This apartment can be found in the popular seaside resort of Letojanni in Sicily. It’s just a few kilometres from Taormina, so there’s plenty to see and do. We recommend visiting Isola Bella in particular. The apartment looks out over the sea and has a small terrace where you can enjoy the sunshine. Even when you’re inside, the sea views are the focal point thanks to huge windows. The decor inside is chic with a playful side, with charming trinkets dotted around. We think this home is perfect for a couple, a small family, or a trio of friends.

This luxurious villa is a stunning base in east Sicily. It’s just above the seaside town of Letojanni and is close to Taormina, with beaches nearby. The villa boasts truly glorious views over the Ionian Sea and Taormina, which can be admired from inside as well as outside, thanks to floor-to-ceiling sliding French doors. Inside, the decor is crisp and clean, and you’ll find everything you need to enjoy a comfortable, relaxing stay. There’s even a gym and a sauna. Outside, the infinity pool is the main focus – aside from the views. The pool has a hydromassage area, and there’s a separate Jacuzzi. We love the alfresco dining area – there’s a barbecue to cook on too.

This villa on the south coastline of Sicily sits as close to the Ionian Sea as it's possible to get without the water lapping against your bed every morning. It's a wonderfully picturesque spot, but what's perhaps most impressive is the villa's long list of amenities that will prise your attention away from this peaceful vista.

Given the island's fruitful climate, it won't come as a surprise to learn that many of these can be found outside. There's something for every mood out here, whether you want to play in the swimming pool, relax in the Jacuzzi or feast yourselves silly on the pergola's alfresco dining table – all with the unmistakable sound and scent of the sea to keep you company.

When you finally have to head inside, we're sure that you'll like what you see. The interior design mixes rustic features, such as patches of exposed stonework and the villa's old wine press, with more contemporary flashes – the minimalist kitchen and whitewashed bedrooms are a case in point. We also like that the split between the main villa, guest house and suite offers a degree of welcome flexibility for larger groups.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the island, the first port of call has to be the stretch of beach that sits directly opposite the home. Beyond that, there are restaurants and bars a short walk away in the coastal town of Letojanni, plus the port city of Catania lies well within reach for a day trip.

Wake up to sea breezes and glittering sunshine at this peaceful villa overlooking the turquoise Tyrrhenian. Inside the abode, expect an eye-catching blend of colour and texture – we loved the exposed stone walls and the purple mosaic bathrooms. 

When you’re not kicking back with a Negroni in the open-plan living space or tucking into fresh Sicilian produce whipped up in your fully-equipped kitchen, you’ll be enjoying a quiet moment on the shaded terrace or splashing about with your loved ones in the pool. 

When you fancy a change of scenery, you’re a five-minute drive from the sandy Movida Beach and ten minutes from the heart of Letojanni, a charming fishing village home to quaint winding streets and no-fuss restaurants. If you’re keen to brush up on your history knowledge, the chic hilltop town of Taormina with its Greco-Roman amphitheatre and views of Mount Etna is a fifteen-minute car ride away.

The panoramic views across the Ionian and Taormina Bay, are what really caught our eye at this Letojanni villa. This home is all about maximising Sicilian living – multiple outdoor terraces for dining and lounging, a pristine pool and sun-bathing area, and minimalist bedrooms that open out onto the sea views. These vistas don't come so easy here – access to the villa is via a steep road – but it's worth the effort. The nearest beach is 2km away in Letojanni, while the cities of Taormina, Catania and Syracuse are great options for a day trip.

This is one of those villas that takes your breath away the moment you enter. Lined with palm trees, layered with viewing spots of the Mediterranean Sea and formed by deluxe fittings, it's a home drenched in luxury. 

Whichever part of the home you visit, you'll be able to see the rugged coastline blend into the deep blue water of the ocean. It's a view you never tire of, especially if you're seeing it from the comfort of the sun beds on the terrace.

That terrace is where you'll spend most of your time, whether it's catching some sun on the beds or going for a swim in the pool. Furthering the vibe of paradise, a cute outdoor table faces the shoreline, perfect for sharing a deep Burgundy wine with an incredible view. 

We appreciate that for most of you, the views aren't enough – you want to explore Italy for yourself. Hop in the car and you're spoilt for choice on day trip options – Taormina, Syracuse and Catania offer an insight into urban coastal living. 

For striking natural beauty, Mount Etna, the Alcantara gorges and the fishing villages on the Cyclops Riviera are just a short drive away.

Eruptions Of Colour

Balcony / Patio

This historic home, which dates back to 1900, enjoys both the tranquillity of its residential setting and close proximity to Taormina's centre and its many sights. A short ride on the cable car will also take you to the beach. Spread across two floors, you’ll need to climb some stairs here, but once upstairs you’ll be rewarded with stunning views from the two private terraces. There’s enough space here for a large family or a group of friends, and the place is also well-equipped to accommodate children. Pop open a bottle of Marsala and relax on the terrace, taking in the views of the bay. 

The Sun Bay

Out-of-this-world vistas take centre stage at this former watchtower overlooking the glistening bay of Isola Bella. Expertly converted with design-savvy interiors, the three-storey home takes full advantage of its stunning location. There's a charming balcony off the free-flowing living area – the perfect spot for your morning coffee. But take it from us – the view is best admired from the private roof terrace, with a hot tub perfectly placed to take in the infinite horizon. Ready to explore? You're just a short walk from the beach and cable car to Taormina's old town for alfresco dining and people-watching in the central piazza. 

Mediterranean Sundae

For a central Taormina apartment, look no further. This bright and cheerful home is right in the centre of Taormina, just a few steps from the main street. You can spend your days exploring medieval churches, shops, and restaurants, all right on your doorstep. Best of all, when you return to the apartment you’ll be able to drink in wonderful sea views from the terrace. Sip cocktails in the sunshine as you watch the world pass by, three floors below. Given its central location, you might want to pack earplugs – you’re in the thick of things here. 


Scenic Spirit

Heated Pool

On the coast of the Ionian Sea, the ancient city of Taormina sits in Sicily’s eastern region – a place where dramatic shorelines, bustling towns, and luxurious homes live in harmony. At the curve of this striking bay, Isola Bella Beach is the most beautiful spot for a picnic on the sands while you admire the scenery. But just an eighteen-minute walk from here, we know of an even better viewpoint.

This home is a true example of luxury. While the exterior looks like a monument of old-world Italy that you might see in the guidebook, this castle-like, stone tower is your apartment. Set over three lofty levels, the elegant, modern interiors are only made more tasteful by the generous welcome hamper from your host. Full of local goodies, you can take something out to nibble while you explore your new surroundings.

You can’t help but immediately be drawn to the panoramic balcony and roof terrace. Views out to Isola Bella are simply unmatched, especially when you’re perched on the tower’s ramparts with a glass of Sicilian wine, reclining on a sun lounger, or soaking in the outdoor hot tub under the stars.

Upon the Ramparts

Library of Books

Built in 1860, this charming and wonderful home is utterly enchanting. Situated right on the Ionian Sea, you'll have a birds-eye view of the sparkling water, ancient Greco-Roman theatre and historic Taormina from the many terraces. Trust us – it'll be hard to pull yourself away from the scenery. We're also in love with the tropical garden, where wild bougainvillaea scents the air and leafy lemon trees provide shade from the sun. There are plenty of foliage-wrapped nooks and crannies where you can relax with a cup of tea and a good book and bask in the serene surroundings. As the day draws to a close, gather for a Sicilian feast at the outdoor dining area, sipping wine and watching the sunset.

Inside, you can genuinely sense the 150-year-old heritage. Every room is overflowing with well-thumbed books and antique furniture, while traditional features and handpainted tiles retain all the local history. You'll instantly be charmed by the sumptuous sofas, brick archways and old-world stylings – we know we are.

But the best part of all is the location. This home is perfect for exploring Taormina's ancient streets, only a few minutes from the bustling city centre and picturesque Isola Bella. In town, there are endless options for drinking, dining and shopping – from seafront restaurants to casual cafes – and the beach is a short ride away on the funicular, ideal for lounging in the sun.

The Wild Bougainvillea

Self Check-in / Check-out

When we say this villa blends in with its leafy green surroundings, we mean it. A facade coated in ivy, it sits against a backdrop of towering ancient trees atop a hill on the Sicilian coast. The view from the infinity-edge swimming pool is simply stunning – looking out over the dramatic Sicilian coastline as the Mediterranean stretches before you. Wandering the terraced gardens is like the perambulations of yesteryear when glorious villas were flanked by cypress trees and the sea air was a cure-all. Wending your way beneath rose-covered archways, you’ll find the lounge terrace with plush furniture for tipples outdoors.

Inside, you can feel the fact that this place was built in the 19th century. The hand-painted tiled floor and twisting vines on the walls of the vast dining room are a testament to that. There are a number of grand reception rooms and lounges to choose from, giving the group plenty of space to spread out. Each piece of dark wood furniture, gilded book and upholstered armchair feels like an antique carefully selected. An upright piano in the main lounge really sets the scene. Bedrooms are odes to the old world, with vintage gramophones and lacquered dressers and wardrobes. Some come with Jacuzzi tubs in their ensuites. 

The best bit is, this villa is just a fifteen-minute stroll from the courtyard restaurants, hidden cocktails bars and buzzing nightlife of Taormina, yet you can retreat to the peace and quiet of the coast once you’re done exploring.

Fenced Property

With the sandy beaches of the Ionian Sea at its doorstep, this home is heaven for snorkelling lovers. For those who enjoy a slightly slower pace of life, the nearby charming fishing and lavish seaside resorts are just a few minutes walk away.

Whether it's rock-climbing to Monte Toro in the historic town of Taormino or summer events at the ancient Greek Theatre in the lap of Mount Etna, Nerello is surrounded by points of history, water-sports and culture. 

However, when you have your very own private paradise, you don't ever need to leave. Find two apartments with a private beach and hot tubs on the roof-terrace – it’s hard to imagine a more idyllic setting. Sip on sumptuous local wine on the roof terrace before settling down for some seafood linguine. 

For an afternoon somewhere in between relaxing and snorkelling, you can just while away the hours on the golden sands of the beach. Bask in the sun-kissed glow of the Mediterranean sun whilst taking in the beauty of your surroundings.

It's hard to put a finger on what it is exactly that makes this address so extraordinary. Sure, the hillside location above the Sicilian coastline more than delivers when it comes to dramatically beautiful landscape to gaze out upon, but we've got a feeling that the villa would still wow in even the most uninspiring of settings.

A lot of that is down to the effortlessly chic design that can be found throughout the four floors, with stylish furnishings, large light-filled communal areas and flooring so shiny that you can probably see your own face staring back in it. It does no harm that there are also a fair few balconies that offer a splendid vantage point from which to admire the scenery.

As well as being easy on the eye, there's an enviable list of amenities at guests' disposal. Many of these lie outside, including the heated saltwater swimming pool and Jacuzzi surrounded by loungers, plus the covered outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and dining table. However, there's plenty more to be discovered inside, not least the gym, massage room and sauna that can be found on the ground level.

You might just feel no pressing need to leave the address, but there's a whole lot to see and do nearby. There's a sandy beach all of 600m away from the home, while the nearby towns of Naxos and Taormina offer a great array of restaurants, shops and attractions, too.

No Sweeter Sight

Nestled along the cliffs of Taormina, this orange-sherbert-hued villa offers impressive views of the rocky precipices that drop down to the Ionian, sea-forming coves and the golden beaches of Isola. With encumbering mountain views, enjoy tranquil moments amidst the Mediterranean fauna and flora that fragrances the air. With a private pool, bright traditional living space and a spectacular view of the surrounding landscape, this Sicilian villa ticks all the boxes for a coastal retreat.

With prime Sicilian temperatures, it’s not surprising this home promotes outdoor living. This home has a hydromassage pool, sleek daybeds for siestas under the shade of the palm trees and a cool, covered patio which is perfect for balmy, alfresco dinners.

When you need a repose from the sun, retreat to the inside where you’ll find an oasis of amenities. The traditional design aesthetic blends with minimal modern furnishings and pops of orange to create a laid-back vibe that synchronises with the region’s coastal spirit. The plush sofas are a perfect spot to read or listen to a podcast, whilst the dynamic kitchen is a delight to prepare a classic Sicilian dish of Pasta con le Sarde in.  
 
If you want to get out and explore, beeline for Isola Bella to admire the island’s nature reserve and shallow blue waters (only a twenty-minute drive away) or drive an hour to indulge the day at Mount Etna, where you’ll be spoilt with volcanic landscapes, unfolding vineyards and lava flow caves.

Shades of Tangerine

This villa is all about the views. Perched on Sicily’s east coast, it looks out over the Ionian Sea, with Mount Etna rising in the distance. Days are spent padding between the pool, shaded terraces, and sun-drenched loungers. Inside, it’s all cool marble floors, clean lines, and a kitchen made for long, lazy meals – whether you’re perched at the breakfast bar or gathered around the table. Taormina is just 7km away, but here you’ll enjoy the same cinematic backdrop without the crowds. And when the beach calls? It’s only 4km from your door.

Free Parking On Street

Located in the hilltop town Taormina, this villa offers stunning views of the sprawling cliffs which drop down to Ionian, sea-forming coves and powdery sand beaches. With stretches of green garden and encumbering mountain views, this peaceful spot has everything you need for a blissful coastal break.

With prime Sicilian temperatures, it’s not surprising this home promotes outdoor living. This home has a hydromassage pool as well as a pristine swimming pool, a four-poster daybed for siestas under the shade and a cool, curtained patio which is perfect for balmy, alfresco dinners prepared by a private chef if you so wish. 

When you need a repose from the sun, retreat to the inside where you’ll find an oasis of amenities. The natural design aesthetic blends with minimal leather furnishings and cooling glass accents to create a laid-back 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 kitchen to prepare a light lunch of Sicilian tomatoes and local burrata.  
 
If you want to get out and explore, beeline for Isola Bella to admire the island’s nature reserve and shallow blue waters (only a twenty-minute drive away) or drive an hour to indulge the day at Mount Etna, where you’ll be spoilt with volcanic landscapes, unfolding vineyards and lava flow caves.

With sweeping views across the sea and of Mount Etna, this apartment has two balconies – one for sunbathing and evening cocktails, the other for morning coffees. Here you'll be in the very heart of Taormina, just steps from the Greek theatre, Palazzo Corvaja, restaurants and boutiques, with cable car access to the beaches below. Inside, it's bright and homely, perfectly sized for a group of four. We particularly love the living space in a glass conservatory, accessed via an external spiral staircase. Whether you're here to explore or unwind, this spot puts you in prime position to do both.

 Taormina Heights

With its dramatic, cliffside setting and expansive sea views, this home transports you to an instant state of relaxation. And while it feels like entering an idyllic retreat, you’ll find it’s also just a short walk from Taormina’s historic centre – providing the perfect opportunity to connect with the magic of Mediterranean living.

Spread across multiple levels, there’s a self-contained apartment on the lower floor, while the second floor features a fully equipped kitchen, dining room and terrace – ensuring there's an abundance of space to relax and share quality time together. 

From quiet morning swims in the pool, delicious Italian lunches on the balcony and lazy afternoons on a sun lounger, every moment promises to be enriched by the mesmerising views across the Sicilian coast. 

Exercise enthusiasts will also appreciate the home gym, while the surrounding hills provide a wonderful opportunity for invigorating walks. You’ll find steps leading down to the beaches of Mazzarò and Isola Bella (or you can take a cable car), while the restaurants and shops of Taormina are just a ten-minute walk away. 

Oasis of Blue 

Ping Pong Table

With sweeping views of the coastline, this home's crowning glory is undoubtedly its outdoor space, but the inside doesn't hurt to look at either. Find yourself charmed by the decorative art and playful tiles as you explore every nook and cranny in search of the perfect reading spot. The living space offers a seat where you can curl up next to the grand fireplace, but the kitchen offers ample light and access to the outdoors whilst also putting you close to the coffee. 

Spend entire days in and around the pool or sunbathing as the sun journeys across the sky. Take the cable car down to Mazzarò and make a day of building sandcastles on the beach or frolicking in the crystalline waters. Enjoy coffee in a pavement cafe in Taormina or visit the historic Giardini Naxos in minutes. 

Make it back in time for sunset drinks in the hot tub as you keep your eye trained on the enchanting views of Isola Bella. With the rooms spread across the villa and its annexes, there's a good measure of privacy for big groups travelling together whilst still being able to come together outside to enjoy the peace and beauty on offer here.

The property boasts a stunning view over the surrounding landscape, Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea. It features great amenities such as a salt-water swimming pool and an outdoor kitchen area – ideal for alfresco dining with your loved ones. The home is within easy reach of several seaside towns such as Santa Teresa di Riva and Sant'Alessio, as well as the impressive Alcantara Gorges.

The Sweet Melody

Everything about this stone and wood villa exudes Sicilian luxury – from the vast garden to the rustic interiors, bursting with vintage details. Start the day by greeting the sunrise over the Mediterranean with a few leisurely laps in the pool, then enjoy sipping your coffee on the sun-drenched terrace overlooking Mount Etna. You have all day long to stroll the beach, explore the harbour and the local museums, or take a drive along the coastline and pick up some seafood from the fishing villages. In the evening, grill freshly caught octopus and prawns on the wood-fired barbecue, and gather the whole party for dinner under the stars on the breezy veranda. Later you can retreat inside and cosy up by the fireplace or play a few tunes on the piano. If you're lucky enough to snag the master bedroom then you can soak in your own hot tub with a nightcap – trust us, with so much to do, your fellow guests won’t mind if you retreat to your own little world for a while. 

Etna Sunrise

A convenient base for exploring Sicily's east coast, the villa is perfect for sightseeing. It's only a few minutes by car to the beaches in Giardini Naxos, while the hilltop town of Taormina is less than 10 kilometres away. Even back home, you can enjoy the idyllic setting – head up to the rooftop terrace and you'll be treated to panoramic views of Mount Etna. Plus, with a seasonal pool, three comfortable bedrooms, and the ability to bring small pets for a fee, it's no wonder this home ticks all our boxes.

Etna Enchanted

Access to Gym / Spa

Overlooking the crystal waters of the Mediterranean Sea, this indoor-outdoor villa is perfectly pitched for a relaxing stay in sweet Sicily. Situated on the outskirts of Taormina, and within easy walk of several sandy beaches down the coast, you'll be able to see the island with ease and comfort. 

Back up at your hilltop villa, find yourself swimming lengths of the infinity pool, bathing on a sun lounger, and enjoying languorous lunches on the terrace, all while taking in the awe-inspiring sea views around you. For the interiors, think traditional tiled flooring, high ceilings, and large windows that flood the living space with natural sunlight. Step out onto a choice of terraces for an evening negroni or rustle up a quick bite in the impressive chef's kitchen. There's even a fully-equipped gym for active types looking to work off last night's three courser. 

Speaking of, the historic town of Taormina, just a fifteen-minute walk from your doorstep, offers a great choice of trendy bars and family-run restaurants for a lovely evening out. Rather top up your tan at the beach than the pool? The good news is that the white sands and clear waters of Mazzarò are also only twenty minutes away on foot. Perfecto. 

Cliffside Comfort

DVD Library

Brimming with Sicilian charm and warmth, this home is perfect for those looking for a luxurious Italian escape with sea views. Spend your days lounging around in the sun, reading a book or enjoying a cool glass of wine while listening to the hypnotic crash of waves from the neighbouring volcanic rock shore. Take a dip in the pool to cool off before a sumptuous feast of local delicacies out on the veranda looking out over the Ionian Sea. Or relax with a post-workout massage in the spa.

This villa is located very close to Taormina, one of the most exciting towns on the island, where those looking for dining and souvenir-buying opportunities, as well as cosy bars, will not be in want, while the wealth of nearby beaches and quaint little villages will have your curiosity and imagination running amock. 

By The Sea

With direct access to the beach and a private infinity pool, this home hits all the right notes when it comes to a rejuvenating retreat. You’ll also be serenaded by stunning views as well as a range of a luxurious home comforts – including a concierge service offering sweet extras like a private chef and catering. It’s worth noting one of the bedrooms is located in the independent garden annexe, but this is a great option for those seeking a little extra privacy. There’s also a gym, a home office for remote workers and plenty to explore in the surroundings. 


Bay of Bliss

If you’re looking for views, you’ve come to the right place. This contemporary villa is based on the most beautiful stretch of south-eastern Sicily’s coast, with iconic vistas over the sea and Mount Etna. Large windows frame the panorama perfectly and flood the living space with natural light. Outside you’ll find a hydro-massage mini pool (with counter-current for getting those lengths in), a lush array of flowering plants and a sunbathing area for soaking up those Sicilan rays. You’re just 1km away from the sandy beach at Giardini Naxos and spectacular Taormina isn’t much further, for a taste of the dolce vita. The large veranda with its sail-like cover is the place to be, come sundown. Rustle up an Italian feast in the outdoor kitchen, or just kick back and take in those views.  

Head Full of Flowers

This bright apartment has a private terrace with lovely views of Isola Bella. There’s also a shared swimming pool to enjoy in the verdant grounds. Inside, we’d say the interiors lack a bit of character and personality, but with so much to explore nearby, you’ll probably be out and about more. Visit nearby Mount Etna and the Alcantara canyons, or just 2 kilometres away, you’ll find the hilltop town of Taormina, with its Greco-Roman theatre or spend the day on the beach closeby (1.5 kilometres away).

The Summer Rose

Single-Level Home

Nestled inside a tranquil community on the slopes of Mount Etna, this handsome villa makes for a great place to base yourself while visiting this part of Sicily. Just a short drive from Taormina and the surrounding beaches, you’ll be well-connected while at the same time enjoying the perks of the home’s rural setting. We are particularly impressed by the outdoor areas, which feature a pool set amidst a landscape garden and plenty of space for catching the rays and enjoying alfresco feasts. The views are also pretty stunning and can be enjoyed both from inside and from the garden and terrace. 

The Blue Hills

Projector

Nestled in the heart of Taormina, within a twenty-minute walk of Corso Umberto and the Teatro Antico di Taormina – the ancient Greek theatre still used today – it’s not hard to see why this home caught our eye. Step inside, and you’re met with traditional Sicilian decor that mixes seamlessly with modern touches, such as the big screen in the living room, perfect for movie nights. Sun worshipers will love the outdoor space. Whether you’re drinking in the distant sea views from the balcony, relaxing on the terrace, or swimming in the private pool, this villa makes the most of the Mediterranean climate. 

Bella Sicilia

Nestled into the hills, gazing lovingly out over Taormina, this elegant villa provides the most serene escape for a Sicilian stay. The private pool is likely to entice you in straight away, with the cooling waters hard to resist in the heat of the day. Suitably refreshed, you can settle down on a sun lounger to while away a few hours with your summer read at the ready. With just the quiet notes of birdsong around you, it’s a peaceful way to spend the day.

On the upper level of the villa, you’ll find the living area which boasts such an expanse of floor-to-ceiling glass, you’ll feel the Ionian Sea wrapping itself around you even when you’re indoors. Step out onto the terrace, and you can still enjoy the view with the addition of a gentle sea breeze – it’s the perfect spot for after-dinner drinks. Speaking of dinner, when it’s time for a meal, light the barbecue and dine poolside under the candy-striped gazebo. With your loved ones gathered, it’ll make for a memorable evening as the stars break out above.

If you can bear to leave the villa, the local town of Taormina has to be top of your to-do list. With beaches, quaint streets, and even a Greek-Roman theatre to enjoy, you’ll never be short of things to do in this stunning setting. 

As Sweet as Candy

You’ll find this apartment located between Giardini Naxos and Taormina, only 20 meters from a part sandy, part gravel beach. The home is situated on the 3rd floor and features a living area with comfortable seating and a kitchen corner with everything you need for rustling up Sicilian-inspired meals. If you’d prefer to eat out, there’s a restaurant just 50 metres away. The best bit? The sea view terrace. Especially at sundown with a tipple in hand.

Sicilian Bliss

This comfortable apartment is situated in the historic coastal town of Giardini Naxos, and it benefits from having a sea-facing balcony. The beach is located directly opposite the home’s main entrance and the surrounding area offers plenty of local shops and restaurants. At full capacity you may feel a tad squeezed here – we think that the place is best suited for a couple. Bear in mind that the pad is situated on the third floor with no lift. 

A Song Of The Gods

This contemporary villa is located in Taormina, just a short drive from the historic centre and the beaches of Giardini Naxos, Isola Bella and Mazzarò. With modern touches throughout this home, you’ll want for nothing – it’s an ideal base for an extended family getaway or a group of friends. But for us, the outdoor space steals the show. Boasting views out to sea, Taormina, Castelmola, and Mount Etna, along with a private pool and sun-drenched terraces, it ticks all our holiday boxes.

From the inspiring views to the minimalist aesthetic and luxurious features, every detail of this home sings with the warmth and beauty of Sicily. And just a fifteen-minute drive from the beaches of Fondachello and Giardini Naxos, this is the perfect setting for an immersive retreat into the heart of Italian living. 

Set across two expansive floors connected by an external staircase, the villa provides ample space for relaxing, socialising and spending quality moments together. 

Inside, you’ll find both floors feature a private kitchen and living room as well as serene bedrooms. And with the addition of a sauna and jacuzzi, this is the kind of space that transports you to the height of rejuvenation. 

Open the glass doors and you’ll discover the idyllic garden and swimming pool set the tone for a truly relaxing stay. From quiet mornings under the shaded pergola to dreamy golden-hour drinks and barbecue meals, there’s everything you could need to enjoy the magic of this setting. 

For explorations beyond this sanctuary, it’s just a thirty-minute drive to the historic centre of Taormina while the shimmering coastline provides great opportunities for hiking, cycling and snorkelling. 

The Sea Dream

Situated in the ancient town of Riposto, in the shadow of Mount Etna, this compact apartment enjoys the benefits of a private garden which offers stunning sea views. You’ll be able to enjoy your meals out here,  and later, you can stroll directly to the water’s edge. Due to its size, we think this home is best suited for couples or a small family – note that there’s a second apartment in the building so privacy might be compromised at times. 

Sultry Sunsets

Located to the east of Mount Etna, this villa enjoys views of the surrounding mountains and sea. Comprising a two-storey house with an annex, it’s a great option for a group of families or friends who want their own private space while on holiday together. We love the added extras here, like the Jacuzzi in the master bedroom and the private sauna, as well as the mountain views from many of the bedrooms. We recommend you hire a car for easy access to the beaches of Fondachello and Giardini Naxos, and the fishing villages on the Cyclops Riviera.

Take Me To The Sea

Parking On Street

This apartment on the eastern edge of Sicily between Riposto and Acireale is a real feast for the eyes. Not only is the building in which it sits painted a vivid shade of pink that's instantly mood-lifting, but it also faces a gorgeous view of the Ionian Sea in one direction and Mount Etna the other way.

You can admire this panorama from the two terraces surrounded by verdant Mediterranean vegetation and palm trees, or out through the wooden windows. Although the interior can't hope to compete with these surroundings, the mix of rustic features and colourful flourishes are pleasing to be among. The patterned tiling in the kitchen and bathrooms is pretty, while the wooden furnishings and terracotta tilings add a real sense of homeliness.

As you can see from gazing out over the terrace, there's a pebbly beach that's easily reached from the home, but the nearest sandy spot is in Riposto six minutes' drive up the coastline. The port city of Catania is only thirty-five minutes away in the car too when you fancy a wander around the grand architecture and a meal in one of its seafood restaurants.




Hot Pink

Nestled rather picturesquely on the side of a hill which slopes right into the Ionian Sea, this cosy apartment is situated in the ancient town of Riposto. While compact in size, the place benefits from a large private garden where you’ll be able to enjoy alfresco meals and soak up the sun – you’ll also have direct access to the sea. Note that you’ll be sharing the building with the guests of the upstairs apartment – this being said, we think this pad makes for a great base for a couple or a small family on a Sicilian getaway.
