Perched directly on the cove of Cala Mazzo di Sciacca, this villa puts one of Sicily's most sheltered stretches of turquoise water a six-minute walk from the door. The private pool and fenced garden are where most days begin and end – sun loungers, a hammock, and glimpses of sea beyond the palms – while a shaded pergola terrace means alfresco lunches can stretch as long as you like. When you're ready to venture out, the Zingaro Nature Reserve's coastal trails are a fifteen-minute walk, and the village of Scopello's bars and restaurants are ten-minutes on foot.

About Sicily
Ash-topped Mount Etna rises from the heart of Sicily, lending a fiery flair to this sun-kissed island to the south of Italy.
