing at this special apartment. Based right on the Santa Maria del Focallo beachfront, just across the road from sand and sea, this home offers the ideal base for those who want the perfect beach holiday. It features funky interiors and contemporary design, along with all the mod cons you need for a home-from-home stay. It also offers a beautiful private patio with uninterrupted sea views, so you’ll feel like you’re right on the beach before you even leave the apartment.

Spend sunny mornings out on the patio while you watch the tide come in, with a good book and glass of Sicilian orange juice in hand. Take the few steps to the sand, and hire out a lounger to spend the day relaxing by the sea. It’s easy to pop back and forth to your home, so you can cook up a delicious Italian lunch of tortellini and eat it on your stylish dining set – or head to a beachfront restaurant and treat yourself to a freshly made pizza with a glass of Prosecco. In the evenings, head back to your lovely abode to chill in the alfresco lounge area with an Aperol Spritz, and share a toast as you watch the sunset.


Kiss the Waves

Parking On Street

Balcony / Rooftop Terrace

Umbrellas

Overlooking sparkling blue vistas of the Mediterranean Sea, this waterfront villa invites guests to reconnect with nature, all while indulging in life's luxuries brought to you by the home's high-end amenities. 

Located in the heart of San Lorenzo, you'll be just a four-minute walk away from the nearest beach and residing in one of Sicily's most picturesque beach towns. 

At the villa, an indoor-outdoor living set-up means you can soak up the sunshine (and those views!) in nothing but pure comfort. Whether you're sunbathing out on the panoramic terrace, enjoying a dip in the pool or sipping on a homemade cocktail under the rooftop pergola – it's safe to say the scenery here will leave you awestruck. 

While we reckon you'll most likely spend the majority of your time making the most of the home's exterior – its interior is just as lavish, and you'll find four private suites, each boasting its own bathroom. 


The villa will keep you well connected by car to some of the most beautiful towns of south-eastern Sicily. Don't miss a day trip to Noto, for example – under a thirty-minute drive away. 

Treasure of the Sea 

Indoor Pool

Donning the classic whites and blues of a beach house, this villa in San Lorenzo is a mere three minute stroll away from one of the most beautiful beaches in Sicily, but it has way more to offer than just that. The picture of modern comfort, this home encourages morning lie-ins and refreshing rain showers, first-sip-of-your-coffee moments and alfresco dining, but most importantly it forces the connection between human and nature with a very magnetising outdoor area. The moment you step out onto the patio and see the breathtaking, panoramic views of the Ionian Sea, you’ll not be able to comprehend how it can get any better, but just wait until you take the stairs up onto the sun terrace. From here, coincidentally, you can also hop in the jacuzzi, so our recommendation would be to do just that, with a glass of prosecco in hand, of course, so you watch the sun dip behind the horizon at dusk. 

With a few wineries in the surrounding area, why not go on a tour – you’ll get to each of them in ten minutes or less – and bring back a few of your favourites to enjoy with the Mediterranean feast you’ll prepare on the barbecue? Of course you’ll escape to the beach as often as possible, but the lively fishing village of Marzamemi is utterly charming and reachable by car in eight minutes. 

Sale Mare

This Sicilian villa is all about the views. Located in the heart of the Val di Noto, you can admire the surrounding countryside from indoors and out – whether you’re lounging by the pool or preparing a mountain of pasta in the kitchen. We love the extras here, like the hydromassage feature in the swimming pool and the pool table tucked away on the lower level. Because of its remote spot, we suggest hiring a car to explore the surrounding area – make sure you add the Baroque city of Noto and the ancient ruins at Syracuse to your must-see list.

Villa Dolce Vita

Juicer

EV Charger

Perfectly suited to families and beach lovers, this villa is just under 700 metres from the sandy shores of Santa Maria del Focallo Beach. Within an easy drive, you'll also find the towns of Ispica and Pozzallo for when you want to explore. Or you may just want to spend your days relaxing by this modern home’s private pool. We love the shady veranda as well, with its dining table and sofa – perfect for alfresco meals and sunset drinks. Inside, there’s an open plan living space – there’s not enough room for everyone on the sofa, but there are plenty of seats at the dining table. This place is ideal for your Sicilian summer.

Sicilian Summertime

Ideally positioned to capture wide-sweeping panoramic views over the Vendicari nature reserve (a five-minute drive away), this stunning villa is a vision of natural beauty, seamlessly bringing the wild beauty of its surrounding landscapes into its own design. 

With expertly landscaped grounds – including a zen-like cactus garden – the home’s outdoors have been designed to match the undulating marshes of the area, while the inviting infinity pool creates a cool blue contrast against the rugged terrain. Spend afternoons lounging on the deck chairs or plunging in the pool. There's also a private air-conditioned gym should you wish to get a workout in. After a day of luxurious relaxation, fun and activities, fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast and watch the sunset over the reserve from the pergola’s banquet table. 

While you could easily spend all day outside in your home’s garden and pool, step through the antique wood front door to be met with a tranquil blend of traditional and modern Italian design inside the villa. With huge picture windows in the lounge and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in the living and dining area, you’ve got plenty to keep you entertained inside should the Sicilian sun get too hot. Factor in the gorgeous bedrooms with their private balconies and terraces – ideal for beginning mornings over espressos and enjoying starlit nightcaps – as well as the breathtaking bathrooms decked out in classic Sicilian majolica tiles, and you’ve got everything you need for a perfectly blissful stay. 

When it comes to exploring the local area, drive fifteen minutes to visit Noto and its 18th-century Baroque Cathedral, or head to nearby Calamosche Beach (also fifteen minutes away by car) for a day of sea and sand.

In the heart of Val di Noto, surrounded by ancient olive trees, this luxurious villa combines minimalist design with homely touches. Boasting a private infinity pool, start the day with an invigorating swim – the pool is half-covered by a loggia bar if you're in need of a refreshment. If you're an early riser, make a coffee and take a seat on the terrace to watch the sun come up over the Sicilian landscape. 

With access to a resort just a short stroll away, you can spend your days in the spa, practising your serve on the tennis court or playing volleyball on the beach. If you're keen to soak up some local culture, however, Noto city is a short drive away, where you can immerse yourself in exquisite architecture, wander around grand palaces and taste delicious Italian food. 

Speaking of food, you'll have your own outdoor kitchen here, which is ideal when you're craving a home-cooked dinner at the end of a busy day. Pick up some ingredients in town, or some seafood from the local fishing village, and try your hand at whipping up regional dishes. Dine alfresco under the pergola. Post-dinner, pour yourself a glass of wine and watch the sun go down on a perfect day.

Scapes of Sicily

Shared Pool

Looking out at the Mediterranean from Sicily's southernmost shores, this comfortable penthouse apartment is perfect for travellers in search of sunshine and sea air. While the open plan living area features some unusual interior decoration – the sofa has a prime view of the oven – there's plenty of room for you to get comfortable. The sea view balcony is perfect for a moment of calm, while the building offers a glimmering shared pool of which you can make full use. While the resort town of Ispica has lots of bars and restaurants to explore, you'll also be able to explore the very south of Sicily, with baroque cities like Noto and Syracuse in easy reach by car.

Sea View Attico

Located in the heart of the Val di Noto, this contemporary hideaway offers peace, privacy and beautiful views. Outside, you can spend leisurely days by the swimming pool. There are also two terraces and a barbecue – making it easy to savour the sweetness of Italian living. Families will appreciate the games room and the open-plan living space. Plus, children’s amenities can be arranged on request and well-behaved pets are welcome with prior approval from the host. You will need to bring your own essentials, but it’s just a 5-kilometre drive to the nearest amenities in Rosolini, while the nearest beaches are just 15 kilometres away. 

Moon of Peace

Dreaming of pool days, al fresco lunches, and Sicilian skies? This villa ticks all the right boxes for a serene stay in a scenic spot. We love the far-reaching views from the patio and pool – an uninterrupted vista of green countryside and sea-blue horizon that’s the perfect backdrop for switching off. The restful theme continues inside, where modern Mediterranean interiors set the scene for relaxation. There’s plenty of space to make yourself comfy across the four en-suite bedrooms, making this a great home for a group getaway or big family trip. And with beautiful beaches and charming towns within easy day-trip distance, it’s ideal if you want to explore more of this idyllic island.

Summer Love

Netflix

Stay in the southernmost point in Sicily at this Portopalo di Capo Passero pad. Fuss-free it may be, we think it's a good option for families wanting to be close to the coast. Netflix will keep little ones entertained when they're not at the beach, while the private balcony has sundowners and alfresco dinners written all over it. The rocky Spiaggia dei Due Mari is a short walk away – dip your toes in the water and swim where the Ionian and Mediterranean seas meet. Restaurants and other amenities are also nearby, so you'll be well-placed to explore.

A Chorus of Voices

Located in the tranquillity of the Sicilian countryside, this villa is perfect for those wanting to get away from everything for a while. With a large fenced garden and your own private pool, outdoor shower and kitchen, and alfresco dining area, you'll easily spend just as much time outside as you will inside. Whether you're cuddling up in front of the fireplace, getting some last-minute work done remotely at the dining table or heading out to work on your tan on the sun loungers, you can rest assured you'll be able to make the most of your holiday during your stay here. Try your hand at homemade pizza in the outdoor kitchen, while the kids play on the grass among the lush greenery. In the evening, gather everyone in the living room in front of the cosy fireplace for a movie night as the sun sets.

Tranquil and practical, this home means you're only a short walk from Santa Maria del Focallo beach, where you can walk the golden sands surrounded by pine forests and clear blue waters. It's a quiet beach, making it perfect for a romantic sunset or a family day out, without having to get the car ready beforehand. You'll find it an easy drive into some of the most beautiful cities of south-eastern Sicily, including Noto, Syracuse and Ragusa Ibla. Pick up some necessities, or explore the cities and their local cuisine at fantastic restaurants. Listen to some live music at a bar or sip an alfresco coffee under the Italian sun and feel like a local. There are plenty of cultural and historical hotspots for you to explore in the cities, from cathedrals and ancient religious sites to palaces and gardens. Whether you're looking for some retail therapy and good food, or you want to explore ancient ruins and learn something new, this home is the perfect starting point for your adventure.

Nostalgia For Sicily

Located in Santa Maria del Focallo, this home is a great choice for a family or two couples. While it may not be the biggest in our collection, you’ll have a small private pool, a choice of sunny and shaded seating spots, and an alfresco dining area to enjoy. At full capacity, guest five will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living area – some may find this set up a bit of a squeeze, but with three bathrooms, you won’t be queuing for a shower in the morning. When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find a sandy beach a fifteen-minute walk away, and a trio of historic towns – Modica, Noto, and Scicli – all with a thirty-five minute drive.

Sunny Seaside Dream

Jacuzzi

Moments from the beach, this single-level villa ticks all the boxes when it comes to location. A short drive away is the fishing village of Marzamemi, while Noto and Syracuse are further afield and ideal for day trips. But, with the beach practically on your doorstep and fantastic sea vistas to marvel at back home, you won't have to travel far to experience Sicilian life. There's also a private swimming pool and terrace ideal for alfresco dining, but the real draw is the rooftop, where a bubbling Jacuzzi awaits. The practical interiors could be more impressive – and two guests will sleep on the sofa bed – but the area, views, and sun-kissed outdoor spaces make it a good choice.

Sicilian Queen

Throws

There’s no doubt this coastal villa immediately makes an impression with its luscious garden and pristine pool. Located along the Santa Maria coast and a short drive from the historic town of Modica, this villa provides easy access to Ragusa’s golden sands and the Baroque cultural sites that Modica is best known for. 

There’s a unique blend of modernity here – with a combination of authentic Sicilian charm and contemporary comfort you’ll feel instantly at home. We love the neutral hues, sleek furnishings and light-filled rooms that open out to the terrace. Start your morning with an Italian espresso on the patio, and later head to the alfresco dining area to enjoy views of the tropical garden with a Mediterranean lunch. Spend leisurely days soaking up the sun from the loungers and enjoying the refreshing waters of the impressive pool. As the stars descend, share a memorable chef-prepared feast around the wooden table, accompanied by a good glass of vintage.

Your home is located in an idyllic area for cultural exploration – we recommend a day trip to Modica, one of UNESCO’s heritage sites, to explore the Chiesa di San Giovanni Evangelista and Church of San Pietro. Though with the beach so close, we’re sure you’ll be wishing to make the most of the sand beneath your toes.

Santa Maria Sanctuary

In the heart of Sicily's countryside, this home invites you to retreat from everyday life. The stone walls and palm trees provide a comfortable feeling of privacy, yet you're just a five-minute drive from the town of Ispica. The spacious garden offers numerous options for relaxation, whether that's on a sun lounger or in the shade of the veranda. Gather at the alfresco dining table for meals – you've got everything you need to rustle up something in the kitchen. This home is also in an ideal location for exploring southern Sicily – it's a short drive to the beach, while historic towns like Noto and Marzamemi are also within easy reach.

Located in the coastal town Portopalo di Capopássero, this cliffside villa drops down to sparkling Ionian and sea-forming coves indicative of Siciliy’s southernmost point. With stretches of rocky garden and encumbering sea views, this peaceful spot has everything you need for a blissful break.

The elegance of this sea-grazing location is effortlessly mirrored in the architecture of this home – think linear lines, modern finishes and a white, Ispican stone exterior that gives a nod to the area’s traditional architectural style. Inside, the natural design aesthetic blends with your host’s eclectic artworks to create a laid-back yet vibrant energy that synchronises with the outside’s coastal spirit. The white sofas are a perfect spot to read or listen to a podcast – or head to the sleek kitchen to prepare a light lunch of fresh tomatoes and local burrata.

With prime Sicilian temperatures, it’s not surprising this home promotes outdoor living. Framed concepts are evident here, with an outdoor living room that frames the sea vistas, as well as a box-framed pool mounted in the landscape. Spend leisurely days lounging out on the sunbeds to catch the rays before cooling off in the crystalline waters.

You’ll have everything you need here, but if you’re feeling adventurous, then there's plenty to see and do nearby. Discover the powdered sands of Spiaggia Scalo Mandrie, or swim over to the Isola di Capopássero, where you’ll find pristine beaches and the 16th-century il Fort di Capopássero.
