Perched amidst the hilltops of south-eastern Sicily, within a twenty-four-acre estate, lies this immaculate villa. Once a former winery, the owners have expertly reworked the original architectural details for seamless, modern living with some serious wow-factor. With a double-height galleried sitting room and a breathtaking infinity pool (complete with cascading waterfall), it's caught the eye of a few glossy interior magazines too. Gather your troops and discover this exclusive retreat for yourself – there's room for you all to spill out here. You'll love how spread out the bedrooms feel, with one of the bedrooms located in a private annex. But the pièce de résistance has to be outside on the vast terraces and lawns overlooking the Sicilian countryside - on the clearest of days, even the sea. Take a morning cycle or jog around the hundreds of paths surrounding the gardens packed with fruit orchards and olive trees. Dip into the pool under the Sicilian sun. Or gather your ensemble for alfresco lunch beneath the shade of the pergola entwined with bougainvillea. However you choose to while away the day, those spectacular views will be right there. If you're looking to get out and about, you're in an excellent spot for discovering the baroque towns close by –⁠ starting in Caltagirone, just a twenty-minute drive away. And when the sea beckons, pack up a picnic and trace through the glorious countryside until you hit the coast - the scenic forty-five-minute drive is a joy.
