This pretty little villa sits in seclusion up in the hills of Sicily’s north coast. Days can be spent in complete tranquillity on the terrace overlooking the rugged hills and the sea. When the heat gets too much, there’s a lagoon-style swimming pool for cooling off and a picnic table in the shade of a bamboo pergola for long, lazy lunches. This spot is particularly beautiful at sunset as the sky streaks pink and gold. Stepping inside the villa, pale turquoise tiles keep things cool underfoot and the pristine white motif is livened up with a seaside palette of deep blue throws and cushions on the sofa and lagoon-blue kitchen cabinets. It’s a bright, open space designed for guests to spend time chatting and chilling together. Location-wise, it’s a short drive to the coastal village of Scopello where you’ll find restaurants and shops.

Set within acres and acres of olive groves, this villa is all about Sicily’s peace and quiet. If you do want to catch a bit of the island’s buzz and stock up on supplies, the historic town of Castelvetrano is a short drive away. But this place is all about the tranquil life, floating in the huge, turquoise swimming pool or enjoying a long, lazy lounge thanks to the full outdoor kitchen. There are plenty of shaded spots with comfy seating dotted around the grounds. The villa is set out courtyard-style, all on one level (except for one little turret) with white buildings clustered around the pool terrace. Bedrooms, living rooms and dining areas have their own entrances onto the terrace. Inside, we love the old-world feel of the place with its sloped, wooden ceilings in the bedrooms and Persian rugs in the living room. Furniture feels like it belongs to a 19th-century aristocrat. There’s a big wood-burning stove in the dine-in kitchen, t...More Details
With at least five wineries just a short drive away – the furthest being just shy of forty minutes – this home is well connected to the wine route and the accomplished cellars along it. With their doors open to the public, you can make a day of hopping from one to another as you sample the wares and choose your favourite to take home. That bottle of Marsala wine, coincidentally, will make the perfect accompaniment to the Mediterranean feast you’ll undoubtedly grill sometime during your stay. When you’re not among vineyards, you might escape to another natural wonder – the beach. Drive along the coast to find your favourite among a number of rocky and sandy beaches and once there, you can fully indulge yourself for the day. Swim until the tides and sunshine has left you feeling that particular brand of happy-tired, or catch up on your reading as you lie back under an umbrella and listen to the waves lapping upon the shore.
