This villa on the south coastline of Sicily sits as close to the Ionian Sea as it's possible to get without the water lapping against your bed every morning. It's a wonderfully picturesque spot, but what's perhaps most impressive is the villa's long list of amenities that will prise your attention away from this peaceful vista. Given the island's fruitful climate, it won't come as a surprise to learn that many of these can be found outside. There's something for every mood out here, whether you want to play in the swimming pool, relax in the Jacuzzi or feast yourselves silly on the pergola's alfresco dining table – all with the unmistakable sound and scent of the sea to keep you company. When you finally have to head inside, we're sure that you'll like what you see. The interior design mixes rustic features, such as patches of exposed stonework and the villa's old wine press, with more contemporary flashes – the minimalist...
It's hard to put a finger on what it is exactly that makes this address so extraordinary. Sure, the hillside location above the Sicilian coastline more than delivers when it comes to dramatically beautiful landscape to gaze out upon, but we've got a feeling that the villa would still wow in even the most uninspiring of settings. A lot of that is down to the effortlessly chic design that can be found throughout the four floors, with stylish furnishings, large light-filled communal areas and flooring so shiny that you can probably see your own face staring back in it. It does no harm that there are also a fair few balconies that offer a splendid vantage point from which to admire the scenery. As well as being easy on the eye, there's an enviable list of amenities at guests' disposal. Many of these lie outside, including the heated saltwater swimming pool and Jacuzzi surrounded by loungers, plus the covered outdoor kitchen wi...
This is one of those villas that takes your breath away the moment you enter. Lined with palm trees, layered with viewing spots of the Mediterranean Sea and formed by deluxe fittings, it's a home drenched in luxury. Whichever part of the home you visit, you'll be able to see the rugged coastline blend into the deep blue water of the ocean. It's a view you never tire of, especially if you're seeing it from the comfort of the sun beds on the terrace. That terrace is where you'll spend most of your time, whether it's catching some sun on the beds or going for a swim in the pool. Furthering the vibe of paradise, a cute outdoor table faces the shoreline, perfect for sharing a deep Burgundy wine with an incredible view. We appreciate that for most of you, the views aren't enough – you want to explore Italy for yourself. Hop in the car and you're spoilt for choice on day trip options – Taormina, Syracuse and Catania offe...
The panoramic views across the Ionian and Taormina Bay, are what really caught our eye at this Letojanni villa. This home is all about maximising Sicilian living – multiple outdoor terraces for dining and lounging, a pristine pool and sun-bathing area, and minimalist bedrooms that open out onto the sea views. These vistas don't come so easy here – access to the villa is via a steep road – but it's worth the effort. The nearest beach is 2km away in Letojanni, while the cities of Taormina, Catania and Syracuse are great options for a day trip. *Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's parking here. *While there's a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here, this villa is spread across three levels and accessed via a steep road – it may not suit those with limited mobility. *Your host provides daily cleaning, a midweek change of towels and a weekly change of linens. *If ...
Positioned atop the hilly landscape of Lipari island, with unbroken views across the Tyrrhenian, this sprawling homely villa is footsteps from the sea. Days will be spent toing and froing to the sea rocks, watching steam escape from fumaroles on the distant Vulcano Island and lounging by your shimmering pool. The expansive terraces bring with them the scents and sounds of a Mediterranean summer: the catch of the day grilling on the barbecue, a clattering of plates, the heady aroma of herbs drifting from the gardens and a salt-tinged ocean breeze. Inside, modern furnishings expertly contrast with original timber beams and stone walls to create a space that’s a pleasure to unwind in. To take the relaxation up a notch, call upon bar staff and a private chef to ensure dinner parties go without a hitch.
