Found close to the northern coastline of the island of Gozo, this home constructed from the island's distinctive honey-coloured stone is somewhere where you can well and truly embrace the slower pace of life.

Summer afternoons can be passed in the swimming pool surrounded by palm trees and loungers or up on the upper-floor terrace complete with a dreamy view of the Maltese countryside. When guests ever get a bit peckish, all you have to do is fire up the brick barbecue and serve up some smoky flavours on the alfresco dining table.

There's plenty to like about what lies inside the home's four walls, which are lined with large grid windows that bathe the space with copious amounts of natural light. The design leans toward the rustic side, with wooden beams, exposed stonework and cool tiled flooring. Fans of indulgent soaks will also appreciate the fact that there are three bathtubs in which to lie back and relax.

Although you can easily have a lovely time without leaving the address, you'll find plenty of distractions in the local area, too. The red sands of Ramla beach take twenty minutes to reach on foot, while Ġgantija temples – thought to have been built in 3600BC – are just over five minutes' drive away.

Set within a beautiful rural location, yet only ten minutes by car from Gozo’s capital, this elegant farmhouse welcomes you in and wraps you up in a Mediterranean hug. The warmth of the stone sets the atmosphere for this charming home-away-from-home, which has been tastefully refurbished to bring in all the modern comforts you could wish for, while still retaining the charm of the original building. We especially love the stone arches that are carried throughout, adding so much character and cosiness to this sophisticated space.

Start your morning with a coffee out on the terrace as the world wakes around you. From this spot, if you’re up early enough (and we appreciate you may want a lie-in, with such serene, comfortable beds on offer) you can soak up the sunrise for the most magical start to your day. As early morning stretches towards lunchtime and with the Maltese sun beaming down, you’ll welcome the coolness of your private pool. Sink into the refreshing water and swim a few lengths – you’ll feel rejuvenated in no time. The afternoon will be well spent relaxing on a sun lounger with your holiday read to pass the time. If you start to feel peckish, light the barbecue and enjoy an alfresco meal with your loved ones – just don’t forget the bottle of wine.

There’s plenty to explore in the local area, with the picturesque coastline boasting serene coves and rugged cliffs. However you spend your days in this sublime location, you’ll take home memories that will last forever.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll instantly fall in love with the decor. It’s sleek, angular and clean feeling – yet cosy, all at the same time. 

The owner–architect and his partner wanted to offer an exciting alternative to ordinary holiday accommodation, and what they’ve achieved is exactly that. With the couple’s love of art and design at its core, you can tell that everything – right down to those tiny, finer details – has been carefully cherry–picked. From the corrugated, art–deco kettle to the stylish floating desk space, no effort has been spared here – and the Mediterannean and Nordic influences are clear to see.

The neutral colour scheme keeps things light and bright, meanwhile the medley of natural oak features warm everything up. We love the fusion of classic and contemporary. Chris and his wife, Hanna, hand–selected a bunch of designer, bespoke and vintage pieces to create a modern setup galvanised by retro accents peppered from here to there. The end result? A practical yet elegant studio that’s sure to make your experience of Malta magical.

If you don’t feel like leaving your private haven, we don’t blame you, but as everything is all within easy reach, an amble around the enchanting alleys is a must. Prepare to get lost in its many steps and be sure to take a moment to admire the detailed architecture.

There's a reason many people consider Sicily to be a magical place to visit, and it's homes like this that show you why. Immerse yourself in an Italian paradise at this wonderful villa in the San Lorenzo area of the island. The swimming pool is the focal point of the home here. Whether you're putting on a breakfast pastry spread for the family to dive into on the terrace, or barbequing vegetables in the outside cooking area, you'll love gazing at the pool's turquoise water. We especially like the idea of picking up some local Sicilian cherries and enjoying them in the garden with a view. Life moves slowly here, and that's exactly how we like it! 

The home itself is a mirror of beauty to the turquoise water outside of it. Modern in design and flawless in execution, you'll have a hard time tearing yourself away from this plush pad. But considering the gems waiting to be discovered in Sicily, you're going to have to at times. Why not make the six-minute drive to Marzamemi to explore a picturesque fishing village, or visit one of the area's most beautiful beaches, San Lorenzo? It's only a fifteen-minute walk. We have a funny feeling you're going to like it here.

Here you'll be greeted by a large outdoor dining table, perfect for alfresco dinners at sunset, then go down a couple of steps to reach your own private salt pool. Surrounded by sun loungers, umbrellas and a chill-out nook perfect for a casual chat over a cocktail, once you’re here, you won’t want to leave this spot.

 Villa Sun

Tucked away in the southeasternmost corner of Sicily, minutes away from the imposing cliffs that bound the shimmering Mediterranean, this two-bedroom villa awaits its next guests in one of the island’s most gorgeous locales. Modern furnishings and home comforts are make themselves known as soon as you cross the threshold – but this home’s true pièce de résistance is its exterior. A spacious private pool, surrounded by sun loungers and umbrellas, is the undisputed highlight, but don’t overlook the alfresco dining space and cosy nook with its outdoor sofa. When you’re ready to head out, the nearby town of Noto awaits, with its gorgeous baroque architecture and delicious local cuisine ready to dazzle.

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.

Flanked with olive trees at the gated entrance, this charming Sicilian residence offers an authentic taste of Italian culture from the get-go. Revealing panoramic views of the famous Vendicari Nature Reserve in the province of Noto, the poetry of the area truly comes to life through the designs and landscaping selected by architect Ivan Gallo. 

Elegant detailing runs throughout the villa and creates a sense of grandeur while remaining harmonious with the vibrancy of the interiors. We particularly love that all of the rooms overlooking the long belvedere terrace also have stunning views out over the rolling vineyards in the distance. 

Offering privacy and ample space, the six bedrooms are spread across both the main house and the pool house. This provides the perfect set-up for in-laws and groups of friends to stay separately if preferred.

Admire the exuberant display of artworks, tasteful choices in wallpaper and an enormous collection of books in the home library – a literature lover's dream. High-quality fixtures and furnishings grant a comfortable stay whether you're based in the main house or the pool house. If you're staying in the pool house, you'll find that it is totally self-contained, with its own kitchen, dining area, lounge, double bedroom and bathroom and even a private rooftop terrace too. 

The outdoor spaces include a large swimming pool and a large roof terrace with a relaxation corner, dining area and barbecue in the main garden area. As well as a rooftop terrace boasting an open-air kitchen and dining area which provides a stunning vantage point for views of the bucolic landscape. Get the grill going and serve up a dreamy Italian spread featuring barbecued meats and fish from the local farmer's market, paired with Italian wine (of course) while you take in the stunning vistas as the sun goes down over the horizon in the distance. Bliss. 



Quadrata

This perfectly positioned seaside escape is just steps from the golden sands of Pietre Nere beach. With the promenade moments away, you’ll have cafes, gelato and seafood spots right on your doorstep. Inside, the space is bright and inviting, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It’s a little dated in parts, and being on the second floor means you’ll need to climb a few stairs. But if you're after a laid-back, beachy base, it’s absolutely worth it for exploring the best of southeastern Sicily.

The Mariachi

Parking On Street

Curated by its owner-architect, this designer apartment in Valetta is chock full of bespoke and vintage pieces sourced from local workshops and markets. It sits in a building over 100 years old, within Valetta’s shambling old streets packed with restaurants and sultry bars. Head to the old harbourfront where colourful wooden boats bob in the water for a cocktail at sunset.

Concrete and terrazzo floors in dove-grey and smooth cement walls give an industrial edge to this apartment and pops of colour come courtesy of towering pot plants and vibrant modern art. The 1960s-style curved kitchenette has everything you need to whip up a quick breakfast and French double doors open up to a slender little balcony overlooking the street. The bathroom is particularly sumptuous in marble and with a free-standing soaking tub in the centre. A wall of French windows bathes this place in natural light. Come sundown, head up to the shared rooftop terrace for a cold drink and watch the sky tinged pink and purple over the sea.  

A Long, Long Way

This Sicilian villa is all about the views. Located in the heart of the Val di Noto, you can admire the surrounding countryside from indoors and out – whether you’re lounging by the pool or preparing a mountain of pasta in the kitchen. We love the extras here, like the hydromassage feature in the swimming pool and the pool table tucked away on the lower level. Because of its remote spot, we suggest hiring a car to explore the surrounding area – make sure you add the Baroque city of Noto and the ancient ruins at Syracuse to your must-see list.

Immersed in lush countryside, a valley of carob trees, and a ten-minute drive from the beach, this rustic stone villa has a spectacular setting capturing the beauty of rural south-eastern Sicily. The home has every feature of contemporary comfort, but its atmosphere remains as authentic as you can get. Blue, white, and striped decor variations create a muted nautical theme – a subtle nod to the nearby coast. Start your day with an espresso on the balcony looking out over the valley. Tuck yourself away in one of the garden's shady spots with a classic novel, or soak up the Mediterranean sun by the pool. Why not spend an evening with a bottle of nero d'Avola under the stars? This variety of wine is local after all. You can easily explore the incredible landscape around this villa – head to the golden beach of Playa Grande or drive along country lanes and winding hills to the baroque towns of Modica and Scicli. Don't forget to pick up some farm-fresh produce on the way back, for a true taste of Sicily.

Axis Mundi

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). 

Sacred Earth

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

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

Indoor Pool

Located in the coastal town Portopalo di Capopássero, this cliffside villa drops down to sparkling Ionian and sea-forming coves indicative of Siciliy’s southernmost point. With stretches of rocky garden and encumbering sea views, this peaceful spot has everything you need for a blissful break.

The elegance of this sea-grazing location is effortlessly mirrored in the architecture of this home – think linear lines, modern finishes and a white, Ispican stone exterior that gives a nod to the area’s traditional architectural style. Inside, the natural design aesthetic blends with your host’s eclectic artworks to create a laid-back yet vibrant 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 sleek kitchen to prepare a light lunch of fresh tomatoes and local burrata.

With prime Sicilian temperatures, it’s not surprising this home promotes outdoor living. Framed concepts are evident here, with an outdoor living room that frames the sea vistas, as well as a box-framed pool mounted in the landscape. Spend leisurely days lounging out on the sunbeds to catch the rays before cooling off in the crystalline waters.

You’ll have everything you need here, but if you’re feeling adventurous, then there's plenty to see and do nearby. Discover the powdered sands of Spiaggia Scalo Mandrie, or swim over to the Isola di Capopássero, where you’ll find pristine beaches and the 16th-century il Fort di Capopássero.

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

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.

Streaming Services

Stay in the southernmost point in Sicily at this Portopalo di Capo Passero pad. Fuss-free it may be, we think it's a good option for families wanting to be close to the coast. Netflix will keep little ones entertained when they're not at the beach, while the private balcony has sundowners and alfresco dinners written all over it. The rocky Spiaggia dei Due Mari is a short walk away – dip your toes in the water and swim where the Ionian and Mediterranean seas meet. Restaurants and other amenities are also nearby, so you'll be well-placed to explore.

Waves of Peace

Situated on Sicily's southernmost tip in the town of Portopalo, we find this whitewashed stone villa. Though the home lacks a bit of cosiness, you’ll find everything you need here for a great holiday. The property boasts a large open garden with a private swimming pool, as well as a terrace that lends itself perfectly to home-cooked alfresco meals. The sea is easily accessible via a footpath along the cliff and most of Portopalo’s eateries and bars are within walking distance. Worth noting is that there’s an independent annex here too which can host four more people.

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.

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.

We can't promise you won't get the holiday blues after staying here, but we can promise it will be well and truly worth it. Located just 100 metres away from Santa Maria del Focallo's sandy beach, enjoy an authentic Sicilian escape with the sought-after shoreline at your fingertips. Take in captivating views of the waterfront from the garden. As with an abundance of natural beauty in the surrounding area, it's safe to say you'll leave feeling refreshed, revitalised and ready for whatever life throws at you upon leaving this Mediterranean retreat. 

In keeping with the home's proximity to the brilliantly blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, a blue, grey and white colour scheme is carried through the interiors with a nod to the soothing seascape. Spread across two floors, there is plenty of room for up to eight guests to relax in harmony. We particualrly love the outdoor terrace space, where you'll find alfresco dining set up and lounge area – perfect for kicking back after sunny days spent on the beach.
