Sitting just 300m from the nearest sandy beach, this beautiful villa close to the seaside resort of Fontane Bianche offers plenty of relaxation. Manicured lawns surround a private pool, and a handful of alfresco seating and dining areas mean you can spend sunny days and starlit evenings basking in the fresh air. The traditional antique-peppered decor may not be to everyone’s taste, especially those looking for a flashy, modern stay. But we think the beamed ceilings and Victorian-inspired bathrooms add to the Sicilian charm here. If you want to go sightseeing further afield, you’ll find Syracuse 17km away and Noto 25km from home.
