A whitewashed villa set along lavender-lined paths, this Sicilian retreat is built around outdoor living at its best. The pool terrace is an easy place to lose an afternoon, with sun loungers and umbrellas arranged for unhurried days in the sun. Come evening, a bamboo-covered dining area with a barbecue makes long alfresco meals feel effortless, while a shaded pergola catches the last of the garden light. Inside, the kitchen looks out across the Sicilian countryside – a decent view for anyone doing the cooking. Avola's beaches and town centre are around five minutes away by car.

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.
