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.

We recommend you start your morning with a coffee out in your peaceful sitting area, and wait for the sun to come up while you decide how to spend your day. Cook up an Italian breakfast of ricotta pancakes, and dine together around the dining set on your shaded terrace. As the sun rises, lay back on a lounger and enjoy the sunshine, or enjoy a refreshing dip in your private pool.

Nostalgia For Sicily

This contemporary villa is nestled on Sicily’s south-east coast, just a short distance from Ispica. Perfect for a seaside family retreat, there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out over two floors – although we think you’ll spend most of your time outdoors. You can make the most of the Mediterranean climate here with a private pool, sun-kissed terraces, and an outdoor kitchen just made for alfresco dining.

The Golden Sea

Throws

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

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

There’s no doubt this coastal villa immediately makes an impression with its luscious garden and pristine pool. Located along the Santa Maria coast and a short drive from the historic town of Modica, this villa provides easy access to Ragusa’s golden sands and the Baroque cultural sites that Modica is best known for. 

There’s a unique blend of modernity here – with a combination of authentic Sicilian charm and contemporary comfort you’ll feel instantly at home. We love the neutral hues, sleek furnishings and light-filled rooms that open out to the terrace. Start your morning with an Italian espresso on the patio, and later head to the alfresco dining area to enjoy views of the tropical garden with a Mediterranean lunch. Spend leisurely days soaking up the sun from the loungers and enjoying the refreshing waters of the impressive pool. As the stars descend, share a memorable chef-prepared feast around the wooden table, accompanied by a good glass of vintage.

Your home is located in an idyllic area for cultural exploration – we recommend a day trip to Modica, one of UNESCO’s heritage sites, to explore the Chiesa di San Giovanni Evangelista and Church of San Pietro. Though with the beach so close, we’re sure you’ll be wishing to make the most of the sand beneath your toes.

Santa Maria Sanctuary

Less than half a kilometre from the forest-lined beach of Santa Maria del Focallo, this white-painted villa sits on Sicily's southern tip. With free bicycles at hand, perhaps you'd like to see the scenery by cycling around the coastline here. For a memorable day trip, we highly recommend making the eight-kilometre drive into Ispica – a beautiful Baroque city where many Italians flock for its grand Holy Week processions.

Roll out of bed from a restful night's sleep, then wander into this open-plan living space to prepare a breakfast feast. Maybe you'll start each morning sunbathing by the private pool and discussing your daily itinerary on the patio. After a fun excursion, we can imagine you'll be itching to slide into your outdoor kitchen. What lovelier way is there to spend your evening than gathering everyone for a barbecue supper at sunset? Even better, this cosy fireplace is the perfect spot to huddle up for movie nights during the winter months.

Sparkling For You

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

Parking On Street

From wild beautiful beaches and olive groves to spectacular Baroque cities and ancient ruins, the southern tip of Sicily makes the perfect setting for an inspiring island getaway. And just a short drive (or refreshing walk) from Santa Maria del Focallo beach, this villa invites you to slow down and savour the sweetness of Italian living. 

Stepping inside, you’ll find the open-plan living room and kitchen set the tone for laid-back gatherings, while the bedrooms are equipped with everything you could need for a peaceful night’s rest. From here, days can be spent lounging by the saltwater swimming pool, exploring the glistening coastline or admiring the spectacular architecture in nearby Ispica (just a short drive away). 

Wherever the day takes you, this home provides the perfect setting for golden hour drinks and al fresco meals that linger long into the evening. 

Casa Cosmo

Love spending lazy days on the coast? This villa’s for you. Just 50 metres from Santa Maria del Focallo beach, you'll be splashing in the sea and lounging in the sand in no time. And with a private pool, sun-soaked terraces and a covered alfresco dining space back home, it’s easy to relax and make the most of the Mediterranean climate. One guest will sleep on the sofa bed but otherwise, we think it works well for a family. When you're ready to venture out, Pozzallo is a short drive away where you’ll find shops, landmarks, and eateries offering authentic Sicilian cuisine.

Sunset in Sicily

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

Located on the southeast coast of Sicily, this villa offers a perfect location for exploring this beautiful part of Italy, with popular towns like Pozzalo and Noto within easy distance. When you aren’t out on exciting day trips, this home has everything you need for a relaxing family getaway, with a spacious garden and saltwater swimming pool to enjoy. The covered terrace and wood barbecue are ideal for cooking alfresco feasts followed by a cocktail or two in the evening. 


Sicilian Smiles

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

With beautiful views across the bay of Porto Ulisse, this apartment makes it easy to slow down and savour the magic of Sicily.

Private parking is available and it’s possible to walk to the nearest beach, while the centre of Pachino is a short drive away. 


Romantic Moon

The stone walls and palm trees provide a comfortable feeling of privacy, yet you're just a five-minute drive from the town of Ispica. The spacious garden offers numerous options for relaxation, whether that's on a sun lounger or in the shade of the veranda. Gather at the alfresco dining table for meals – you've got everything you need to rustle up something in the kitchen. This home is also in an ideal location for exploring southern Sicily – it's a short drive to the beach, while historic towns like Noto and Marzamemi are also within easy reach.

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.

With access to a resort just a short stroll away, you can spend your days in the spa, practising your serve on the tennis court or playing volleyball on the beach. If you're keen to soak up some local culture, however, Noto city is a short drive away, where you can immerse yourself in exquisite architecture, wander around grand palaces and taste delicious Italian food. 

Speaking of food, you'll have your own outdoor kitchen here, which is ideal when you're craving a home-cooked dinner at the end of a busy day. Pick up some ingredients in town, or some seafood from the local fishing village, and try your hand at whipping up regional dishes. Dine alfresco under the pergola. Post-dinner, pour yourself a glass of wine and watch the sun go down on a perfect day.
