This sun-drenched Sicilian villa is your private oasis, just moments from the Blue Flag beach of Santa Maria del Focallo. The heated pool, sea-view terraces, and lush garden create the perfect backdrop for lazy afternoons and alfresco dinners under the stars. Inside, the interiors are bright, airy and elegantly simple, blending traditional charm with modern ease. At full capacity, two guests will share the double sofa bed and one will sleep on a single futon in the living room. It means a bit of sharing, but the incredible setting more than makes up for it. Whether you’re exploring nearby baroque towns or simply soaking up the sun, this is a place to slow down, reconnect, and savour Sicily at its finest.
