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. 

Serenity at Sea

Oven

Free Parking On Street

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.

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.

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.

There is also a shaded terrace with a barbecue – perfect for balmy evening meals. Inside, the rooms are simple, fresh and family-friendly with children’s amenities available on request. Your host is also on hand to help organise a range of extra services – including private chefs and beauty treatments. We recommend hiring a car to get around here, but it’s just 3 kilometres to the nearest beach, while Taormina is just 20 kilometres away.

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

Fire Extinguisher

Set in a dense forest on the foothills of the far-famed Mount Etna, this farmhouse-inspired home mixes all the exterior charms of an Italian countryside homestead with modern, stylish interiors. Each of its three bedrooms offers its own ensuite bathroom, and the cosy living areas make it a tranquil place to rest your weary feet. Outside, a wrap-around patio ensures plenty of space for alfresco dining or bathing in the sun, with the thicket of trees never too far away. When you’re ready to explore, the charming hillside town of Taormina is an easy drive away, making this a true Sicilian gem.

At Sunset

Carbon Monoxide Detector

Arrive at this stunning villa to be wowed by its charm and the breathtaking views – this is a truly idyllic setting for a family holiday or a getaway with a group of friends. Recently restored, it seamlessly blends antique elements with modern comforts, creating a perfect casa siciliana. 
 
The inside is just as impressive as the surroundings – we love the light-filled rooms, with unique art pieces scattered about and plenty of comfy spaces for kicking back and relaxing. 

Outside, you’ll find the glistening saltwater infinity pool inviting you to dip in and enjoy a refreshing swim. The huge terrace is just the place for a traditional Sicilian feast, which can be prepared for you here by a private chef. Should you wish to do some cooking yourself, the well-equipped country-style kitchen will inspire you to create delicious meals, using fresh local produce you’ll be able to pick up at the farmer’s market. 

The whole party will enjoy nights of sweet dreams and restful sleep, courtesy of the plush bedrooms. Wake up reinvigorated and start your day with breakfast and freshly brewed coffee while you admire those island views. 

Outside your gorgeous oasis you’ll find yourself just a short drive away from the beach, and there are also plenty of picturesque walks, including in Etna Park, to be explored closer to home. For a perfect day out, the historic city of Catania lies approximately forty-minutes away by car. 

La Bella Sophia 

Ice Machine

Self Check-in / Check-out

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.

This showstopper of a villa near Santa Venerina is surrounded by manicured gardens, terracotta terraces and Mediterranean cacti. Once a historic winery, it's now a relaxing escape complete with a gym, sauna and Turkish baths. Outside, there's a heated pool (with plenty of sunbeds for everyone), there's also an outdoor kitchen and a barbecue for alfresco dinners under the shaded, vine-covered pergolas. There's more than enough to keep you busy, but if you feel like exploring, the city of Catania and the coastline are less than thirty minutes' drive away.

The Ancient Jewel

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

Shared Pool

This home sits on the mystifying Cyclops Riviera, just a forty-minute drive from Catania and a fifty-minute drive from the park of Mount Etna. Its scenery is nothing short of breathtaking, surrounded by the region's iconic jet-black lava rock and, overlooking the endless blue of the Ionian Sea, boasts direct access to the crystal clear waters.

Though compact, the interior is stylish and contemporary, providing the perfect base for families and small groups. Floor-to-ceiling windows usher in floods of sunlight while offering glimpses of your stunning surroundings. After a restful slumber, prepare breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen and spend mornings on the private terrace, sipping coffee and tucking into pastries in the crisp sea breeze.

With plenty of outdoor space and shared amenities, this home beckons you to unwind in the splendour of your surroundings. The outdoor pool offers a glistening oasis from the Sicilian sun, while a lush lawn boasts a play area and trampoline – perfect for the little ones.

Obsidian Odyssey

Situated between Catania and Taormina, this villa is ideally suited for those looking to discover the delights of Sicily. You'll be within a short drive of Etna Park and many of the area's charming towns. Featuring a private infinity swimming pool and jacuzzi, the villa's large garden setting also promises relaxing days spent at home. Another highlight is the outdoor dining terrace, providing a barbecue, plenty of seating for the entire group, and unspoilt views of the surrounding landscape. Inside, you'll notice the stylish designs that create a calming ambience throughout. All six bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms and have been thoughtfully curated to a high standard. 

Sultry Serenity

Mosquito Net

Nestled in the foothills of the iconic Mount Etna, this home is the epitome of carefree Sicilian living. It’s surrounded by vineyards and boasts a stunning view of the Ionian Sea from its vantage point high in the hills, enjoyed best while relaxing by the volcanic stone pool with a drink in hand. Inside, there’s a welcoming blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, with original features such as wooden beams and stone steps. When you’re ready to explore, the shimmering coast is just a short drive away, or head to the bustling town of Taormina - an hour’s drive away. 

Etna Vineyard

Situated on the slopes of Mount Etna and with stunning views of the volcano and sea, this home is all about the location for us. The traditional interior gives a nod to its 19th-century roots and because of its design, the lower level lacks a bit of natural light. In contrast, sunlight streams into the upstairs space. The generous garden and pool area is sure to be a hit with younger ones, with space to run around while the grown-ups top up their tan. Locally, Mount Etna is just thirty minutes away, so pop it near the top of your must-visit list. 

Grapes of Time

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.

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

Nestled high up on the hills overlooking the sea, this villa offers guests stunning views and comfy outdoor spaces, complete with an infinity pool and alfresco dining areas. A short drive away from Taormina and the beaches, the home makes for a good base for families or groups of friends on the lookout for a Catania escape. Bear in mind that there are quite a few steps to climb inside, some of which are steep, so children will need to be supervised at all times. The proximity of a busy road also means that some street noise is to be expected here. 

The Ponderosa

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

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

Desk / Workplace

Composed of a main farmhouse, a smaller house, and an annex, this estate is ideal for groups who want plenty of space to chill out in perfect peace. And, with incredible vistas across orchards and vineyards from the slopes of Mount Etna, along with a range of fabulous amenities, you'll settle into Sicilian life in no time at all. 

The former manor house is a true sanctuary, with cool tiles and crisp tones, where you can seek some respite on hot days. Along with a stylish living space, there's also a fitness room and a collection of gorgeous bedrooms – and all of which have been restored using environmentally-friendly materials. On the lower floor, you'll find a spa area composed of a Turkish bath, sauna, jacuzzi, and salt room, where all your troubles will evaporate. And, outside, you can splash around in the swimming pool or soak in the hot tub as you drink in the stunning views. 

Walkers can join one of the trails in Etna Park, winding through the volcanic landscapes – or, in the winter months, you can even ski. Catania, the ancient port city with a golden, sandy beach, is just 15kms away. So, whether you're feeling active, hungry for Sicilian cuisine, or want to lose yourself in the island's rich history, you're in the right place. 

Volcanic Rock

Baby Bath

First Aid Kit

Found at the foot of the iconic Mount Etna, this modern villa has the mountain to one side and ocean views to the other. The panoramic landscapes are, in part, what drew our eye to this family pad, but we also like this home's proximity to the Alcantara Gorges and coast. To make the most of the Sicilian climate, there's a private pool and ample outdoor seating – including sun loungers on the balcony that would be perfect for sunset cocktails – all surrounded by citrus trees. Throw in spacious rooms and plenty of natural light, and you can see what's to like here.

The Blue Haze

Perched at the base of Mount Etna, two kilometres from the mountain town of Milo, this villa embraces old-world Sicily. It’s an easy drive to the buzzing old port city of Catania too. The freshest seafood is landed in Catania every day, and the lively central market is surrounded by seafood joints. The volcanic hills surrounding this villa are home to vineyards creating ancient wines.

Once you’ve got your fresh catch of the day and bottle of local white, head back to the villa to cook at the brick-built kitchen outdoors and serve at one of the myriad terraces or patios with dining tables and lounges. This is what la dolce vita is all about. Within the rest of the 21,000 square metres of Mediterranean gardens, you’ll find sculptures and artworks in homage to Sicily’s ancient history. There are woodlands filled with oak, chestnut and cherry trees and a sparkling swimming pool for a cooling dip.

The main house is a converted olive oil mill and was once home to a famous Italian singer. Indeed, the main sitting room and kitchen feel warehouse-big with a high, wooden ceiling and arched, art deco windows opening up to the patio. You can tell a creative used to live here as the walls are adorned with unique works of art and an upright piano stands pride of place. The second lounge is set around an old fireplace and embraced the old world with its oil paintings and dark wood antiques. When it comes to bedtime, there’s a separate guest house for two, out in the woodlands for those that like their privacy. The main bedroom is like a suite with its own seating area and private terrace.  

The Ancient Olive Press

Located inside a villa that’s been split into four apartments, this home is the perfect base for a small family or a couple of friends looking to explore Stazzo. The apartment is surrounded by a lush green garden and offers access to a communal swimming pool. Mere steps from a small inlet with a rocky beach, you needn’t venture very far to enjoy the ocean, but if you prefer sandy shores then we’d recommend renting a car to see what else the area has to offer. 

Sunrise of the Sea

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

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

From the dining area, you’ve got a stunning view of Mount Etna’s ash-topped peak looming above this fabulous villa. If you’re not swimming laps in the outdoor pool, perhaps take advantage of the full spa within the old walls inside – a Turkish hammam, sauna, salt grotto and Jacuzzi await. Bedrooms are spread across three buildings – the main villa, a separate annexe and a self-contained cottage. Lounges and dining rooms set around old fireplaces whisper of the old world and you can choose to cook in the full kitchen or outside at the barbecue. Let the kids run free on vast lawns turned football pitches or spend the day hiking Etna or visiting the nearby city of Catania. 

The Garden of Etrusco

Perched on the slopes of Etna, this home boasts an impressive location and beautiful views. From here, it’s just a short drive to Santa Venerina and the nearest amenities, while Taormina is just a thirty-minute drive away. Wherever the day takes you, this home invites you to relax, disconnect and share quality time together. It’s worth noting the grounds are spread across multiple levels with steps, but you will find a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. Children’s amenities are available on request and housekeeping can be arranged for an additional fee.

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.

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.

Villagonia Blue

Situated on the east coast of Sicily, this villa is just a stroll away from the Ionian Sea. Offering breathtaking views of Mount Etna, this is a nature lover's paradise, with easy access to the Cyclops Riviera, Taormina, and Catania. The garden is the perfect place to sit back and relax and comes with a private Jacuzzi and patio for alfresco dining. The garden gate leads down to the sea, so you couldn’t be any closer to the ocean. If you’re looking for a sandy beach, however, you’ll find one just fifteen kilometres away.


Coastline Chic

Wheelchair Access

Stepping into the Sicilian villa, you’ll notice its traditional charm and original features (this may be a little too authentic for some). The outside, however, has amenities at every glance – a swimming pool, a foosball table, a ping pong table, an outdoor lounge and fire pit, and an alfresco dining room. What's more, this home is suitable for every guest – with a ground-floor bedroom and accessible bathroom for those with limited mobility. This location offers some of the island’s best landmarks, with Mount Etna Park, Etnaland, Taormina and Catania within easy driving distance.

Sicilian Oasis

Cafetiere

This former fisherman's cottage, situated right by the rocky shoreline and overlooking water in the picturesque village of Santa Tecla, has been lovingly renovated by your hosts to create an alluring home that caters to all your needs.

Unique, original features have been carefully preserved, maintaining the home's charm, while comfortable contemporary furnishings have been added alongside carefully chosen antique pieces to create a characterful space that's a real pleasure to spend time in.

An open-plan layout on the ground floor allows plenty of light in through double doors that lead out into a private garden at the rear. In addition to an outdoor dining space, there's an inviting Jacuzzi tub bubbling away, plus steps leading down to the rocky shoreline and direct access from the rocks for swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea.

This coastal cottage is well placed for access to a small selection of restaurants, pizzerias and a conveniently located mini market, while there's a weekly Saturday market a kilometre away in Acireale for stocking up on local produce. From here, you can head an hour or so further inland to explore Etna Park, home to the island's iconic volcano, or drive forty minutes north along the coast to the ever-popular and picturesque city of Taormina.

Bounty of the Sea

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.

Sicilian Heights

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

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.
