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.

Nestled away in the Hyblean region of southern Siciliy, this farmhouse was recently treated to a four-year refurbishment that finished in 2021 and this hard work is immediately apparent as you take a tour around the buildings and the grounds.

We're full of praise for the way that period features have been retained alongside more contemporary features, which lead to super-sleek kitchens and bathrooms rubbing shoulders quite happily with patches of exposed stonework and wooden ceiling beams overhead. A former stable has been turned into a lavish dining space, while the wine cellar has been kept and filled with local bottles.

The very same climate that makes Sicily so propitious for wine production is a pretty sizable reason why people jet over to the island for a sojourn and there are plenty of ways to bask in the sunshine here. The large swimming pool and adjoining Jacuzzi are sure to see plenty of use, as are the barbecue and alfresco tables on the verandahs that are treated to peaceful views of the local landscape.

Although there's a welcome sense of isolation at the address, the nearest town – Frigintini – is only 3km away and has a few restaurants and shops to tide you over. A little further afield, there are beaches on the island's southern coastline starting from as close as 30km away – well within range for a day trip or two.

We know waking up early on holiday isn't always what you want to do, but we guarantee a stay in this 1900s townhouse will transform you into an early riser. Situated at a vantage point overlooking panoramic scenes of Modica, when you walk out onto the balcony and witness magnificent views of the light forming over the town, you'll be sure to feel energised for the day ahead. That's important as there's a lot to do and see in this stunning region of Sicily. 

Modica itself is a Unesco town with years of history to explore. Wander its wonderful streets and make sure to indulge in lots of chocolate here – the town has a 400-year tradition of Sicilian chocolate making. We recommend checking out the centrepiece of the town, the Duomo di San Giorgio, which is one of the most spectacular sights of Baroque architecture in Sicily. But if days walking around is too much, then why not spend a day at one of the fine beaches in this area? Sampieri is one of the most famous and it's only a twenty-eight-minute drive. No matter what you choose to do during the day, we guarantee you'll end up spending your evenings on this home's balcony watching the lights of Modica twinkle at night while sipping on a glass of something tasty. Magical.

We don’t think there’s a better way to experience the ancient feel of Modica than with a stay at a historic stone home dating back to the 1500s. This home delivers that, along with a few 21st-century touches to keep things feeling luxurious. It’s in the heart of the city, where the narrow streets are home to chi-chi coffee shops and family-run restaurants serving Sicilian cuisine. You’ve even got a view of the ancient church next door from the terraced garden.

Set over stone terraces and patios, the garden is filled with verdant plants and cacti, and feels like a little oasis in the centre of town. Seats and sofas are shaded by olive trees, and there’s dining for the group by strings of fairylights. Then there’s the circular stone hot tub, shimmering like a jewel. 

Inside, it feels like an ode to Sicilian tradition, with pristine white walls and minimalist furniture. The living room is adorned with modern art and has a selection of books for some downtime, and the kitchen is all sleek modernity despite being tucked behind an old stone archway. The old water cistern has been transformed into a wine cellar, with a high-end selection of local Sicilian bottles. Then there are the bedrooms, each with their own old-world character like the traditional circular bed in the master and fireplace in the second.

The Count of Modica

Shared Pool

A serene Sicily stay awaits you at this wonderful home, nestled in the leafy countryside between Modica and Marina di Modica. Offering a tranquil countryside setting, contemporary interiors and fantastic amenities, this home provides all you need for a luxurious holiday with your loved ones. You’re well placed to explore Modica, as well as the towns of Scicli and Ispica, both just a short drive away – all locations offer stunning sightseeing, as well as vibrant bars and restaurants. This home makes the perfect retreat to come back to after lovely days spent exploring these historical Italian towns. You’ll also have access to the shared outdoor pool, the ideal place to cool off on hot days.

Wake up on sunny mornings and head straight out onto your private pergola, to enjoy a freshly squeezed orange juice and a good book in the shade. As the heat rises, enjoy a refreshing dip in the shared pool. Come inside and cook up an Italian breakfast of ricotta pancakes, and dine together around your stylish dining set. Relax on a sun lounger and top up your tan, or enjoy a long walk around the countryside that surrounds you. Then in the evenings, light up the barbecue in your pergola area and enjoy a night of feasting with family and friends.

Sicilian Spritz

Safe

Halfway between medieval Modica and coastal Pozzallo (about a twenty-minute drive from both), this contemporary villa is the perfect base for adventures around southern Sicily. You'll find it in the countryside, surrounded by swaying olive trees and lush green fields – and the best spot to soak up the idyllic atmosphere is the sun-drenched terrace. While away your days here floating under cloudless skies in the infinity pool, sharing a bottle of Sicilian wine on the outdoor sofa and digging into an alfresco bowl of pasta con le sarde in the summer kitchen.

Inside is as serene as the scenery on your doorstep, with a pared-back design, crisp white walls and high ceilings all invoking an instantaneous feeling of rest and relaxation. All the mod-cons are accounted for, too – be it rainfall showers in the stylish bathrooms, soft sheets in the bedrooms and all the cookware and crockery you'll need. 

For day trips, hop in the car and visit the breathtaking Duomo di San Giorgio in Modica (a twenty-four-minute drive away) or take a dip in the ocean at Santa Maria del Focallo Beach (twenty-two minutes by car).

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

Parking On Premises

If an infinity pool is on your wish list, then check out this stylish villa near Modica. We love the views over the Sicilian countryside from here. The dry-stone walls surrounding the terrace with its olive trees really evoke the landscape beyond. There’s a shaded seating area and outdoor kitchen perfect for alfresco dining and evening drinks. This area is especially special at night with all the atmospheric lighting. The interiors are no less impressive. An open-plan living space with a modern fireplace at its centre is a great place to relax or cook. The location is yet another highlight. Historic Modica is a five-minute drive away, while a variety of beautiful beaches are reachable within twenty minutes by car.

Modica Jewel

Pool / Snooker Table

Think of a holiday home in the Sicilian countryside, and visions of grandly faded baroque buildings, dramatic cliff-top villages and glorious local cuisine springs to mind. In keeping with this, this charming villa set among palms, vineyards and olive groves, with its sun-drenched white manor house walls and exposed stone floors, is everything that's right and beautiful about Sicily. With the great climate, it's no surprise the home promotes outdoor living, with a pristine pool, shaded seating areas and a stunning sun-dappled patio spot that’s perfect for alfresco dining through long balmy evenings. Designed with modern comfort and style in mind, the interior boasts polished wooden floors, sleek furnishings, colourful ornaments, plant pots and cushions, plus a bright white kitchen with high spec appliances. When you’re not relaxing in the calming living space, lying around the pool, or roaming the lush gardens, wander down to Marina Di Modica for fine golden sand beaches, or discover the quaint city of Modica – a medieval city known for its splendid palaces and rustic churches. 

The Sicilian Defence

Sicilian retreats don’t come much more chic than this – and locations don’t get much better either. Surrounded by ancient olive and carob trees for as far as the eye can see, it feels blissfully secluded. Yet, when the mood strikes, Rosolini village with its shops and weekly market is just a few minutes' drive, and a little further, the golden sandy shores and vibrant piazzas of Pozzallo. There’s plenty of reasons to stay put back at home, too. The private infinity pool and sun-drenched terraces leading to an outdoor kitchen are perfect for slow, Sicilian afternoons. While inside, the open-plan living area is every bit as inviting when it’s time to beat the midday heat.

Sicilian Chic

Experience coastal delight in this breezy villa, nestled in the Santa Maria del Focallo and moments away from its powdery sands and shallow Mediterranean waters. This charming casa features a private pool with a luscious palm tree border and offers plenty of space for relaxed aperitivos with friends and starlit feasts with the family.

Step inside and be instantly embraced by this home’s calm appeal. We love the neutral details – think contemporary furnishings, rattan artworks and coastal accents that make this home feel like a sea-grazing sanctuary.  Spend afternoons swinging in the hammock above the pool or cooling off in the inviting water. Come sunset, you’ll want to be gathered around the outdoor dining table with your loved ones, sharing conversations and a grilled array of Italian delights.

Your home is located in the perfect position to spend leisurely days on the beach – walk 300m to reach the Mediterranean’s sparkling waters and enjoy a picnic under the shade of the acacia trees. 

Hammock Daze

Imagine lying beside a pool with the glow of the Sicilian sun warming your skin. The scent of olives and carob carries in the breeze, gently drifting through the ancient trees that surround the garden. 

This beautiful home is an oasis in a peaceful setting. The villa is a vision of tranquillity, with soft pastel hues in blues and greens that soothe the soul. Outside, a garden and terrace look out over the countryside. You can look forward to spending your days dozing by the pool or dining on the terrace. This is the perfect base for those looking for absolute relaxation. You won’t have to jostle through any crowds here – you can really take it easy. 

The villa is a thirteen-minute drive from Scicli, so you can easily pop in for lunch. The beach at Sampieri is just six minutes away, with its cool, clear water – why not take a picnic of local olives and cheese, and make a day of it? 


Tranquillo

Miles of golden sands and the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea are just steps from your door at this smart residential complex, perched just a thirty-metre flip-flop from Santa Maria del Focallo. One of Ragusa province's most beloved beaches, fill your day's dune jumping, sandcastle-making, and soaking up the Sicilian rays before toasting the day's end with sundowners at one of the beachfront bars – the sunsets are magnificent.

Back home, this newly-built villa dazzles in crisp white from top to toe with contemporary, sleek interiors. Downstairs is all about socialising with an open-plan living space leading out onto a private veranda with a barbecue for dining alfresco on balmy nights. While upstairs, you'll find an expansive third bedroom sleeping three with a private terrace. It's the perfect spot for morning coffees in the sunshine before that shared pool proves too tempting to resist.

Sicilian Shores

With direct access to the golden sandy beach of Donnalucata, this home sits like a gateway to the beauty of southern Sicily. 

From the light-filled interior to the spectacular terrace, every element of this villa inspires a wonderful sense of wellbeing. Inside, you’ll find two floors thoughtfully designed to bring luxurious comfort and ease to your stay. The large living and dining area provides ample space for relaxing and spending quality time together, while the bedrooms reflect the calming simplicity of this space. 

Open the doors onto the terrace and you’ll discover the transformative power of this home. From sunrise to sunset, this is the perfect spot to savour the atmospheric views. And whether you’re taking a refreshing morning dip in the sea, enjoying a lingering barbecue lunch or sipping dreamy sunset drinks, this home makes it easy to settle into the relaxed pace of coastal living. 

You also find this home provides easy access to the spectacular baroque towns of Val di Noto. Days can be spent exploring Scicli, Modica or Noto (all within driving distance), while the shimmering coastline provides plenty of opportunity for swimming, snorkelling and hiking.

Surrounded by farmland and olive trees in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed region of Val di Noto, this nineteenth-century villa is as Sicilian as it comes. The honey-coloured stone building is a thing of beauty and is full of pleasant surprises, from terraces with sumptuous views and pretty coloured tiles in the bathroom to a traditional fireplace. Many of the walls are painted a cooling shade of white and there's also a pair of minimalist four-poster beds to squabble over. Outside is where you'll find the real showstopper, though — a temptingly blue swimming pool surrounded by a stone wall, loungers and a pagoda for escaping the sunshine. Keep wandering around the grounds and you'll come across a vegetable garden, aromatic plants and a cute courtyard ideal for long lunches. When you're in the mood for days out, the historic town of Ragusa lies twenty-five minutes away in the car, while it's possible to get to the beach at Marina di Ragusa in under twenty. Your host can also arrange weddings for up to eighty people upon request in the ancient warehouse or Mediterranean garden facing the olive orchard. 

When Life Gives You Lemons

Welcome to this stylish Sicilian villa – a perfect modern retreat with a private swimming pool and plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. We love the shaded veranda with its Mediterranean Sea views – the ideal spot for sunset drinks. There are more vistas from the large living room, too. And while the kitchen is relatively compact, it has everything you need for cooking some Italian cuisine. Located just 10 kilometres from the town of Scicli, you’ll find lots to see and do. The stunning baroque city of Val di Noto can also be reached by car.

This beautifully decorated home is fit for royalty, with a glistening chandelier in the living room and a patterned floor underneath sleek white leather sofas. Open up the doors to the terrace to admire the blue skies and verdant landscape that surrounds you – the crimson curtains pulled back to allow the daylight to stream in. One of our favourite details within the house is the unique spiral glass staircase that resembles branches draped with leaves. 

The focal point of this home is the gorgeous indoor wellness area fitted with a refreshing swimming pool, relaxing jacuzzi, and a wonderful sauna with low mood lighting. There are even loungers to stretch out on as you sip on a cocktail or read a brand new book. If you fancy catching some rays, head to the terrace to soak up the sun on a sun lounger or tuck into a meal together with your loved ones at the outdoor dining table.

Explore the charming town of Scicli and wander the streets to find local hidden gems, delicious eateries that serve global cuisine, and bars that offer fine wine and cocktails. History buffs and culture lovers will enjoy visiting the great selection of museums sprinkled throughout the town.  Alternatively,  you can spend your days by the sea at Spiaggia Micenci, only a short drive away from where you'll be staying.

Regal Rurality

Underfloor Heating

Balcony / Patio

There’s no doubt this countryside villa oozes Italian charm with its traditional dry stone façade and evocative rural surroundings. Located next to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ragusa, and twenty minutes from the Mediterranean Sea, this home provides easy access to the region’s significant cultural sites and enticing coastal views. There’s perfect harmony between the outside and inside here - combining authentic character and contemporary comfort - you’ll feel instantly at home. 

This restored and converted home has perfectly preserved its original rustic simplicity. Step inside and be instantly embraced by its traditional charm – we love the authentic details, period stonework, fireplaces and beamed ceilings making it feel like an indulgent Italian sanctuary. Each space has been individually considered so that the historical features are synchronised with design-focused materials – think raw metal and sleek glass accents that make you and your guests feel part of this home’s unique landscape. Spend indulgent days soaking up the sun by the pool before cooling off in the sparkling waters. There’s an inspirational feeling to adopt in this home –  get in touch with your creative side in the art studio, or try out an Italian classic in the rustic kitchen. Delight in the day’s highlights and share special moments with your group over an intimate dinner in the artistic dining room.

If you want to get out and explore, beeline for Ragusa to admire the Duomo di San Giorgio and Baroque buildings, before heading to Giardino Ibleo park for sweeping views across the city.  

The Artist's Stone Studio

With direct access to the golden sands of Mannera Beach, unobstructed views of the Mediterranean Sea and a terrace for lazy meals in the sunshine, it doesn’t get more peaceful than this villa on Sicily’s south coast. Inside, there’s everything you need to feel right at home, from a fully equipped kitchen to a desk for penning postcards. Should you fancy a change of scenery, you’ll need a car to get around – Sampieri is just up the road, and Sicili is a twenty-minute drive away.


Seaside Lullaby

This stunning retreat is where sea views, Mediterranean gardens and refined design come together. The villa blends indoor comfort with dreamy outdoor living, from the sleek infinity pool to the sun-drenched terrace. Mornings begin with breakfast under the pergola and end with sunset aperitivi overlooking the coast. Inside, you'll find light-filled spaces designed for relaxing and socialising, plus a separate self-contained guest annex. The sizable property also contains another villa. However, with your own pool, terraces and private garden, you'll still enjoy complete tranquillity. We'd recommend hiring a car to get around, but with a stay this special, it's more than worth it.

Sea Horizon

At first glance, you may mistake this home for an Italian palace rather than a holiday villa. From the outside it appears grand and majestic, with regal columns, intricate tiling and ornate fences – and the inside is just as elegant, with unique glossy floors, opulent wallpaper and divine soft furnishings. Step downstairs and you'll be blown away by the indoor pool and spa, with painted ceilings that remind us of Renaissance art, together with starry lighting and gorgeous mosaics, creating a blissful place to relax. There are some lush outdoor spots here too where you can enjoy the Italian sunshine, and the beach is just a short drive away for when you fancy sea-swimming and sunbathing.

The Emerald Wonder

Bicycles

Umbrellas

Surrounded by olive groves, ancient trees and stone walls, the Sicilian estate on which this home sits is as idyllic as you could imagine, but it's not a completely back-to-basics affair – the swimming pool shared with other apartments on the site adds a real splash of luxury and is a gorgeous spot for cooling off during the height of summer.

The home itself is similar to the outside space, in that it mixes together rustic aspects with contemporary features. High ceilings and stark white walls lend an immediate sense of brightness, while the sleek kitchen lies on the modern side of things. There are a few nods to heritage, though – the wooden ceiling beams and ceramic collections. To top it all off, guests are treated to a private terrace on which to lounge, dine or simply gaze out at the surrounding countryside. 

As you'll quickly find out for yourself, the home's immediate surroundings – a UNESCO World Heritage Site, no less – are peaceful, but you don't have to venture far to find a bit of life. The nearest town is the Baroque beauty of Ragusa about 10km away, which has shops, restaurants and a weekly market with which to get acquainted. In the other direction, there are sandy beaches starting from as close as 15km away.

Rustic Daydreams

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.

Escape to the shores of Sicily with a stay in this seafront home. There’s a private pool for refreshing dips and a wonderful garden with incredible views. You can dine alfresco and enjoy magical sunset drinks from the rooftop terrace. The rooms are set across the main house and the annexe – making this a great option for groups looking to stretch out and spend quality time together. Weekly housekeeping is included in your stay and a welcome basket is provided for your arrival. Plus, it’s just 900 metres to the beach, while the beautiful baroque towns of Modica, Ragusa and Noto are all within easy driving distance. 

Amber & Olive

Just 3 kilometres from the beach, this modern villa is perfect for a Sicilian getaway. We love this location. Not only is Marina di Ragusa a short drive away, but the other picturesque towns in the Val di Noto are also within easy reach, including Ragusa and Modica. Another thing we love? The roof terrace, where you can soak in the hot tub and admire the sunsets. There's also a private pool that's ideal for afternoon dips. In terms of design, the interior is a bit simple, and the kitchen is pretty small. But overall, it's comfortable, contemporary, and continentally positioned for exploring.

Ragusa Reverie

Early / Late Check-Out Available

Located in the scenic Val di Noto in southeastern Sicily, this villa is ideal for families and groups of friends. Spend your days lazing by the pool and your evenings stargazing from the rooftop jacuzzi, with the nearest beach just 400 metres away and some of the region's most impressive UNESCO World Heritage Sites a short drive further afield. With a compact kitchen perfect for light summer bites, sustainable interiors featuring bright and breezy hues, and a sprawling garden rich in lemon trees and flowering shrubs, this place ticks loads of boxes.

Stargazer's Paradise

A short drive from postcard-pretty Modica, this villa boasts everything you'll need for a Sicilian getaway. When you're not out exploring Ragusa and other UNESCO towns, the garden is the perfect spot to relax. Cool off in the private pool, then fire up the barbecue and dine on the terrace. Indoors, the breezy living area offers respite away from the sunshine. With three en-suite bedrooms, there's plenty of space for your nearest and dearest.

Opal Oasis

Whether you’re lazing by the swimming pool, taking a dip in the hot tub, or enjoying a leisurely lunch on the roof terrace, this modern villa is made with relaxation in mind. It’s ideal for a sunny family holiday or group getaway (just bear in mind that some of you will be sleeping in bunk beds). A short drive away you’ll find Marina di Ragusa, home of golden beaches and seafront restaurants. To discover more of Sicily’s heritage, head to the beautiful Baroque towns of Scicli and Modica – both are UNESCO World Heritage sites and less than half an hour’s drive from the villa.

Palm Tree Terrace

With direct access to Mannera Beach, this home is all about outdoor living. The private terrace, complete with a dining table and a seating area, provides unobstructed views of the Mediterranean Sea. Inside, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay, and if you’d like to take the relaxation to the next level, your host provides spa services and a private chef as optional add-ons. Keen to explore? We recommend driving into the charming town of Scicli.

Sicilian Sea Song

Right in the middle of the historic town of Modica, famous for its hillside baroque buildings and artisan chocolate, this apartment makes the most of its space and its placement. Bold colours, stylish decor and modern furnishings are all present here, making it a remarkably characterful space to wind down. The best part, though, has got to be the patio, where you can drink your morning coffee or sip a glass of wine at sunset while taking in the spectacular views of Modica all around.

Baroque Vista

Situated in the southeast of Sicily, just a sixteen-minute drive from the Baroque hilltop town of Ragusa, this home provides a beautifully equipped base for families. It's delightfully peaceful, surrounded by gloriously green countryside for as far as the eye can see. Here, you're thirty minutes from the towns of Modica and Scicli and just twenty minutes from the splendid beaches of Punta Secca and Marina di Ragusa by car.

The interior is spacious and contemporary. With its open-plan layout, lofty beam-clad ceilings and large windows ushering in floods of sunlight, the living space creates a free-flowing ambience primed for relaxation. There are all the bells and whistles here for a want-for-nothing stay, including a fully equipped kitchen and spacious dining table for mealtimes with your clan. We especially love the outdoor space, framed by a beautifully landscaped garden and offering sweeping vistas across the Ragusa countryside. Here, a swimming pool takes centre stage, offering a glistening oasis from the Sicilian sun. Between adventures, lounge poolside or fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco on the shaded terrace.

Emerald Myth

Hammock

Close to the ancient village of Eraclea Minoa, surrounded by Greek ruins and pristine sandy beaches, this contemporary villa is the perfect contrast between old and new. Boasting a beautiful garden, complete with a private pool, you can spend your time swimming and lounging on the comfy sunbeds which face the spectacular countryside. There's even a fitness suite here if you like to begin your days with a workout. 

However you choose to start the day, we highly recommend you spend the rest exploring the local area. The village itself has a few shops and restaurants, plus a magnificent sandy beach. You'll also find ancient ruins of a Greek theatre with incredible sea views, making this the ideal place for avid historians. 

When you return home, the patio awaits – tuck into a laid-back supper on the patio and enjoy the scenery. The hammock or swinging chair are great spots to catch a sunset – don't forget to pour yourself a glass of wine first. 

Bygone Beaches

Cafetiere

Sauna

Absolutely surrounded by a pedigree garden, native foliage, and stunning panoramic views of the natural landscape and the ocean beyond, this home in the beautiful Val Di Noto – of which the baroque cities are a UNESCO World Heritage – is the epitome of understated luxury. It’s in the barest of touches that this home shines. The fireplace, for one, where the glass panelling allows a hint of the outside to make itself known even when you’re relaxing indoors. You’ll also find that from the indoor jacuzzi, you get another glimpse of the outdoors through a large, square window, and those nuances make all the difference in the feel of this home. 

Then there’s the landscaped garden and the precise way in which it all comes together, and the gorgeous views from the infinity pool, the inviting comfort of the outdoor furniture, and the wonderful mix of elegance and cosiness in the furniture. This home says relax, renew, restore, but do it in style, and we love that. 

If you manage to tear yourself away – because honestly, simply having a cup of coffee out on the balcony will feel special here – then hike at Conca Del Salto, a four-minute drive away, where you’ll come across a gorgeous waterfall. There’s also a pizzeria a nine-minute walk away, and a couple of bars ten minutes, or less, away by car.

Rosemarino

This fabulous villa on spectacular Sicily is fit for royalty. With plenty of space both inside and out, and fabulous vistas across the island, it's the perfect place to spend some time in the sunshine. 

It's surrounded by a luscious Mediterranean garden, which fills the air with the scent of blooming flowers. The ultra-contemporary interior has been recently renovated, and the large windows frame the epic views outside. You'll find plenty of sun loungers, and there are two pergolas so everyone can enjoy some shade when they need it. And, best of all, there's a fabulous swimming pool where you can cool off on hot days – take a dip before tucking into a delicious alfresco lunch. 

A fifteen-minute drive will bring you down to Capo Bianco Beach, a mesmerising spot with white sand and crystal clear water. Agrigento is thirty-five minutes away by car, where you'll find ancient temples and a historic old town. And, if you head inland, you can visit rustic villages or do some hiking through the striking landscapes.
