You’ll find this single-storey villa in the countryside of southeast Sicily, less than an hour’s drive from the sandy beaches of Marina di Ragusa. It was the outside space of this home that caught our attention – from poolside loungers to a hot tub and a shaded terrace by the pond – there are plenty of spots to unwind. If you’d prefer to socialise inside, there’s an open-plan living area with a well-appointed kitchen. And why not make your stay extra special by treating yourself to one of your host’s concierge services, including private chefs and guided tours? *Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car for ease of getting around. *The swimming pool and Jacuzzi are available to guests from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised around the pool, hot tub and pond as they aren’t fenced. Your host can also provide a cot and hig...
Nested in the Modica countryside, this elegant terracotta-toned villa provides an idyllic base for families and friends seeking a rural Sicilian retreat. You'll find it just outside the beautiful Baroque city of Scicli – spend the afternoon admiring the impressive and ornate architecture and sampling the local cuisine in an authentic restaurant. During the long summer days, you can while away the hours stretched out on the poolside loungers with a book or make the most of the sparkling pool. We love its freeform shape and stoned border that slowly cascades into deeper depths – it's perfect if you’re visiting with young children. When the sun goes down, fire up the barbecue and enjoy an alfresco feast of aubergine caponata, grilled red prawns and artichokes – the outdoor dining table surrounded by palm trees creates the perfect setting. Inside, the home is modern and stylish with crisp white walls, soft blue accents and b...
This beautifully decorated home is fit for royalty, with a glistening chandelier in the living room and a patterned floor underneath sleek white leather sofas. Open up the doors to the terrace to admire the blue skies and verdant landscape that surrounds you – the crimson curtains pulled back to allow the daylight to stream in. One of our favourite details within the house is the unique spiral glass staircase that resembles branches draped with leaves. The focal point of this home is the gorgeous indoor wellness area fitted with a refreshing swimming pool, relaxing jacuzzi, and a wonderful sauna with low mood lighting. There are even loungers to stretch out on as you sip on a cocktail or read a brand new book. If you fancy catching some rays, head to the terrace to soak up the sun on a sun lounger or tuck into a meal together with your loved ones at the outdoor dining table. Explore the charming town of Scicli and wander ...
Say ciao to this charming home-from-home. With shallow waves and sandy beaches just steps away, this villa is an idyllic Sicilian sanctuary. With a minimal and bright interior, modern amenities and plenty of space to socialise, this villa has everything you need to live the laidback Sicilian lifestyle. Start your day with a walk along the pristine sands of Oasi Maganuco Beach before tucking into a fresh breakfast on the terrace. If you’re seeking an active start, get your blood pumping with a few strokes in the pool before stretching out on the lounge chairs to soak up the Mediterranean rays. After a sun-kissed afternoon poolside, head to your outdoor dining room for an Italian feast – for special evenings, have your host arrange a private chef. And as the stars descend, settle under the moon-illuminated sky for late-night conversations and a glass of Nero d’Avola. With the beach just moments away, we imagine you’ll want t...
Absolutely surrounded by a pedigree garden, native foliage, and stunning panoramic views of the natural landscape and the ocean beyond, this home in the beautiful Val Di Noto – of which the baroque cities are a UNESCO World Heritage – is the epitome of understated luxury. It’s in the barest of touches that this home shines. The fireplace, for one, where the glass panelling allows a hint of the outside to make itself known even when you’re relaxing indoors. You’ll also find that from the indoor jacuzzi, you get another glimpse of the outdoors through a large, square window, and those nuances make all the difference in the feel of this home. Then there’s the landscaped garden and the precise way in which it all comes together, and the gorgeous views from the infinity pool, the inviting comfort of the outdoor furniture, and the wonderful mix of elegance and cosiness in the furniture. This home says relax, renew, restore, but do it ...

We've fallen hard for this newly-built, and oh-so-luxurious Sicilian retreat set just a flip-flop from the shores of Santa Maria del Focallo.
