This Sicilian villa is a peaceful retreat just minutes from the centre of Milazzo. It's designed for relaxation with a wellness room, Finnish sauna, and a Jacuzzi bath. Outside, there's a private pool and shaded garden seating for long lunches or dinners under the stars. Spend your days exploring the medieval streets of Milazzo, the villages of Castroreale and Tindari, or exploring the rock pools and beaches of the Capo di Milazzo. When you're ready to unwind, enjoy an authentic Sicilian meal in one of the local trattorias or pizzerias.

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.

Right in the centre of Catania, this home allows you to explore the city with total ease. History buffs will love it here, due to local landmarks only being a short walk away. One of our favourite things about this home is that it's close to public transport – giving you the chance to dive deeper into Sicily. Step out onto the balcony to watch the bustling streets below and have a front–row seat to the daily lives of the locals.

This cozy apartment is perfect for a romantic getaway to Italy, and this central location means you can treat yourself to authentic wines and delicious Italian cuisine for date night. Visit gorgeous art museums or head to the shopping district to find gifts for your loved ones back home.

Evenings can be spent snuggled up in front of the TV, with the moonlight pouring in through the balcony door. Notice the streets below become quieter as the day draws to a close, and drift away ready for another day of adventuring.

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

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.

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.

Rooftop Terrace

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.

Cleaning Products

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

Smart TV

Outdoor Pool

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

Jacuzzi

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

First Aid Kit

Situated in the heart of Catania’s historic centre, this penthouse apartment featuring pops of red, yellow and lime green greets its guests with a cheerful welcome. Dark accents in the living space add a touch of moodiness while the funky patterned wallpaper in the bathroom is sure to put a smile on your face each morning. 

Enjoy a traditional breakfast on the terrace accompanied with views of Mount Etna before heading back inside to plan your itinerary – will you begin with a trip to the famous Piazza del Duomo (reached in ten minutes by foot) or the 13th century Castello Ursino? Once sightseeing becomes hungry work, make a beeline for the seafood restaurants that surround the raucous Catania Fish Market. On days when you fancy expending a little more energy, the Salto del Cane hiking area is a forty-five-minute drive away.

Outdoor Kitchen

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.

This lovely villa is located on the edge of the charming village of Savoca, just a few kilometres north of Taormina. 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

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.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the big blue sea, this sprawling homestay is nothing short of spectacular. Spend your days lazing by the heated saltwater pool or dining alfresco with postcard-worthy views thrown in for good measure. Inside continues to deliver, with elegant interiors, natural materials, and a calming colour palette that nails the quiet luxury trend. With a wellness area (complete with a hot tub and Turkish bath), private patios galore, and the nearest restaurant just 700 metres from the door, this is sure to be a stay to remember. 

The Sicilian Seaside Retreat

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

Shared Pool

Courtyard

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

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.      

The Ivy Facade

Paid Parking

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

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

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

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

Board Games

Games Room

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. 





Nerello

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 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. 

The Palazzo Approach

Nintendo Wii

With the ancient streets of Catania right on your doorstep, and a great view over the port to the sea, this two-bedroom apartment is a brilliant base for exploring the island’s second-biggest city. Start your day with breakfast on the balcony, before heading out to discover Baroque architecture, bustling pavement cafes, and volcano views (moody Mount Etna looms large over the city). If six of you are staying, two will be sleeping on the sofa bed, so it might be a little cosy. And the nearby train line might make things noisy from time to time. On the plus side, that puts you walking distance from the station, so you can easily see more of Sicily’s sights.

Above the Ancient Port

Foosball / Table Football

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.

Canzone Siciliana

Fenced Garden

Hammock

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.



A Stirring Spectacle

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

Piano

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

Set in the picturesque village of Viagrande on the slopes of Mount Etna, this charming villa is packed with character. Cosy and traditional (see the stone tiles, ornate ceilings, and marble fireplace), it also offers all the modern comforts you need for a happy holiday. There’s a sleek saltwater pool for cooling off on sunny days, plus a well-equipped kitchen for cooking a feast with family or friends. And with historic towns and beautiful beaches within easy driving distance, it makes an ideal base for exploring more of Sicily.

Pink Breeze

This striking terracotta villa on the slopes of Mount Etna is a true oasis of calm. While you'll only have access to the ground floor during your stay, this includes the splendid landscaped gardens and sun-kissed terraces, as well as the jewel in the villa's crown – a large year-round saltwater infinity pool. Head indoors and you'll find artfully furnished living areas, a rustic kitchen, and two double bedrooms with their own en-suites. What's more, the villa makes a great base for exploring the north of Sicily, with coastal towns like Acireale, Aci Trezza and Catania all reachable within half an hour by car.




Etna Joy

DVD Library

Hidden away just off the eastern slopes of Mount Etna lies this timeless villa. Blending the lines between traditional and modern, natural and manmade, this home is the perfect start to a memorable trip. Easily spend just as much time outside as you do inside, whether you're lounging by the private pool or cooking up a meal in the fully-equipped kitchen. Made up of a main building and a separate annexe, groups can spread out comfortably or couples can enjoy a little extra privacy. Lie back on the deck chairs and sun yourself as you marvel at uninterrupted views – this home is perfect for those wanting to disconnect from their day-to-day life, and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature without having to sacrifice the comfort and luxury they deserve.

Italy's tallest mountain and one of the oldest volcanoes in all of Europe, being at the foot of Mount Etna will be a treat for those in love with the great outdoors. Head out on excursions, and jeep tours, or hop on a cable car for the best possible views. The Lungomare di Ognina beach is perfect for walks along the coast with perfect views of the sunset, and there'll be no shortage of days out with villages and towns like Catania and San Giovanni Li Cuti just a short drive from your doorstep.

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

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

Wake up to the sound of the Tyrrhenian Sea each morning from this sublime villa set in the bustling seaside resort of Capo d'Orlando. It even boasts direct access to the pebbly beach.

Glistening white from top to toe, and offering up next-level sea views from nearly every room, terrace and poolside, this place has got rest and reset written all over it. Outside, a year-round relaxation pool is prime for soaking up the rays in style. And through a charming white picket gate, there's the glorious beach with sunbeds and umbrellas at the ready for cooling dips.

Inside, across the cool herringbone stone floors, discover four bedrooms, each as spacious and light-filled as the next, and each offering en-suites for a little extra privacy. And did we mention there's a spa with a Jacuzzi, sauna and a chromotherapy shower that leads out onto a sun terrace where you can drip-dry beneath the Sicilian sun? Now we're talking. 
                                        
If you can ever be lured away from this seaside haven, there's a bevy of chic waterside eateries and bars within easy reach in pretty Capo d'Orlando. Just be sure to make it home for sunset – the vistas from your private terrace are hard to beat.

Where Lemons Grow

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. 

Villa Mosaic

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

Mini Bar

Only in Sicily can you relax by the pool with uninterrupted views of both the sea and Mount Etna. Set within lush Mediterranean gardens, this villa feels more like a private resort, complete with a gym and its own spa. Designed to blur the lines between indoors and out, sliding glass doors flood the interiors with natural light and open almost every room onto a terrace. You may never want to leave – but if you do, the beach is just 3km away, and Taormina, Mount Etna and Catania are all within easy reach.
