A short drive from the winding streets and sandy beaches of Cefalù, this hillside villa is tucked among olive trees with sweeping views of the sea. You can soak up the scenery from the pool or one of several terraces – the little sundeck is the perfect perch come sunset. Bedrooms are spread between a traditional stone house and two wooden cabins, giving the place the feel of a tiny village. If we’re being picky, the kitchen’s on the smaller side for big group meals, but when the weather’s warm you’ll barely notice – there’s a wood-fired oven outside for alfresco feasts.
