Located just outside of Sicily, this three-storey villa is perfect for family getaways thanks to a range of impressive facilities. Featuring a private tennis court, swimming pool and a wellness area complete with a sauna and Turkish bath, there’s something to keep every member of your group entertained. You can even bring your canine companions along too, and with an extensive garden surrounded by olive groves, you won’t be stuck for picturesque dog walking routes. The centre of town is just two kilometres away, so we’d highly recommend renting a car and taking a tour of its historical sites.

Set in a privileged position amid the Sicilian countryside, this recently restored villa sits right next to the baroque town of Scicli – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Or, if you fancy visiting a quaint fishing village, drive out to the nearby Donnalucata, where the golden sands of Spiaggia Micenci await. Even better, you can make use of the extra services available here and book a guided tour around your local area.

Lazy mornings were made for soaking up the sun by your saltwater pool and sipping an espresso on the terrace. Inside, we absolutely adore how the glass-floored kitchen honours the age of this home. After an adventure on the coast, come back and relax in your very own wellness room – complete with a private hot tub and sauna. From wine tasting to beauty treatments, there are plenty of ways to pamper yourself between these stone walls. Perhaps you'll want to keep the evenings simple with a sunset barbecue, or you could arrange for a professional chef to serve a feast to your family.

Luna Mezzo Mare

Located in the countryside, around 4 kilometres from the town of Scicli, this villa is perfect for travellers who want to simply switch off. The private infinity pool looks out across the landscape, and there’s a dining table on the terrace for meals in the sunshine. But it’s the wellness room that caught our eye. Head down to the lower floor to find a hydromassage tub and a sauna. On days when you’d prefer to be at the beach, Spiaggia Micenci is only a short drive away.

Immersed in lush countryside, a valley of carob trees, and a ten-minute drive from the beach, this rustic stone villa has a spectacular setting capturing the beauty of rural south-eastern Sicily. The home has every feature of contemporary comfort, but its atmosphere remains as authentic as you can get. Blue, white, and striped decor variations create a muted nautical theme – a subtle nod to the nearby coast. Start your day with an espresso on the balcony looking out over the valley. Tuck yourself away in one of the garden's shady spots with a classic novel, or soak up the Mediterranean sun by the pool. Why not spend an evening with a bottle of nero d'Avola under the stars? This variety of wine is local after all. You can easily explore the incredible landscape around this villa – head to the golden beach of Playa Grande or drive along country lanes and winding hills to the baroque towns of Modica and Scicli. Don't forget to pick up some farm-fresh produce on the way back, for a true taste of Sicily.

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 in style, and we love that. 

If you manage to tear yourself away – because honestly, simply having a cup of coffee out on the balcony will feel special here – then hike at Conca Del Salto, a four-minute drive away, where you’ll come across a gorgeous waterfall. There’s also a pizzeria a nine-minute walk away, and a couple of bars ten minutes, or less, away by car.

This architect-renovated home in the centre of Modica is a real find. Sitting behind gates, we were intrigued to see what lay behind. The house is constructed of warm local stone, which contrasts beautifully with the grey paintwork. There are multiple terraces, balconies and courtyards to enjoy – our favourite is the terrace with a lemon tree as its focal point – it's the perfect spot for an alfresco supper. Some of the rooms offer beautiful views of Modica, and there's an exercise room if you fancy clocking up some miles on the treadmill.

Or you could take a stroll around this stunning city with its Baroque buildings, like the Cathedral of St. George. There are restaurants and shops on your doorstep, or if you fancy a day at the beach, the golden sands of the Marina di Modica beach are 15 kilometres away.

We don’t think there’s a better way to experience the ancient feel of Modica than with a stay at a historic stone home dating back to the 1500s. This home delivers that, along with a few 21st-century touches to keep things feeling luxurious. It’s in the heart of the city, where the narrow streets are home to chi-chi coffee shops and family-run restaurants serving Sicilian cuisine. You’ve even got a view of the ancient church next door from the terraced garden.

Set over stone terraces and patios, the garden is filled with verdant plants and cacti, and feels like a little oasis in the centre of town. Seats and sofas are shaded by olive trees, and there’s dining for the group by strings of fairylights. Then there’s the circular stone hot tub, shimmering like a jewel. 

Inside, it feels like an ode to Sicilian tradition, with pristine white walls and minimalist furniture. The living room is adorned with modern art and has a selection of books for some downtime, and the kitchen is all sleek modernity despite being tucked behind an old stone archway. The old water cistern has been transformed into a wine cellar, with a high-end selection of local Sicilian bottles. Then there are the bedrooms, each with their own old-world character like the traditional circular bed in the master and fireplace in the second.

The Count of Modica

Shared Pool

A serene Sicily stay awaits you at this wonderful home, nestled in the leafy countryside between Modica and Marina di Modica. Offering a tranquil countryside setting, contemporary interiors and fantastic amenities, this home provides all you need for a luxurious holiday with your loved ones. You’re well placed to explore Modica, as well as the towns of Scicli and Ispica, both just a short drive away – all locations offer stunning sightseeing, as well as vibrant bars and restaurants. This home makes the perfect retreat to come back to after lovely days spent exploring these historical Italian towns. You’ll also have access to the shared outdoor pool, the ideal place to cool off on hot days.

Wake up on sunny mornings and head straight out onto your private pergola, to enjoy a freshly squeezed orange juice and a good book in the shade. As the heat rises, enjoy a refreshing dip in the shared pool. Come inside and cook up an Italian breakfast of ricotta pancakes, and dine together around your stylish dining set. Relax on a sun lounger and top up your tan, or enjoy a long walk around the countryside that surrounds you. Then in the evenings, light up the barbecue in your pergola area and enjoy a night of feasting with family and friends.

Sicilian Spritz

With easy access to Scicli, Modica, and the sea, this villa is ideally located for exploring southern Sicily. Day trips around the island are a given, but there's a lot to like back home, too. For starters, the private pool and olive tree-dotted garden are lovely spots to relax in the sun – although the exterior looks a little tired and could do with a refresh. Charming features inside, like timber ceilings, are given a contemporary twist, including sleek en-suite bathrooms with walk-in rainfall showers. Two of the bedrooms have external access, perfect for guests wanting extra privacy. We also like the covered terrace, where alfresco meals will undoubtedly be on the itinerary. 

Sicilian Blossom

Nestled in the countryside surrounded by rolling olive groves and not far from the Mediterranean coast, it's no surprise that the views here are idyllic. This charming stone villa has every feature of contemporary comfort, but its atmosphere remains as authentic as you can get. 

Step inside this renovated farmhouse and you’ll find an airy, dynamic living space where the furnishings are contemporary, yet comfortable. Maintaining elements of the house’s original architecture, you’ll see local dry stone walls and authentic beamed ceilings alongside modern finishes, including minimal furnishings and modernised tiling. The house’s neutral colour palette reflects the surrounding area’s tranquil spirit, creating a calm haven that's a dream to unwind in.

No matter the time of day, the impressive, carob tree-lined garden will compel you to spend most of your time here. Stretch out under the sun-dappled pergola with your new read, take a refreshing dip in the crystalline saltwater pool and feast together in the outdoor dining room. Come dusk, share a bottle of local Nero d'Avola and make for the terrace, where you can watch the sun fall beneath the hay-bale-lined horizon.

Just ten minutes away by car is Scicli, a historic town known for its UNESCO World Hertigate-status and Baroque Cathedral, Chiesa di San Bartolomeo. Spend the afternoon musing the cafe-lined streets, seeking out local tavernas and independent boutiques. When you’re seeking sand, make the 7km drive to the rustic coastline.

We know waking up early on holiday isn't always what you want to do, but we guarantee a stay in this 1900s townhouse will transform you into an early riser. Situated at a vantage point overlooking panoramic scenes of Modica, when you walk out onto the balcony and witness magnificent views of the light forming over the town, you'll be sure to feel energised for the day ahead. That's important as there's a lot to do and see in this stunning region of Sicily. 

Modica itself is a Unesco town with years of history to explore. Wander its wonderful streets and make sure to indulge in lots of chocolate here – the town has a 400-year tradition of Sicilian chocolate making. We recommend checking out the centrepiece of the town, the Duomo di San Giorgio, which is one of the most spectacular sights of Baroque architecture in Sicily. But if days walking around is too much, then why not spend a day at one of the fine beaches in this area? Sampieri is one of the most famous and it's only a twenty-eight-minute drive. No matter what you choose to do during the day, we guarantee you'll end up spending your evenings on this home's balcony watching the lights of Modica twinkle at night while sipping on a glass of something tasty. Magical.

Early Riser

For lovers of modern minimalism, there’s no place quite like this stylish villa. At first glance, this place truly looks like a home from the future – the structure expertly combines both angular and curved construction, and is built from wood, cork, cement, stone and iron, with a raw finish that makes it look cool and contemporary. The industrial decor blends with the stunning surrounding natural beauty in a captivating way, giving the home a feel like no other. The home is a beacon for bio-sustainability too, with a bio-pool – which gets provided water from a lake purified through natural methods – providing a chemical-free place to cool off.

We absolutely love the kitchen, where you can cook with an incredible view of the sea through the huge glass patio doors. Cook up delicious Italian feasts of pizza and pasta to feast on around your alfresco dining set. The terrace lounge area provides the perfect place to pop a bottle of Prosecco while you gaze out at the big blue beyond – or head to the upper balcony to find another breathtaking vista point. 

You may never want to leave this incredible home, but if you do want to venture out, you’re within easy reach of Sampieri, a tiny fishing village with a beach that’s great for sunbathing. You’re also just a short drive from Scicli, a UNESCO-listed Baroque town where you can explore quaint streets and historic architecture.


No Distractions

This waterfront villa is ideal for large families or small groups of friends looking for a relaxing seaside getaway. There’s no swimming pool here, but with Palo Bianco Beach right on your doorstep, we don’t think you’ll mind too much. The home’s outdoor area includes a shaded veranda with comfortable seating and a dining area for suppers at sundown. Inside, the place is functional yet fully equipped, and while the bedrooms do have air conditioning, you’ll need to pay extra to use it. In the mood to explore? Donnalucata is nearby and the baroque town of Scicli is a short drive away.

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 botanical plants – it’s a blissful space to unwind after a day in the sun. We particularly love the contemporary kitchen – why not whip up a cheeseboard of Ragusa’s well-known cheeses to share with a glass of Nero d’Avola?

Tones of Terracotta

Situated in southern Sicily, this villa suits a family or a group of friends wanting to spend their days in the sunshine. There is a private saltwater pool for splashing about when the temperature rises and a covered terrace for dining on Sicilian delicacies. While there is a no-nonsense approach to the interiors, you have everything you need to feel right at home. We recommend hiring a car if you’d like to explore – Sampieri Beach is only a short drive away. 


A Slice of Sicily

With its own dedicated wellness area, when we say this villa was made for relaxing, we really mean it. Pop open a bottle of bubbles and sink into the warmth of the Jacuzzi, soaking up the views from the window as sunlight pours in – you’ll feel contentment wash over you. If the pull of the Sicilian sun draws you outdoors, you’ll find a laid-back vibe outside, too. Settle down on a poolside lounger, a good book in hand, and allow yourself a quiet moment or two to enjoy the sun. You’ll find your eyes drifting from the pages of your holiday read to drink in the sea views on the horizon, past a glorious stretch of countryside. The quiet of nature wraps around you as the delicate fragrance from the garden drifts on the breeze, helping you unwind further.

Locally, Modica is utterly charming with its culture, history and Baroque architecture. For chocolate lovers, a museum tour is a must, and of course, you’ll need to buy some samples to taste test this delicious, ancient Aztec recipe for yourself. 

Mellow Match

This home is part of a small and tranquil complex of villas nestled on the picturesque south-eastern coast of Sicily. You’ll have access to a swimming pool, which is shared with two other villas, and which enjoys gorgeous sea views, as well as your private garden and a terrace. The home is rustic, with no shortage of charm, but guests on a lookout for luxury may prefer to look elsewhere. That being said, this is a great base for a small family or a group of friends seeking a peaceful island escape. You’ll need a car to reach the beaches and the nearby restaurants and shops which are located just a short drive away. 

Sicilia in Bloom

Located in the Ragusa area of southern Sicily – this villa has a private pool, surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it the perfect location for a relaxing holiday with family or friends. We love the terrace bordered by olive and carob trees. When you fancy exploring – the villa is just a short drive from Marina di Ragusa, where you will find golden sandy beaches and an array of shops, bars and restaurants. This home is also close to the beguiling baroque towns of Scicli, Modica and Ragusa

Starlight Sea 

Lift Access

At first glance, you may mistake this home for an Italian palace rather than a holiday villa. From the outside it appears grand and majestic, with regal columns, intricate tiling and ornate fences – and the inside is just as elegant, with unique glossy floors, opulent wallpaper and divine soft furnishings. Step downstairs and you'll be blown away by the indoor pool and spa, with painted ceilings that remind us of Renaissance art, together with starry lighting and gorgeous mosaics, creating a blissful place to relax. There are some lush outdoor spots here too where you can enjoy the Italian sunshine, and the beach is just a short drive away for when you fancy sea-swimming and sunbathing.

The Emerald Wonder

Board Games

Single-Level Home

Surrounded by the idyllic Sicilian countryside, this peaceful villa is only a three-kilometre drive from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Modica – a Baroque city famed for its chocolate-making past. Amid historic streets, this cultural hotspot is packed with museums and attractions. A stone's throw away, we also recommend touring the ancient archaeological area of ​​Cava d'Ispica, where mountainside caves and burial sites await.

Open the gates and enter this beautiful home, where you'll wake up beneath wood-beamed ceilings and wander into your bright kitchen for coffee. Indulge your sweet tooth and enjoy a local breakfast out on the veranda, while you make plans for the day ahead. After a fun-filled outing, escape the afternoon sun and go tech-free indoors, as you teach your kids how to play chess. As the evening closes in, why not swim lengths in your private pool? Then, fire up the barbecue for a sunset supper as you sip a glass of Italian wine.

La Danza

Ceiling Fans

This home is a great place to begin your adventures on the magical island of Sicily. With plenty of space and a serene ambiance, you'll love spending quality time with your loved ones and making some fabulous memories during your stay. 

Step inside, and you'll find a tranquil space that invites you to make yourself at home. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy some respite from the heat – however, we think you'll want to spend most of your time outside in the sunshine. Make a splash in the glittering swimming pool, before kicking back on a sun lounger with a good book. And, when evening rolls around, you can gather on the terrace to sip an aperitivo as you admire the olive trees and watch the sunset. 

Fans of the seaside can take their pick from sandy beaches and hidden coves – we suggest Lido di Spinasanta, just a fifteen-minute drive away. The city of Noto is half an hour away by car, and makes a great day trip destination, thanks to its baroque architecture and delicious food. And, should you want to travel a little further afield, the ancient port city of Syracuse is only an hour's drive away. 

Fresh Sicilian Lemonade

First Aid Kit

This impressive villa sets the tone for an unforgettable stay in Southern Sicily. Just a short drive to the Baroque town of Modica yet indulgently rural, it’s the perfect setting to retreat whilst also enjoying the proximity to the region’s cultural highlights. 

Stepping inside, the interior is a modern mix of sleek design elements and bright open spaces. It’s thoughtfully designed to celebrate life’s luxuries – like sharing quality time together in the contemporary living room on the orange sofa and enjoying memorable meals on the outdoor patio. If the stunning landscape vistas aren’t impressive enough on their own, add in a freshly brewed coffee and a private balcony – this is a surefire way to elevate your morning routine. 

Soak up the sun at home from a poolside lounger or soak up the Baroque architecture of Modica – don’t forget to stop in at the Chocolate Museum, where you can learn about its history as well as admire the chocolate sculptures.

Head home and prepare an alfresco feast in the outdoor kitchen, then tuck under the pergola. Post-dinner, it's time to relax, and you couldn't be in a better location do to so. Sink into the illuminated waters of your private pool for a few laps under the stars.  

Baroque's Neighbour

Situated in the peaceful coastal region of south-eastern Sicily, this home is part of a small complex of three villas, with a shared swimming pool and lovely sea views. You’ll also enjoy your own private garden and terrace, perfect for relaxing and sharing alfresco meals. The interior is on the rustic side – this home may not be suitable if you’re seeking luxury – but there’s certainly enough charm and comfort here to make for a relaxing island holiday for a family or a group of friends. We think a car is necessary here for reaching the beaches and the nearby shops and restaurants. 

My Sea House

With direct access to Mannera Beach, this home is all about outdoor living. The private terrace, complete with a dining table and a seating area, provides unobstructed views of the Mediterranean Sea. Inside, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay, and if you’d like to take the relaxation to the next level, your host provides spa services and a private chef as optional add-ons. Keen to explore? We recommend driving into the charming town of Scicli.

Surrounded by farmland and olive trees in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed region of Val di Noto, this nineteenth-century villa is as Sicilian as it comes. The honey-coloured stone building is a thing of beauty and is full of pleasant surprises, from terraces with sumptuous views and pretty coloured tiles in the bathroom to a traditional fireplace. Many of the walls are painted a cooling shade of white and there's also a pair of minimalist four-poster beds to squabble over. Outside is where you'll find the real showstopper, though — a temptingly blue swimming pool surrounded by a stone wall, loungers and a pagoda for escaping the sunshine. Keep wandering around the grounds and you'll come across a vegetable garden, aromatic plants and a cute courtyard ideal for long lunches. When you're in the mood for days out, the historic town of Ragusa lies twenty-five minutes away in the car, while it's possible to get to the beach at Marina di Ragusa in under twenty. Your host can also arrange weddings for up to eighty people upon request in the ancient warehouse or Mediterranean garden facing the olive orchard. 

When Life Gives You Lemons

Situated in the southeast of Sicily, just a sixteen-minute drive from the Baroque hilltop town of Ragusa, this home provides a beautifully equipped base for families. It's delightfully peaceful, surrounded by gloriously green countryside for as far as the eye can see. Here, you're thirty minutes from the towns of Modica and Scicli and just twenty minutes from the splendid beaches of Punta Secca and Marina di Ragusa by car.

The interior is spacious and contemporary. With its open-plan layout, lofty beam-clad ceilings and large windows ushering in floods of sunlight, the living space creates a free-flowing ambience primed for relaxation. There are all the bells and whistles here for a want-for-nothing stay, including a fully equipped kitchen and spacious dining table for mealtimes with your clan. We especially love the outdoor space, framed by a beautifully landscaped garden and offering sweeping vistas across the Ragusa countryside. Here, a swimming pool takes centre stage, offering a glistening oasis from the Sicilian sun. Between adventures, lounge poolside or fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco on the shaded terrace.

Emerald Myth

On the southern tip of Sicily, this modern home is all about the quiet life. Surrounded by pristine countryside, you're not going to be bothered by the neighbours here. Set on one level, the inside is calm and cool, with painted wood ceilings, polished white floors and a super-sleek kitchen. The bedrooms are all en-suite and each has its own access to the beautiful garden beyond. If your level is holiday activity ranges from horizontal on a sun lounger to bobbing up and down in a pool, you've found the ideal spot. On the terrace you can bake in the sun, read under the pergola, barbecue in the evenings, and even sit out till dark to admire the pretty spotlighting. It may be a rural area but you can drive into Ragusa in less than twenty minutes, and the 14th Century Donnafugata Castle is also just a short drive away.

Embrace a slower pace of life and find new meanings to relaxation in this peaceful Sicilian villa. Nestled in the verdant countryside, you wouldn’t think you were just a few kilometres from the historic city of Modica, offering the very best of sun, sea, and culture for your getaway.

Firstly, the grounds of this stone brick villa are special all on their own. Olive trees and luscious greenery encircle the home, with your lovely hosts, who love to share their biological landscape with their guests, and their land nearby. But of course, the shining jewel of the home is the aquamarine pool, where you’ll spend blissful hours soaking up the sun, admiring the landscape, and occasionally taking a dip. 

This home beautifully conquers indoor-outdoor living, with several tables at your disposal on the cobblestone piazza. With a sloped wooden vault roof and cream brick walls, the bucolic dining table is the perfect place for a continental breakfast of Sicilian citrus fruits and plenty of coffee. Sundowners will taste just as good wherever you enjoy them, but the sofa set beneath the pergola gives you a gorgeous view of the whole house. Then, settle into the cosy barbecue nook for drinks and nibbles while you wait on the traditional stone barbecue to finish grilling dinner.

It'd be easy to never want to leave this slice of heaven, but Modica’s unique baroque architecture and winding streets full of history are sure to tempt you. Admire the many cathedrals, taste some of the city’s famous chocolate, and sip on a few Aperol Spritzes at Marina di Modica. 

Cobblestone Jewel

Boasting a patio complete with outdoor kitchen, swinging egg chairs and sofas you can't help but sink into, this home is ideal for soaking up the sunshine. Spend your mornings sipping coffee and swimming in the private pool, before heading out to see what the local area has to offer. 

Watersports are popular in the summer, which is when the town really comes to life, and the coastline is dotted with ice-cream parlours, restaurants and shops. Swim and sunbathe on the beach then grab a sweet treat to cool down. Buy some local seafood on the way home then head back to that gorgeous patio to cook an alfresco feast on the barbecue. 

The Sicily Seaside

Steps from the sea, this villa offers endless Mediterranean views and beach access from the garden. One of the best spots to admire the panoramas is on the roof terrace, where you can lounge with a glass of wine and watch the coastal sunsets. The above-ground swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, and covered terrace are excellent additions, too. Head inside and you'll find a contemporary (though compact) living area and several clean-lined bedrooms. As for location, the Baroque town of Modica is 20 kilometres away, while Noto is just a bit further. And, alongside the rocky shore on your doorstep, there's a sandy beach only 900m away.
