If an infinity pool is on your wish list, then check out this stylish villa near Modica. We love the views over the Sicilian countryside from here. The dry-stone walls surrounding the terrace with its olive trees really evoke the landscape beyond. There’s a shaded seating area and outdoor kitchen perfect for alfresco dining and evening drinks. This area is especially special at night with all the atmospheric lighting. The interiors are no less impressive. An open-plan living space with a modern fireplace at its centre is a great place to relax or cook. The location is yet another highlight. Historic Modica is a five-minute drive away, while a variety of beautiful beaches are reachable within twenty minutes by car.
