Situated in the picturesque countryside of south-eastern Sicily, near the town of Scicli, this villa makes for a great base for a tranquil getaway. Outside, you’ll enjoy a private pool along with plenty of spaces for relaxing and soaking up the sun. The views of the surrounding mountains and villages are breathtaking here. For added comfort, there’s also an indoor wellness area, with a sauna and a luxurious whirlpool bath. For those seeking extra privacy, the separate annexe is just the thing.
