Between Noto and Syracuse, this stunning villa is right on the edge of the water overlooking Fontane Bianche Bay. If you're looking for a family stay or a romantic getaway, the views are sublime and the sea is right on your doorstep. The private pool and sunny terrace will be the go-to spots to relax, while a live-in housekeeper will keep things tidy. Factor in the range of optional extras available for an additional fee – from guided tours to beauty treatments and shopping services – and it's no surprise it caught our eye.
