Perched just seconds away from the dazzling Ionian Sea and vast sandy shores of Agnone Bagni's beach, it's easy to see the lure of this newly built apartment fringing Sicily's baroque town of Augusta. Spend lazy days on the quiet sandy shores of this lowkey seaside resort – it's all the coastal Sicily vibes you're chasing with its white sands, and straw parasols and deckchairs to hire. And when it's time for a spot of culture, zip over to Augusta (a twenty-minute drive) to explore the medieval Old Town's wander-worthy lanes. Perched on an island connected to the mainland by two bridges and overlooked by the mighty 800-year-old castle, Il Castello Svevo, it's an afternoon well spent. Back at home, while the minimalist décor of this apartment isn't going to win any awards, you'll love the fresh, uplifting feel and clean, uncluttered spaces. Grab a glass of something crisp and head out on the balconies leading off both the living room and bedroom. And if you fancy a change of scene, there's always the communal garden and built-in barbecue area downstairs – a great place to meet your neighbours and pick up some tips on what's hot in Sicily.
