This villa on the edge of Scafa invites you to kick back, relax, and soak up the seaside scenery. It comes as no surprise that the outdoor space is the star of the show. A saltwater pool is perfect for afternoon dips, while lounge chairs offer front-row seats to watch the waves roll in. Although the interiors aren't nearly as impressive, there's plenty of space – just note that two guests will sleep on a sofa bed. The village's restaurants are a short drive away, and other cities like Messina and Cefalù are about an hour by car. All in all, we think this is a simple, sun-soaked option for families.

Home truths

    At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area.

    The second full bathroom isn't photographed, but expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    The interiors here are a little dated, particularly the kitchen. It may not suit everyone's tastes.

    We highly suggest hiring a car in this location as it's the easiest way to explore. Parking is available in the garage for two cars.

About Sicily East

Ash-topped Mount Etna rises from the heart of Sicily, lending a fiery flair to this sun-kissed island to the south of Italy. The volcanic terroir is perfect for grape, tomato and olive growing and family-run restaurants make the most of juicy beefsteak tomatoes drenched in olive oil, washed down with a glass of sweet Malvasia or fruity Novello. There are plenty of dining spots to choose from in the buzzing...
