Effortlessly cool and utterly relaxing, this stripped-back apartment is the perfect place for a solo traveller or couple to bliss out in style. Inside, it’s all whitewashed walls and polished concrete floors. There’s a sleek kitchenette for serving up tasty caponata with crusty bread for dipping and an open-plan living space for unwinding with your morning coffee. Step outside and you’ll find a communal infinity pool – a welcome respite on those long, hot afternoons. Stop mid-swim to soak up the unspoilt views then kick back on a lounger with an ice-cold drink in hand. If exploring is on the agenda, take the short drive over to Pantanello Beach for a paddle in the Ionian Sea or head north along the coast to Syracuse, a city known for its ancient ruins, baroque piazzas and romantic restaurants tucked down cobbled streets.
