Located in the southeast corner of Sicily, this villa is a stone's throw from the sea. The LED lights in the pool are unique, and there is plentiful outdoor space for relaxing and dining. This home is adults-only so families will want to look elsewhere, but music-lovers can take advantage of the grand piano, and there are large windows throughout to let in natural light. The village of Isola can be reached in around twenty minutes on foot, and we recommend hiring a car for exploring further afield or spending a day in Syracuse.
