A scenic swimming pool, space to soak up the Sicilian sunshine, and comfortable rooms to relax in – what more could you want from a holiday villa? Located less than half an hour’s drive from Catania (handy for the airport or souvenir shopping), this three-bedroom home is ideal for a sunny getaway. While the décor is a little bold (bright colours paired with period features), we think it adds character. Meanwhile, the terraces offer a shady spot for leisurely lunches or enjoying a barbecue. Or, if you want to dine out, nearby Acireale has plenty of tasty options, including charming seafront trattorias that overlook the Ionian Sea.
