We've fallen hard for this newly-built, and oh-so-luxurious Sicilian retreat set just a flip-flop from the shores of Santa Maria del Focallo. But with such an unbeatable location and exquisite interiors to boot, can you blame us?

Designed for inside-outside living at its best, kickstart your day with morning laps of the stylish pool. Then dip dry beneath the Sicilian sun from the many lounging spots surrounded by olive trees. When thoughts turn to food, there's a gold-standard outdoor kitchen to rustle up brunch and a stylish covered terrace to spill out with mimosas (the welcome Prosecco can help with those).

If you fancy beating the heat inside, this high-style and inviting home is a joy to spend time in, with rustic handmade pieces, soft-as-butter leather sofas, and sun-bleached wooden tones adding bohemian flair. Groups of extended family or friends sharing will love how spaced apart the bedrooms feel, each with en-suites. Though prepare for a tussle for that top-floor bedroom – it's a wonderfully spacious and private retreat.

When the beach finally lures you, hop on the home's bikes, and you'll be there in just moments (0.3 kilometres, to be exact). With miles of soft golden sands and crystal-clear waters, it's everything you've been dreaming of. And don't even get us started on the showstopper sunsets.

Sicilian Sunsets

This dramatic clifftop hideaway perfectly embodies the refreshing spirit of southern Sicily. From the soothing sound of the waves and the uninterrupted sea views to the manicured garden and calm interior, this is the kind of setting that will leave you feeling captivated from the moment of arrival. 

Stroll through the garden and you’ll find steps leading down to the waterfront – perfect for mooring a little boat and setting sail on your own seafaring adventure. Back on dry land, you’ll find the hot tub provides the perfect position to watch the sunset, while the terrace welcomes you to enjoy golden hour drinks and delicious barbecue meals. And when you’re ready to retreat inside, the air-conditioned rooms set the tone for a peaceful night’s rest. 

From here it’s just a short drive to the nearest beaches as well as the Vendicari Nature Reserve, while the Baroque city of Ispica is also just a short drive away. From wild and beautiful landscapes to elegant architecture and inspiring art, this home welcomes you to enjoy it all from the southern tip of Sicily. 

Sea Supreme 

Positioned just 100 metres from Santa Maria del Focallo, this spot is made up of two apartments – making it ideal for two families travelling together and could benefit from having two kitchens and living areas. Since you'll want to make the most of the sea views here, the outside space is where you'll likely spend most of your time. The alfresco dining area provides a central meeting spot for the group to enjoy leisurely lunches and alfresco Italian meals at sunset. You'll find a supermarket and bar within walking distance, however, you'll need to drive to the more built-up towns of Pozzallo, Modica and Ragusa for more variety.


The Sea View

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


Kiss the Waves

Just a short stroll from the golden beach of Santa Maria del Focallo, this home opens its doors to a refreshing coastal retreat. You’ll have a private pool for blissful swims and there’s a heated hot tub as well as covered dining area with a barbecue for magical evening meals. Inside, the rooms have been thoughtfully curated to inspire instant relaxation with both bedrooms featuring en-suite bathrooms. Private parking is available and it’s just a short drive to the baroque towns of Ispica, Scicli and Modica. 


Love Dreams

Immersed in the atmospheric charm of Porto Ulisse, this serene home sits like a gateway to the timeless beauty of southern Sicily. 

Just a short walk from one of the island’s most idyllic beaches, every element of this setting inspires a wonderful sense of rejuvenation.

Stepping inside, you’ll find a welcoming space filled with traditional features alongside contemporary comforts. The main living and dining area provide an abundance of space for relaxing and socialising, whilst the serene bedrooms make it easy to enjoy quiet moments alone. 

Surrounded by fruit trees and aromatic plants, the small garden feels like a natural haven – the perfect setting for al fresco dining and lingering evenings under the stars. Follow the external stairs up onto the roof terrace and you’ll discover the real gem of this home. From sunrise to sunset, this is a magical spot to savour the views with refreshing drinks in hand. 

Days can be spent on the beach or exploring the UNESCO world heritage site of Val di Noto. The majestic baroque towns of Modica, Scicli and Noto are all within easy driving distance.

Waves of Peace

This newly built villa offers a peaceful escape just a short stroll from the sandy shores of Santa Maria del Focallo. With simple, modern interiors and plenty of space both inside and out, it’s ideal for a laid-back family holiday. You’ll find all the essentials for cooking at home – plus a shaded outdoor kitchen and barbecue that’s perfect for warm Sicilian evenings. The pool is a real highlight, though it isn’t fenced, so little ones will need to be supervised. And while the location feels wonderfully private, you’re still within easy driving distance of local towns like Pozzallo and Ispica.

The Sicilian Breeze

Sitting just 50 metres from the Blue Flag beach of Santa Maria del Focallo, this contemporary villa has dreamy getaway written all over it. Having recently been renovated, the interior is sleek and bright with every modern comfort you need for your stay. But it’s the outdoor area that embraces the laidback lifestyle of Sicily, where you can succumb to dolce far niente – the sweetness of doing nothing.

Paved stones lead you to the pristine pool, passing by the enchanting old-growth tree, where you can spend hours soaking up the sun, catching up on your current read, and occasionally taking a dip to cool off. The high wall encircling the garden promises peace and privacy, only adding to the bliss of this whitewashed villa. 

We imagine you’ll want to spend as much time as possible savouring the heat and fresh air, so your lovely outdoor kitchen, complete with a gas hob, will certainly come in handy. Shrouded with traditional touches, there’s a certain charm that isn’t so apparent in other recently renovated villas – it’s truly the best of both worlds. Make use of the fresh local produce and try your hand at a Sicilian dish to be enjoyed alfresco. Then, settle into the sofa set beneath the straw pergola, sipping on a digestivo, while the solar-powered lights twinkle to life. 

If you get itchy feet, the ancient town of Pozzallo is just a short drive away. Soak in the culture of the 15th-century watch tower, take a walk along the glittering seafront, and explore the shops, bars, and restaurants that make up this small but charming and historically important place.

Sweetness of Doing Nothing

Indoor-outdoor living finds new meaning in this charming Sicilian villa. Just 200 metres from the turquoise coast, this home invites you to succumb to a slower pace of life, encouraging you to cook, relax, and embrace the natural surroundings. 

The interior adopts a modern preference for minimalism with its sleek kitchen, cosy living space, and refined bedrooms. It’s a lovely place to seek solace from the mid-day sun, but it's the outdoor space that does the talking. We adore the outdoor kitchen's simple, rustic style that feels intrinsic to the laidback Sicilian lifestyle. You’ll love preparing food as a group to be enjoyed alfresco around the table, or fixing yourself a drink here after spending blissful hours lounging in the sun and taking dips in the pool. 

The surrounding area of Ispica is quaint, bursting with natural beauty and unique baroque architecture. It’s a delightful place to stroll around, soaking in the culture, before settling into a traditional restaurant for dinner. Or you can head home to prepare your own Sicilian-inspired feast, freshly grilled on the barbecue. Your outdoor space is particularly enchanting at this time, when dusk sets the sky on fire and the solar-powered lights begin to twinkle. 

Natural Belonging

This beautiful villa sits on the Sicilian coast and boasts wonderful sea views. It’s in Santa Maria del Focallo, a short walk from the beach – the perfect setting for unwinding and enjoying the Mediterranean lifestyle. There's plenty to keep you entertained at the villa, with a private pool, sun loungers, and a hot tub. There's also a gazebo that's ideal for alfresco dining. Inside, the villa is contemporary and cool.

Seashore's Charm

If you’re in search of a slow-paced Italian escape, this home delivers an easy solution. Just a 50-metre stroll from the golden sand of Santa Maria del Focallo, you can spend your days lounging on the beach. There’s also a private terrace with a small pool and a covered dining area with a barbecue. Inside, the rooms have been thoughtfully designed for families and couples in search of simplicity and comfort. There are two floors and both of the bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms for optimum privacy. And when it comes to explorations further afield, you can drive to the beautiful Baroque cities of Ispica, Scicli and Modica. 


The Chiara 

This exceptional Sicilian villa is the ideal place for friends and families to discover the island's southern shores. Just a fifteen minute walk from Santa Maria del Focallo, one of the region's most popular beaches, the villa was designed by a local architect and is replete with charming touches and useful amenities. Indoors, you'll find three cosy bedrooms, a large social dining room, and a fully stocked kitchen. However, this home's true appeal is arguably outside, with a large private pool, a shaded veranda, and an outdoor kitchen all waiting to be used. Should you wish to get off the grounds for a day, the baroque city of Noto is a thirty five minute drive away, while Syracuse on the eastern coast can be reached in under an hour.
