Set right on Sicily’s east coast, it’s easy to see why this villa has earned its place in our collection.

Inside feels comfortable and relaxed, but we imagine most of your time will be spent outdoors on the terrace, drifting between sunloungers and shade – there’s even a ping pong table to keep the kids entertained. And with Catania and the island’s east coast within easy reach, day trips and adventures are always on the cards.
