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.

This clifftop villa has something of a show-home feel, and it’s no surprise when your hosts are two brilliant architects. Both the indoor area and outside are absurdly stylish. The living space is all grey-scale and geometric, with a modular sofa and hexagonal tiles. The theme is continued upstairs, where there are sharp-angled mirrors, diamond patterns and Escher-inspired floors. We love the use of colour, particularly the turquoise bathroom, a reminder of the spectacular surroundings. Outside, amidst the Sicilian olive trees and gardens, a spacious terrace gives way to incredible views of the Mediterranean, with glimpses of Cefalù on the horizon. The nimble-footed among you should take the narrow steps down to the Tyrrhenian Sea below, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Or choose the more leisurely approach and wander 700m down the secret path to the beachfront. Spend your evenings under pink skies, with wine and conversation flowing freely around the alfresco dining table, before crashing into comfy beds, lulled to sleep by the gentle lapping of waves.

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.

Set in a panoramic location with stunning views of the sea and countryside, this villa has a fantastic location. There’s a large terrace perfect for long lunches and sunset drinks. And the swimming pool is ideal for cooling off from the Mediterranean sunshine. Inside this two-storey home, there’s plenty of character, and we love that all the bedrooms have sea views (two have access to the terrace). When you want to explore, the sands of Campofelice di Roccella are 8 kilometres away. The town also hosts a weekly market on a Monday, while the coastal city of Cefalù is 10 kilometres away. This place is a wonderful base for exploring the beauty of Sicily.

Quintessentially Sicilian, this villa boasts sea and mountain views, as well as a sun-kissed garden where you can make the most of them. Whether you're splashing in the private pool or sipping a spritz on the terrace, the scenery steals the show. Indoors, the design marries rustic touches with all the mod-cons you'll need. It feels inviting and comfortable – and, for those who struggle with stairs, the two ground-floor bedrooms will be much appreciated. When you're ready for a change of pace, there's plenty to see and do nearby. Spend the afternoon in Cefalù or venture further afield to Palermo for a day trip – it's about ninety minutes away.

A Sicilian Scene

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.

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.

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.

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.

This incredible villa perches dramatically on a cliff, offering sweeping views over the coves of Cefalù. You’ll step straight from the garden onto your very own private beach, surrounded by sparkling waters and lush greenery. The interiors flow across two levels, with spacious living and dining areas, a fully equipped kitchen, and panoramic relaxation spaces overlooking the sparkling sea. The surrounding garden is perfect for unwinding or enjoying magical evenings under the stars. The interiors are charmingly traditional and could use a little updating, but they only add to the home’s character. Its incredible setting, just a short walk to the heart of Cefalù, combined with the timeless Sicilian atmosphere, makes every stay truly unforgettable.

This home immerses you in Sicily's volcanic heritage. Lying on the slopes of Mount Etna, the two guesthouses that make up this villa are built from distinctive lava stone, and you have practically uninterrupted views of Etna from the gardens. Speaking of, the pool is the perfect place to soak up the sunshine, surrounded by native trees and vineyards. If you want to try some of the local wine, you don't have to go far – there's a hidden wine cellar carved into the rock, filled with bottles of the region's characteristic Etna DOC wine. If you want to explore more of Sicily's unique culture, the city of Catania is just a 30-minute drive away.

Hidden away in a hillside forest reserve with a gorgeous view of the intensely blue Tyrrhenian Sea stretching out ahead of you, this Sicilian cottage is the ideal place to unwind and recharge your batteries. Outside, there are so many relaxing spots, from the cabana day bed and covered outdoor kitchen to the swimming pool complete with a hammock hanging just above.

It's plain to see that most of your time here will be spent out in the open air, but the home's interior is just as idyllic. Although it has been recently refurbished, local design traditions have been respected, as seen with the chestnut wood ceiling beams, clay tiles and walls adorned with Sicilian artwork — much of which is for sale should anything catch your eye.

Although it's possible to do nothing more strenuous than sunbathe, your host can organise a range of activities with which to fill your itinerary, ranging from a sea cruise and cooking classes to outdoor massages and movie nights. The seaside town of Cefalù only takes ten minutes to reach in the car, too.

Coastal Colours

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.

Torre Salsa

EV Charger

With views across the Gulf of Sant’ Ambrogio, this home has tranquillity at its core. Perfect for a family looking for a coastal stay, just be mindful that all bedrooms have access to the outdoor space and swimming pool, so this may not be the best choice for those travelling with young children. That said, this home offers all you could want in a Sicilian stay. Sun-kissed balconies and terraces are ideal for indulging in the view, while the private pool is just the spot to cool off in the heat of the day.

Hit rest and reset at this impressive Italian estate set deep in the Sicilian countryside and just a short drive from the Moorish town of Piazza Armerina.

Surrounded by vast palm-strewn grounds and ancient vineyards, this place offers up privacy, space and luxury in equal measure. Take your pick from the traditional and oh-so-regal bedrooms of the main villa (each with its own bathroom), where lofty ceilings, heirloom-worthy antiques and chandeliers bring all the traditional Sicilian feels. Or, if sleek and contemporary is your vibe, you’ll love the interiors of the guest house across the courtyard, housing three additional bedrooms, each with en-suites.

When it’s time for a get-together, that vast alfresco dining terrace with an outdoor kitchen and wood-burning oven has got lazy afternoon Mediterranean feasts written all over it. Then keep the afternoon flowing with a tasting session in the wine therapy room – it’s a thing. Or drop and flop beside the pool for an afternoon siesta, followed by some rejuvenation in the private spa with a jacuzzi, Turkish bath and sauna. Need we go on? We didn’t think so.

Oh-so-Moorish

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

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.

Sea & Sky Blues

Beach lovers will be blown away by this incredible Italian villa, based in the heart of the Nebrodi mountain range, and surrounded by 15 hectares of private land. Made up of two separate villas connected by a courtyard with a gorgeous private pool, this home offers large groups lots of room to enjoy both social celebrations and solitary bliss. Inside features simple Italian style, with touches of charming decor that make every space feel characterful and inviting. We love the large dining area, ideal for feasting on pizza and pasta with your loved ones.

Go on a wander around the grounds and you’ll come across the home’s private woods and lake – the perfect place to have a stroll in the shade of the lush treetops when the Italian heat turns up. Summer evenings can be spent sipping on Prosecco while you take the short 400m walk down to your own private pebble beach, where you’ll find your own beach chairs where you can relax and watch the sunset.

When you want to venture out, Nebrodi National Park offers wonderful walks and hikes, while nearby Caronia Marina boasts plenty of fantastic restaurants and bars.

Prosecco on the Pebbles

Free Parking On Street

Wake up to the sound of the Tyrrhenian Sea each morning from this sublime villa set in the bustling seaside resort of Capo d'Orlando. It even boasts direct access to the pebbly beach.

Glistening white from top to toe, and offering up next-level sea views from nearly every room, terrace and poolside, this place has got rest and reset written all over it. Outside, a year-round relaxation pool is prime for soaking up the rays in style. And through a charming white picket gate, there's the glorious beach with sunbeds and umbrellas at the ready for cooling dips.

Inside, across the cool herringbone stone floors, discover four bedrooms, each as spacious and light-filled as the next, and each offering en-suites for a little extra privacy. And did we mention there's a spa with a Jacuzzi, sauna and a chromotherapy shower that leads out onto a sun terrace where you can drip-dry beneath the Sicilian sun? Now we're talking. 
                                        
If you can ever be lured away from this seaside haven, there's a bevy of chic waterside eateries and bars within easy reach in pretty Capo d'Orlando. Just be sure to make it home for sunset – the vistas from your private terrace are hard to beat.

Where Lemons Grow

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

A short drive from central Terrasini on Siciliy's northern coast, this sleek one-storey villa set upon sprawling grounds is perfect for two couples or a family who can't choose between beach and city. Glass walls and French windows soak the living area in sunlight, while the small pool offers the appearance of entering the home. The garden has plenty of space for kids to play and adults to relax, with its day bed, hammock, alfresco dining spots and mountain views. If you're travelling with children, your host can muster up a fifth bed for one of the bedrooms. The beach is just 3km away, while Terrasini offers plenty of distractions with its eateries and shops.

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

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

Pool / Snooker Table

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

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.

 Sicilian Perch

Heated Pool

A real escape, this home is nestled on the island of Salina, a UNESCO World Heritage-protected archipelago. Take the ferry from Sicily and revel in the wild beauty surrounding the villa, including extinct volcanoes and beautiful beaches. Spend your days hiking the nearby trails, swimming in the sea, and strolling to the pretty coastal village of Malfa. The villa is colourful and unique, with three suites accommodating four guests each – it’s the perfect set-up for several families travelling together. The gardens are filled with citrus trees and flowers, with a private heated swimming pool and a covered dining space. This is an idyllic base for a holiday to remember. 

Volcanic Paradise

Security System

If you’ve been craving a slice of island life, this villa in Salina may be just the ticket. Full of character, it blends Aeolian architecture with Sicilian style along with a dash of bohemian flair – each bedroom is named and styled after a different muse, for example. A short walk takes you to the centre of Malfa, home to a vibrant mix of restaurants and bars, while Spiaggia dello Scario – a beach famed for its striking rock formations and crystal-clear waters that are perfect for snorkelling – is only a short distance away.

The Sicilian Muse

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.
