Less than 100 metres from the beach, this villa has slow living down to a fine art. Inside, it's bright and modern, with all of the rooms opening directly onto the outdoors. Here, you'll find an infinity pool with a pool bar for mixing up cocktails and an outdoor kitchen for alfresco meals under the Sicilian sun. Why not bring in a masseuse for an in-villa treatment in the cabana? As night falls, head to the rooftop for a starlit soak in the hot tub or enjoy an outdoor movie screening in the garden. A small shop and bakery are within walking distance, while both Ortigia and Noto are a twenty-five minute drive away.
