With the sandy beaches of the Ionian Sea at its doorstep, this home is heaven for snorkelling lovers. For those who enjoy a slightly slower pace of life, the nearby charming fishing and lavish seaside resorts are just a few minutes walk away. Whether it's rock-climbing to Monte Toro in the historic town of Taormino or summer events at the ancient Greek Theatre in the lap of Mount Etna, Nerello is surrounded by points of history, water-sports and culture. However, when you have your very own private paradise, you don't ever need to leave. Find two apartments with a private beach and hot tubs on the roof-terrace – it’s hard to imagine a more idyllic setting. Sip on sumptuous local wine on the roof terrace before settling down for some seafood linguine. For an afternoon somewhere in between relaxing and snorkelling, you can just while away the hours on the golden sands of the beach. Bask in the sun-kissed glow of the Mediterranean sun whilst taking in the beauty of your surroundings.
