Set in a privileged position amid the Sicilian countryside, this recently restored villa sits right next to the baroque town of Scicli – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Or, if you fancy visiting a quaint fishing village, drive out to the nearby Donnalucata, where the golden sands of Spiaggia Micenci await. Even better, you can make use of the extra services available here and book a guided tour around your local area. Lazy mornings were made for soaking up the sun by your saltwater pool and sipping an espresso on the terrace. Inside, we absolutely adore how the glass-floored kitchen honours the age of this home. After an adventure on the coast, come back and relax in your very own wellness room – complete with a private hot tub and sauna. From wine tasting to beauty treatments, there are plenty of ways to pamper yourself between these stone walls. Perhaps you'll want to keep the evenings simple with a sunset barbecue, or you could arrange for a professional chef to serve a feast to your family.
