With direct access to the golden sands of Mannera Beach, unobstructed views of the Mediterranean Sea and a terrace for lazy meals in the sunshine, it doesn’t get more peaceful than this villa on Sicily’s south coast.

Should you fancy a change of scenery, you’ll need a car to get around – Sampieri is just up the road, and Sicili is a twenty-minute drive away.
