Perched an easy walk from Pozzallo's sandy beach, this villa has all the hallmarks of a coastal retreat. Views of the sea await on the roof terrace, making it the perfect spot for some sunbathing or a few sundowners. A private pool promises plenty of fun, too. Feeling peckish? Tuck into an alfresco meal on the terrace. Indoors, it's light, bright, and contemporary. With Modica, Noto, and Siracusa within driving distance, we think this is a great option for those keen to explore.
