With panoramic windows framing a jaw-dropping view over the Bay of Palermo in one direction and the Madonie Mountains tumbling towards the sea in the other, this exceptional villa offers a relaxing retreat for the whole family. 

It's furnished with a palette of grey, browns and blues that tie in perfectly with the landscape outside, creating a sleek and stylish space that's gloriously uncluttered. This contemporary style continues from the open-plan living area to the bedrooms, where white walls and minimal additional furniture mean that the views take centre stage.

We imagine you'll spend long summer days relaxing out on the terrace, with breathtaking views whichever way you decide to orientate your sun lounger. Cool off in the pool, which is long enough for lengths, while a barbecue provides the tools you need to cook up alfresco family feasts at home. 

If you do fancy a change of scenery, however, then the mysterious city of Palermo is a little over an hour west of the villa, while the historic seaside town of Cefalù is just over twenty minutes away – it's home to fascinating history and one of the best beaches on the island.

Surrounded by expansive views of the bay of Palermo, Aqua Vista really is a breathtaking Sicilian escape. Soak up the beautiful landscape as you swim in the twelve-metre pool or relax on a sun lounger, before freshening up under the outdoor shower. Split over three floors, thanks to the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the sitting room/dining room, the transition from the outdoor and indoor living spaces is seamless. With direct access to the swimming pool terrace, you’ll likely have to play rock, paper, scissors for first pick of the downstairs bedroom - that early morning splash in the pool is unbeatable.

Just steps away from the Mediterranean waterfront, waking up to the fresh sea air each day is only a fraction of this home's appeal. Overlooking endless blue views, meal times are best spent at the alfresco dining area. Meanwhile, the huge lawned garden provides the perfect spot for sunbathing on the loungers. You'll find direct access to the sea from the property – idyllic if you enjoy wild swimming. Plus, with contemporary and stylish designs ensuring comfort wherever you are in the home, a good night's sleep is most certainly on the cards. Beyond the villa, you'll find the historic centre of Cefalù alongside other nearby villages just a short drive away.

Set amongst idyllic Sicilian countryside, this beautiful stone villa is an ideal base for those looking to combine the best of rural romance with the excitement of a coastal break. 

The home’s headlining feature is undeniably its wonderful outdoor space. Boasting a patio with wide-sweeping views of the rolling hills and the Mediterranean Sea, you’ll find yourself whiling away sunny hours in the private pool, catching some rays on the loungers and dining alfresco beneath the scenic pergola. At sunset, take a seat on the poolside chairs – a glass of wine in hand – and watch the sunset kiss the water’s edge.

Inside, the home is all natural materials and whitewashed wood, with beamed ceilings and contemporary-meets-classic decor adding to its bright and cheerful welcome. Factor in the bathroom’s luxurious rainfall showers and the added privacy of having an external entrance to one of the bedrooms, and you’re all set for a blissful stay. 

When it comes to exploring the area, ask your host to arrange a food or wine excursion and venture out on one of the many tours on offer. Alternatively, hop in your car for a trip to the coast, with seaside beauty spots like Mazzaforno, Sant'Ambrogio and Cefalù all vying for your attention.

Sunshine and sea views are always a winning combination, and adding in this attractive Sicilian home to the mix takes it to the next level. This home can be found just outside of Cefalù, perched above a small bay of turquoise sea. 

The villa is modern and stylish with a cool and calm colour palette that lets the views outside do the talking. You can expect clean white tones and splashes of blue to focus on the coastal location. Everything you might need has been considered by experienced and thoughtful hosts, so your only job is to sit back, relax, and enjoy. 

The outside space is spectacular. A vast well-tended garden means there’s no shortage of sunbathing spots, and little ones can run around freely. The terrace is a lovely spot for alfresco dining, whether you’re tucking into a family breakfast of fresh fruit and pastries, or settling down for a feast of pasta and seafood in the evening. 

The villa has direct access to the rocky beach of the bay, so you can start each day with a swim in the clear blue sea. It takes nine minutes to walk to Spiaggia di Settefrati, where you can set up camp on the sand for a day of splashing in the shallows. Cefalù is a twelve-minute drive from the villa, and well worth the trip. Meander along the narrow streets eating gelato, and be sure to check out the Norman cathedral before popping into a trattoria for lunch. 


Aquamarine Air

Hot Tub

On the Mediterranean coastline, perched on a cliffside by the sea, these houses offer spectacular panoramic views of the stunning Sicilian scenery. The layout of the homes make them a great choice for families holidaying together, giving everyone the space to spread out and really make yourselves at home. Experience the romance of the villas by starting your day on the large terrace with the sun rising over the horizon. Breathe in the fresh sea air while you enjoy a moment of quiet alongside your breakfast. A refreshing walk around the area will help you get to know the lay of the land, but you'll no doubt find yourself wanting to head back for a refreshing dip in the pool. Spend your afternoon settled on a lounger under the sun with a good book while the barbecue heats up for a traditional Italian meal. The two wonderful yet contrasting villas are just a short stroll away from the beach and 5km from the charming seaside town of Cefalù. Climb on top of the La Rocca overlooking the town for amazing views or explore more of Sicily’s northern coastline by boat.

A Tale of Two Villas

If it’s breathtaking views you seek, you’ve found it in this characterful Sicilian villa. Although Cefalù, considered to be one of Italy’s most beautiful towns, is nearby, you’ll feel a million miles from anything and anyone. Perched on a hillside, overlooking the slopping hills melting into the Mediterranean Sea, you’ll find the tranquillity you’ve been seeking. 

It’s one thing to have your own pool, but an infinity pool is something else entirely. With barely any distance between you and the vast sea, it’s a beautiful way to feel immersed in nature. You’ll love swimming to the edge, getting lost in a daydream, before resuming your horizontal position on the sun lounger. 

After blissful hours blend together and day becomes dusk, your hardest decision of the day will be where to watch the sunset. Will it be down the steps, around the camper-style chairs, or on your decked balcony, where the panoramic views are out of this world? Either way, a gin & tonic with a garnish of fresh Sicilian citrus fruit is the perfect sundowner.

When the sun’s gone down and you’ve polished off a fresh barbecue dinner, it’s the perfect time to make the most of your boho-chic interior. Chat around the cushioned living space, enjoying a few tipples. It's especially cosy in the cooler months, with the underfloor heating warming your bare feet.

If there’s anywhere worth leaving this villa for, it’s Cefalù. Explore the beaches, rocky cliffsides, piazzas, viewpoints, and medieval streets of this dusky pink town. 

Balancing Act

Mosquito Net

Tucked away in Madonie National Park, a seventeen-minute drive from Cefalù, this breezy villa is the ideal holiday retreat. Inside, wooden beams, tile floors and exposed stone walls are a picture of classic Sicilian style, yet every space feels modern and fresh. The marble kitchen has all the culinary gear you'll need, while big windows and patio doors open onto the terrace and garden, where a sparkling pool and mountain views await. As the slowly day fades, fire up the grill and dine alfresco under the pergola, followed by a glass of wine and a bit of stargazing. 

When adventure comes calling, pack up your beach bag and drive eight minutes to Spiaggia Torre Conca, right on the coast. Just a little further is lively Cefalù, where you can stroll among the honey-coloured stone buildings, admire the mosaic-covered cathedral and watch as the boats come into the harbour. It's a perfect position for exploring, making this home a great base for a holiday in Sicily.

Elysian Daze

Free Parking

Less than a half hour from Cefalù, this villa boasts sensational views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. There's no better spot to enjoy them than the panoramic infinity pool. It may require a few steps to reach, but it's perfect for sunbathing, splashing, and swooning over the scenery. Inside, the design isn't the most modern, but the open-plan living area and trio of bedrooms ensure enough space for everyone. Plus, the terrace provides even more room for group gatherings. Ready to explore? While the drive to Cefalù is worth it, Finale di Pollina's rocky beaches and coves are closer to home if you'd rather stay local.

Hidden away in a hillside forest reserve with a gorgeous view of the intensely blue Tyrrhenian Sea stretching out ahead of you, this Sicilian cottage is the ideal place to unwind and recharge your batteries. Outside, there are so many relaxing spots, from the cabana day bed and covered outdoor kitchen to the swimming pool complete with a hammock hanging just above.

It's plain to see that most of your time here will be spent out in the open air, but the home's interior is just as idyllic. Although it has been recently refurbished, local design traditions have been respected, as seen with the chestnut wood ceiling beams, clay tiles and walls adorned with Sicilian artwork — much of which is for sale should anything catch your eye.

Although it's possible to do nothing more strenuous than sunbathe, your host can organise a range of activities with which to fill your itinerary, ranging from a sea cruise and cooking classes to outdoor massages and movie nights. The seaside town of Cefalù only takes ten minutes to reach in the car, too.

Coastal Colours

EV Charger

With views across the Gulf of Sant’ Ambrogio, this home has tranquillity at its core. Perfect for a family looking for a coastal stay, just be mindful that all bedrooms have access to the outdoor space and swimming pool, so this may not be the best choice for those travelling with young children. That said, this home offers all you could want in a Sicilian stay. Sun-kissed balconies and terraces are ideal for indulging in the view, while the private pool is just the spot to cool off in the heat of the day. 

Cefalù Peace

Free Parking On Street

This 17th-Century villa seamlessly blends the traditional Sicilian aesthetic with a bold and modern feel. Stroll down to the pool area to unwind, before rinsing off in the poolside shower and letting the sun dry you naturally on the poolside sun loungers, and gather in the courtyard for a hearty home-cooked brunch under the sun, there's something for everyone at this gorgeous home. With two kitchens and multiple living areas throughout this home, everyone will have more than enough room to stretch their legs. Those who want a little more privacy during their stay can get a good night’s sleep in the separate bedroom accessed via a charming bridge outside, with its own kitchen area and luxurious shower in the bedroom. Get productive in the office during the day with some remote work, and enjoy the balcony that offers countryside views leading right out to sea from the dining table during dinner. This entire home really is something to behold, with its mezzanine-like hallway that overlooks the ancient olive press and speaks of the home's rich history.

This home places you a short drive from the nearest beach, where you can see the famous Window on the Sea sculpture on the pebble shores right from your windows. It's only a short drive to the medieval village of Santo Stefano di Camastra from this home too, where you can easily immerse yourself in laid-back local life with its restaurants, bars and shops.

In the Baron's Footsteps

Ping Pong Table

Beach lovers will be blown away by this incredible Italian villa, based in the heart of the Nebrodi mountain range, and surrounded by 15 hectares of private land. Made up of two separate villas connected by a courtyard with a gorgeous private pool, this home offers large groups lots of room to enjoy both social celebrations and solitary bliss. Inside features simple Italian style, with touches of charming decor that make every space feel characterful and inviting. We love the large dining area, ideal for feasting on pizza and pasta with your loved ones.

Go on a wander around the grounds and you’ll come across the home’s private woods and lake – the perfect place to have a stroll in the shade of the lush treetops when the Italian heat turns up. Summer evenings can be spent sipping on Prosecco while you take the short 400m walk down to your own private pebble beach, where you’ll find your own beach chairs where you can relax and watch the sunset.

When you want to venture out, Nebrodi National Park offers wonderful walks and hikes, while nearby Caronia Marina boasts plenty of fantastic restaurants and bars.

Prosecco on the Pebbles

Close to the ancient village of Eraclea Minoa, surrounded by Greek ruins and pristine sandy beaches, this contemporary villa is the perfect contrast between old and new. Boasting a beautiful garden, complete with a private pool, you can spend your time swimming and lounging on the comfy sunbeds which face the spectacular countryside. There's even a fitness suite here if you like to begin your days with a workout. 

However you choose to start the day, we highly recommend you spend the rest exploring the local area. The village itself has a few shops and restaurants, plus a magnificent sandy beach. You'll also find ancient ruins of a Greek theatre with incredible sea views, making this the ideal place for avid historians. 

When you return home, the patio awaits – tuck into a laid-back supper on the patio and enjoy the scenery. The hammock or swinging chair are great spots to catch a sunset – don't forget to pour yourself a glass of wine first. 

Bygone Beaches

Located in the centre of Terrasini, this home sits in a sunny position in this harbour town on the Sicilian gulf of the northeast coast. To the south and west of this town, there are the fruit plantations ‘Conca d’Oro’, and the area is surrounded by vast mountains which provide a stunning backdrop to your terrace views. 

A cappuccino on the terrace, as you admire the panorama is the ideal way to begin each morning here, before you head out for the day. Why not go hiking and explore the paths at the Riserva Naturale Capo Rama – 4km away? Or, for those looking for a more relaxing break, you can spend their time on the sandy beach of Magaggiari – just 1km away.

In the evening, return home and fire up the barbecue for meals on the terrace in the Italian alfresco style. Then, as the night grows chillier, snuggle up together in front of the open-hearth fireplace.

Tarocco Orange

Sonos

This fabulous villa on spectacular Sicily is fit for royalty. With plenty of space both inside and out, and fabulous vistas across the island, it's the perfect place to spend some time in the sunshine. 

It's surrounded by a luscious Mediterranean garden, which fills the air with the scent of blooming flowers. The ultra-contemporary interior has been recently renovated, and the large windows frame the epic views outside. You'll find plenty of sun loungers, and there are two pergolas so everyone can enjoy some shade when they need it. And, best of all, there's a fabulous swimming pool where you can cool off on hot days – take a dip before tucking into a delicious alfresco lunch. 

A fifteen-minute drive will bring you down to Capo Bianco Beach, a mesmerising spot with white sand and crystal clear water. Agrigento is thirty-five minutes away by car, where you'll find ancient temples and a historic old town. And, if you head inland, you can visit rustic villages or do some hiking through the striking landscapes.

Sicilian Princess

Offering the best of both worlds, this villa can be found in the lush Sicilian countryside whilst still close to the beach. With the outdoors overlooking sparkling views of the ocean to one side and rolling panoramas to the other, you'll likely want to spend all your time poolside. There are also several seating areas, including a balcony table perfect for alfresco breakfasts. Though the style here might not be everyone's cup of tea, it's well-kept and comfortable, with plenty of natural light. Location-wise, you're within walking distance of Lumia Beach. And Sciacca, with its Cathedral and vibrant staircases, is only a short drive away. 

The Olive Sea 

This Sicilian paradise has it all – a private pool, mountain backdrop and the Mediterranean just moments away. And that's before you even step inside. The modern villa has been artfully designed with punchy wall decor and floor-to-ceiling windows. Sleek, contemporary and bold in its interior style, the two-bedroom home features an open-plan living space with several plush sofas, a glass-topped dining table and a fully equipped kitchen.

Outside, you're spoiled for spots to kick back and enjoy the sunshine. Whether you opt for the hammock, the day bed or the poolside lounger, there's no wrong choice – in each, you'll be surrounded by lush greenery and distant mountains, with a reliably blue sky above. Come evening, get the barbecue going and serve up some grilled goodness on the outdoor dining table.

While you're on this Italian island, you won't want to miss its capital, Palermo, just over half an hour away. Rich in history, art and delectable cuisine, the buzzy city houses countless sights that should make it onto your itinerary. Most notably, the landmark cathedral – this impressive structure is a unique blend of Neoclassical, Baroque, Gothic and Moorish architecture.

Enjoy panoramic sea views and the changing skies from your own terrace, where you can see the Aeolians Islands on the horizon and witness spectacular Mediterranean sunsets. Spend your mornings eating brunch and sipping coffee under the shade of the pergola, or planning the day ahead from the comfort of the swinging egg chair. 

With the beautiful San Gregorio beach a short drive away, there's plenty of sand and sea on offer if you consider yourself a child of the ocean. Explore the coves, dip your toes in the water or head to the marina for a bite to eat. If you fancy something more adventurous, try trekking the Nebrodi mountains, where waterfalls and rich vegetation await.

Sunsets in Sicily

A short drive from central Terrasini on Siciliy's northern coast, this sleek one-storey villa set upon sprawling grounds is perfect for two couples or a family who can't choose between beach and city. Glass walls and French windows soak the living area in sunlight, while the small pool offers the appearance of entering the home. The garden has plenty of space for kids to play and adults to relax, with its day bed, hammock, alfresco dining spots and mountain views. If you're travelling with children, your host can muster up a fifth bed for one of the bedrooms. The beach is just 3km away, while Terrasini offers plenty of distractions with its eateries and shops.

Wake up to the sound of the Tyrrhenian Sea each morning from this sublime villa set in the bustling seaside resort of Capo d'Orlando. It even boasts direct access to the pebbly beach.

Glistening white from top to toe, and offering up next-level sea views from nearly every room, terrace and poolside, this place has got rest and reset written all over it. Outside, a year-round relaxation pool is prime for soaking up the rays in style. And through a charming white picket gate, there's the glorious beach with sunbeds and umbrellas at the ready for cooling dips.

Inside, across the cool herringbone stone floors, discover four bedrooms, each as spacious and light-filled as the next, and each offering en-suites for a little extra privacy. And did we mention there's a spa with a Jacuzzi, sauna and a chromotherapy shower that leads out onto a sun terrace where you can drip-dry beneath the Sicilian sun? Now we're talking. 
                                        
If you can ever be lured away from this seaside haven, there's a bevy of chic waterside eateries and bars within easy reach in pretty Capo d'Orlando. Just be sure to make it home for sunset – the vistas from your private terrace are hard to beat.

Situated a ten-minute drive from the Tyrrhenian coast, this striking villa combines Rococo-style with contemporary elements and plenty of mod-cons to guarantee a comfortable stay. A wall of glass allows the outside to meet the inside – spend mornings savouring a coffee on the wrap-around couch before heading onto the terrace for a traditional Sicilian breakfast in the sunshine. 

Spend lazy afternoons swimming languid laps in the private pool or kick back and relax with a good book in the shade of the pergola. When you’re ready to explore your surroundings, grab your beach essentials and take the short drive to Spiaggia di San Gregorio. After a spot of sunbathing and a dip in the impossibly clear water, nip into Capo d'Orlando for a cappuccino and a cannolo in a cosy café. 

As the day draws to a close, head home for a slap-up supper beneath the chandelier in the kitchen diner, followed by a sing-along around the piano in the formal sitting room. Watch the sunset from the balcony until it’s time to get some rest in your sumptuous bedrooms.

Slow Daze

Set into a dramatic cliffside on the Sicilian coast, this modern-style villa is just moments from the sea. A terraced garden stretches before the home, with a shimmering swimming pool inviting you for a dip at the end. Loungers scattered across the lawn provide spots to soak up the Sicilian rays and there’s a spot to dine on the patio. Heading up the terracotta stairs, the first-floor terrace is fabulous – a shaded lounge and dining area looking out over the endless Tyrrhenian Sea. 

Slide open the glass double doors to blend the boundary between the terrace and living room, letting the sea breeze circulate. In here, a corner brick fireplace keeps things feeling traditional, along with the mosaic tiles in the big kitchen. On the ground floor, there’s a separate studio-style apartment for those that prefer a little more privacy, decked out in sunshine yellow that sings of holidays on the coast.

You’re out in the peace and quiet of the coastal countryside here, but in just over half an hour you can reach Sicily’s buzzing capital by car. Explore Palermo’s street eats, lively bars and history spanning from 5th-century Phoenicians to glorious baroque opera houses. 

A Life of Lemons

Exercise Equipment

Situated on the beautiful Sicilian coastline, this charming villa welcomes you to experience an Italian seaside escape. Boasting a beautiful garden, you'll have your own private oasis to relax in, complete with a swimming pool perfect for cooling off after a long day in the sun. There are some lovely traditional features here, such as wooden vaulted ceilings and blue patterned tiles, firmly planting you in these spectacular surroundings. That doesn't mean you won't have all of the contemporary comforts you could ever need, though – there's even a gym here meaning you can start your days with an energising workout. 

Once you're ready to seize the day, there's a sandy beach within walking distance, as well as the typical Sicilian seaside town of Seccagrande which has a few shops, restaurants and bars. If you're keen to find the best beaches in the area, drive to Torre Salsa Nature Reserve to explore the pristine shorelines, crystal-clear water and unbelievable natural scenery and wildlife. 

After an adventure-filled day, head back home to craft a rustic Italian feast in the outdoor kitchen. The wood-fired oven is ideal for cooking pizzas from scratch, and if you can't cook pizza in Italy, when can you? End the night drinking wine on the patio, as the sun sets in the distance.

Found on arid hilltops in the South of Sicily, the ancient ruins of eight Greek temples still stand strong in the Valley of the Temples and have long been thought of as an archeological wonder. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Valley might require you to stay a while – it’ll take at least three hours to explore – but it’s well worth it to glimpse a period in time where Agrigento was the Greek Akragas. 

About a ten-minute drive away from these 2500-year-old ruins, you’ll come home to this beautiful villa in which you’re encouraged to do as much, or as little, as you please. Start your day off by enjoying a cup of coffee and a good book out on the sun terrace found to the side of the house. From here you’ll be able to admire in the views, take a little bit of me-time, and plot the day whilst the rest of the house comes to life. Preparing breakfast can be done in the very generous kitchen before moving outside to dine alfresco, but the loggia has a small setup of its own if you’d prefer to breathe in the fresh, Mediterranean air whilst working. 

Take advantage of the pool as often as possible and find the jacuzzi among the rocks. Lounge, barbecue, and stroll around the beautiful estate whenever you’re not indoors appreciating the sheer size of the space. With enough room for everyone to roam, this home is more than a base from which to discover Sicily, it’s a little oasis.

But, when you do go out to explore, there’s a beach to drive to in under fifteen minutes, and Atenea boat hire will get you out on the open water. 

Terracotta Palms

Sauna / Steam Room

Hit rest and reset at this impressive Italian estate set deep in the Sicilian countryside and just a short drive from the Moorish town of Piazza Armerina.

Surrounded by vast palm-strewn grounds and ancient vineyards, this place offers up privacy, space and luxury in equal measure. Take your pick from the traditional and oh-so-regal bedrooms of the main villa (each with its own bathroom), where lofty ceilings, heirloom-worthy antiques and chandeliers bring all the traditional Sicilian feels. Or, if sleek and contemporary is your vibe, you’ll love the interiors of the guest house across the courtyard, housing three additional bedrooms, each with en-suites.

When it’s time for a get-together, that vast alfresco dining terrace with an outdoor kitchen and wood-burning oven has got lazy afternoon Mediterranean feasts written all over it. Then keep the afternoon flowing with a tasting session in the wine therapy room – it’s a thing. Or drop and flop beside the pool for an afternoon siesta, followed by some rejuvenation in the private spa with a jacuzzi, Turkish bath and sauna. Need we go on? We didn’t think so.

Oh-so-Moorish

Parking On Premises

Sitting quietly on the edge of Torre Salsa nature reserve, this serene Sicilian villa is a little slice of holiday heaven. The outdoor space encourages you to make the most of the glorious Mediterranean weather, so regardless of whether you’re soaking up some rays on the sun lounger, swimming lengths in the sparkling pool, or settled down on the outdoor sofa with your holiday read, you can enjoy the feeling of the sun warming your skin and drink in the turquoise sea vistas. 

We love the steps leading up to the villa, with beautifully painted tiles depicting different scenes and adding a splash of colour and character. Inside, the open-plan kitchen and living area is bright and welcoming, with the shimmer of the teal walls adding a touch of elegance to contrast the masonry kitchen. As weariness sets in towards the end of the day, step through to your tranquil bedroom, climb under the crisp white sheets and you’ll soon fall into a blissful slumber. 

When you’re ready to explore the area, take a short stroll down to Bovo Marina beach where you can enjoy the soft cushion of sand under your feet, and feel contentment wash over you.
