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.

In the heart of the lovely coastal village of Terrasini, famed for its amazing sunsets, you’ll find this apartment. It’s within walking distance of shops and restaurants, (150 metres away) and Magaggiari Beach (1 kilometre away) and within driving distance of the capital, Palermo, 34 kilometres from this home. If you don't know where to start with the area, your host can arrange tours and experiences for you. Back at this historic home, there are two terraces – our favourite is the one with the beautiful views over the Sicilian countryside and mountains. Inside, you’ll find a mix of modern and rustic in this charming apartment.

Fenced Property

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.

Walk on Water

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.

Fall for this idyllic, sea-facing Sicilian villa, in a spectacular location just 150m from the gorgeous beach of Cala Mazzo di Sciacca. Whether you love a lazy day relaxing by the pool or a fun-filled adventure to the beach, this home is perfectly suited. Sip piña coladas in the shade of the swaying palms, enjoy a gentle bob in the crystal-clear pool water, and when lunchtime arrives head to the delightful terrace for an alfresco meal overlooking the changing moods of the ocean. 

Inside, the villa is just as dreamy. Stepping through, you'll love the sea-inspired interiors, vibrant blue colour palette and nautical artwork that serves as a constant reminder of your stunning surroundings and picturesque views. Fling open the double doors, inviting the sea breeze to sweep right inside the wonderfully open living space, kitchen and dining area, as you tuck into a home-cooked breakfast. 

If you can peel yourself away from this little pocket of paradise, the charming village of Scopello is well worth a visit and lies just ten minutes away from the villa on foot. Further afield (2km), you can also find Zingaro nature reserve and its pristine white-sand cove.

Situated 65km west of Palermo rests this quaint Italian villa in the historic town of Castellammare del Golfo. Stone walls and wooden beams bring character to the recently renovated space, with stylish designs in keeping with the home's history and location. 

We particularly loved the enormous wooden dining room table, which adds a rustic charm and invites guests to experience authentic Sicily at its finest. Feast on a homemade Italian dinner of your dreams in this social setting that will have you feeling just like a local. 

Fancy some sunshine? Outside you'll find a picture-perfect scene that will take your breath away. With absolutely stunning views over the Sicilian countryside and mountains, you'll feel you've arrived in heaven when lounging on the day beds out by the pool with these vistas. 

Next, cool off under the outdoor shower overlooking the expansive greenery and patchwork fields for an experience you won't forget before spending the evening under the shaded pergola over by the outdoor kitchen. 

While the sunsets here are undoubtedly Instagram-worthy, your cellphone snapper simply won't do the scene justice, so leave your phone alone and live in the moment.

This villa rests on a hillside, 600 metres from Cala Mazzo di Sciacca beach. If you want to explore traditional Sicilian cuisine and wine in the local bars, the seaside village of Scopello sits prettily nearby. The coastline here is dotted with sweeps of soft sand and crystalline water, and the nature reserve of Zingaro is in the area.

 The home’s burnt-sienna facade is striking against a near-constant blue sky, and a terracotta roof and wooden shutters speak of old-world Sicily. In the private garden, olive trees shade the outdoor kitchen and the group can dine with a view of the endless sea. A bamboo pergola keeps things cool in the outdoor lounge and, when the heat gets too much, there’s a plunge-style swimming pool to cool off. The interior is crisp and clear with pops of sea-blue and turquoise matching the view from the corner windows.

Courtyard

Feel at home in this charming house that combines elements of Italy and Morocco. The living space has a more traditional feel, thanks to the wooden doors leading to the outside that let the fresh sea breeze in to wake you up in the morning. The outdoor area has to be the show stopper, where you can spend hours admiring the mountains and the turquoise sea from the comfort of the loungers, and enjoying a refreshing swim in the cool pool when the balmy heat gets too much.

Located in Cornino, a great starting point for discovering western Sicily. Prepare for a day of exploration and being awed by the beauty of nature with a forty-minute trip to The Zingaro Reserve – walk along the coastal path from Scopello to San Vito Lo Capo, where seven kilometres of diverse beauties await you. Your gaze will be drawn to the countless enchanting blue bays where the delicate hues of the silky white pebbles alternate with the roughness of the rock. The next day, take a thirty-minute drive to Trapani and relax on Mura di Tramontana beach before walking up the road along the sea wall to find a beautiful place for aperitivo, or continue towards the Ligni tower to meet a delightful tiny fishing village.


The Sicilian Way

Ceiling Fans

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, though we doubt you’ll need it in the heat of spring, autumn and summer. All in all, this place feels like you’ve got your own castle in the Sicilian countryside.

Wheelchair Access

With stunning views across the Gulf of Castellammare, a private infinity pool, and a shaded alfresco dining area, this villa ticks a lot of boxes. Located near the picturesque village of Scopello – which movie buffs may recognise from its cameo appearance in Hollywood's Oceans 12 – you’ll find a sandy beach, a weekly market, and a fishing harbour all within a 6-kilometre drive. We think this home is a great choice for a family or group of friends seeking a relaxing break in the sun.

Located in the pretty coastal town of Marsala, this stylish villa is ideally situated for exploring all of the sandy beaches, ancient ruins and wineries of Sicily's west coast. Boasting a gorgeous garden, you couldn't ask for a better spot to soak up the Sicilian sunshine. Start your days with a refreshing swim in the private pool, then make yourself a coffee and enjoy the shade of the patio for a while. If you fancy a chill day at home, you have plenty of sun loungers, umbrellas and comfy sofas to relax on. 

We highly recommend you take some time to explore the local area, too. The centre of Marsala is full of great wine bars and restaurants, making it perfect for a bite to eat and a relaxing afternoon sampling some of the local produce. There are also some beautiful beaches here, meaning you have the best of both worlds on your doorstep. 

When you get home, it's time to get creative on the barbecue and try recreating some of your favourite Italian dishes. Dine alfresco beneath the pergola then unwind with a few games of table tennis in the garden.

Chic and modern, this villa is an ideal base for friends or family on a Sicilian retreat. Set over two non-connecting floors, both have living, dining and kitchen areas, so it’s a fantastic choice for people who like to holiday together, yet still enjoy some privacy. Step outdoors, and you can take advantage of the sun-kissed terraces, a Mediterranean garden and a swimming pool that’s shared with the owners, who live in another villa on-site. Ready to head out and explore? It’s a short distance to the beach of Lido Signorino, or hop in the car for a trip to Marsala, six kilometres away, where authentic Italian eateries and shops await. 

Sicilian Sweet Treat

Umbrellas

The real joy of this home is its knockout setting. Standing brilliant white in the rugged Sicilian countryside, overlooking the glittering Mediterranean, it feels like pure bliss waking up here every morning. The house faces northeast, so you’re in for some spectacular sunrises – if you can get up, that is, as the plush beds are irresistible. 

Slick, all-grey interiors are kept deliberately simple to allow the technicolour landscapes to sing. The bedrooms are minimalist yet comfortable and with food at the heart of Sicilian living, it’s only right that this home’s only interior communal space is a large kitchen and dining room. 

Outside, it’s delightfully quiet – the ocean and the soft melody of birdsong the only sounds. Splash around in the pool before enjoying an aperitivo on the terrace. When you’re ready to head out and explore, the picturesque town of Castellammare del Golfo with its ochre fishermen’s houses and golden beaches are just twenty minutes away by car.

If you're looking for a cosy, wholesome getaway in a traditional Sicilian village, this home could be just the ticket. Nestled on the edge of Buseto Palizzolo, a small hillside village, this feels like the home of a Sicilian family. It's warm and inviting, with wood beamed ceilings, homely furniture, and traditional checkered floors. Upstairs, you'll find comfortable bedrooms, with high ceilings and charming decor. But in the outdoor area, you're taken somewhere completely different than a quaint cottage in a village – you have a terrace that offers a breathtaking view of the rolling mountains and vast countryside, as well as a long glistening pool for taking that all-important dips in the summer heat. Surrounded by gardens of palm trees and lush greenery, it's a delightful oasis. 

This home is a lovely place for a group of friends or small family to settle into the slower pace of life while exploring the charming surroundings. You're a short walk from local supermarkets and butchers, ideal for picking up a hearty breakfast. The most beautiful place to enjoy breakfast, or any of your meals, is in the open courtyard. The cobbled street, cream houses, and flowered hedges make it an idyllic spot. When you want to get out and explore this beautiful corner of Sicily, you're around a twenty-five-minute drive from the whitewashed city of Trapani. There are plenty of rocky coves and beaches to relax and swim in the sea or simply wander around its narrow streets, soaking in the rich Sicilian culture. 

Casa Chiara

Up in the hills of northern Sicily, this villa enjoys seclusion and some incredible views of the coastline. Fields, hills and a shore pocked with sandy beaches stretch before you and the charming coastal village of Scopello is around a fifteen-minute drive away for restaurants, bars and swimming spots. The highlight of the villa has to be the terrace, not just for the panoramic view, but for the inviting plunge-style pool and summer kitchen letting you know this place has been designed with days outdoors in mind. Deck chairs and lounge seats are shaded by olive trees.

Inside, the living area is bright and open, with a typical combination of terracotta tiles and a wooden ceiling. You can throw open the double glass doors to the terrace and let the hilltop air in, where the lofty space remains breezy. And the view from in here, of the rugged Sicilian mountains, is just as good as outside.   

Tucked Away

Cute and compact, this radiant villa is a wave of exuberance in the Sicilian countryside. An idyllic outdoor space blends a kaleidoscope of colours to create a dreamy setting for your Italian escape – and that's not even the best part. 

Wherever you sit in the terrace, you'll have stunning views of the mountainous landscape that sits behind the plant life. It's a vibrant oasis of gorgeous tones and striking scenery. 

Wander inside and the bold colours continue. Royal blues and deep reds decorate the communal areas, whilst the bedrooms feature lighter shades and floral patterns.

We imagine you'll spend most of your time outdoors, whether it's swimming in the pool or lounging on the sun beds. For meal times, a cute table rests under the veranda – we think you'll love sharing fettuccine alfredo or ravioli here, especially during the dreamy magic of sunset. 

If all that pasta has given you the energy for an adventure, you're spoilt for choice for day trips. Trapani and Marsala – two nearby towns – give a glimpse into the quintessential lifestyle of the locals. A little further afield, you'll discover Monte Cofano and Lo Zingaro nature reserves, a utopia of raw, natural beauty.

Outdoor Bathtub

Perched on the hillside on the Sicilian coast, the view from this home’s terrace is simply sublime. Light stone surrounds the lagoon-shaped swimming pool which invites you for a cooling dip in the heat of the Sicilian sun and, wending your way around the terraced gardens, you’ll find a ping pong table, outdoor dining area and summer kitchen for days spent alfresco, all with a sea view. It’s a leisurely walk into the pretty coastal village of Scopello for pizzerias, seafront bars and a calm bay for swimming in the sea.

Inside, the villa feels beachy and traditional at the same time with wooden ceilings, crisp white walls and splashes of ocean blue. The table by the glass double doors offers a coastal panorama for long, leisurely breakfasts and the nautical theme of the decor is a reminder of your oceanfront location. The entire living area is open, thanks to an archway at the centre, making the kitchen, living and dining areas feel spacious and breezy. Bedrooms, with their splashes of artwork on the walls and cute wooden-shuttered windows, are a delight to retire to come bedtime. 

Seaside Seclusion

Perched on the hillside in the village of Scopello, this villa is ideally located for those looking to explore the unspoilt corner of Sicily. The interiors are contemporary, if a little dated – but the panoramic Mediterranean Sea views make up for it. Small but perfectly formed, the private swimming pool makes for the ideal spot to soak up some sun. While the outdoor dining area is perfectly positioned to enjoy some local Sicilian wine and watch the sunset. There’s plenty of local restaurants to discover just a ten-minute drive away, while the livelier resort of Castellammare de Golfo isn’t too far.

A short trip from the bustling, colourful streets of the island capital of Palermo, seventy minutes by car will whisk you away to another world. This home in the west of Sicily sits in a region peppered with hillside villages, traditional fishing towns, and historic rural architecture. But this charming countryside abode has so much to offer, that you might fancy staying put.

The classic stone build of this restored ‘baglio’ is characteristic of the local area. Set around a paved courtyard with native foliage blooming all over the walls, this postcard-ready scene feels truly welcoming. Even better, you’ll be greeted with a hamper full of local goodies for breakfast. Naturally, you might want to set up brunch on the poolside terrace before dipping your toes in the pool, mimosa in hand.

When you need a break from the midday sun, you certainly won’t mind going inside to play table tennis in the resident's clubhouse, or relaxing in your own rustic villa. We love the exposed stonework in the living space, with grand timber beams propping up a wonderfully lofty ceiling. Minimal furniture lets the architecture do the talking, while the 'tricolore' colour scheme of the country kitchen is a vibrant little touch that makes cooking even more of a pleasure.

Apricot Branch

Warmth, beauty and light shine from every detail of this home on the western coast of Sicily. 

Located in Marsala and just a short stroll from the beach, this is the kind of space that reflects and celebrates the natural abundance of its setting. From the sun-dappled garden and shimmering pool to the minimalist styling, this is the perfect spot for a rejuvenating reset. 

Set across one floor, you’ll find the living room and kitchen provide an abundance of space for relaxing, cooking and enjoying quality time together, while the bedrooms set the tone for a truly restorative stay. Outside, dreamy days can be spent lounging by the pool, sipping sunset drinks and dining al fresco under the stars. 

For adventures further afield, the atmospheric streets of Marsala provide a wonderful opportunity for exploring ancient ruins and sampling the famous local wine. There’s also great access to the coves and beaches of the shimmering coastline, while the Zingaro Nature Reserve and its spectacular hiking trails are within easy driving distance. 

Villa Amber

Hammock

This one is for those who enjoy long hikes as the trails of Zingaro nature reserve are on the doorstep and in fifteen minutes you can be on the beach. A long, winding road to the home ensures peace and quiet.  There’s no need to concern yourself with walking trails when the view from the pool terrace is as good as this – taking in Sicily’s rugged coastline and the Tyrrhenian Sea. A summer kitchen is ideal for big meals outside at the table beneath the twisting olive tree. Inside, it’s a vision of old-world Sicily, with a cast-iron stove in the living room and exposed stone walls.

In Nature We Trust

Heated Pool

Memorable times are guaranteed at this white Cubist villa surrounded by palm trees. Located above Marakaibbo beach, this home is in a prime location to spend sun-soaked days above the sea with your loved ones. 

The Cubist concept is evident in this villa’s interior and exterior – geometric forms take shape in the bookcases and abstract open-plan living spaces, whilst the architecture itself is characterised by sharp, linear lines that enable perspective viewing across the pristine pool, the manicured gardens and beyond the palm tree border.

Contemporary in style and soaked in white - this home invites you to unwind in its light-filled rooms. Take your pick of nesting spot – there are two living areas and kitchens here, so you can enjoy quiet moments as well as sociable settings. Wake up with the Mediterranean seascape whilst sipping fresh juice, then head to the terrace for a sunbathing session. You have another choice to make - cool off in the shared pool or sprawl out with a book, under the shaded pergola. After a barbecue lunch on the patio, fix up a round of Aperol spritzes and take in the blue views.

Marakaikko beach, with white shores and shallow waters, is only a fourteen-minute walk when you’re craving an afternoon on the sand. If you’re seeking a cultural excursion, drive seventeen minutes to Marsala, where you’ll discover the ancient ruins, The Grignani Palace and Baglio Anselmi Archaeological Museum – don’t forget to sample a glass of Marsala wine in one of the many charming bars.

Sicilian Cubism

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. 



Sweet Blue Horizon

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.

Self Check-in / Check-out

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. 

Aqua Vista

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. 


Sicilian Serenity 

Surrounded by over two hectares of verdant parkland, this home is perfectly placed for making the most of the beautiful Sicilian sunshine. From the saltwater infinity pool to the shaded hammocks, there are plenty of spots to unwind here. In fact, we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to spend all day outdoors, sipping a refreshing Amaro Averna cocktail beneath the ancient pines while one of your fellow guests fires up the barbecue. We can almost taste the skewers now…

When you’re ready to head inside, you’ll have two buildings to choose from: the main villa – a converted farmhouse with authentic design features galore – or a separate annex with its own living and sleeping quarters. Whichever you choose, you’ll have loads of space to socialise with your fellow guests, so why not while away the evening with a parlour game or two before heading upstairs for a well-deserved rest? 

Come morning, there’ll be plenty of places to explore nearby, from the idyllic seaside town of Castellammare del Golfo to the ancient streets of Palermo, an hour’s drive from home. Set off for a day of sightseeing, sample delicious cuisine at a local restaurant, or make your way to the Riserva dello Zingaro and beat the heat with a dip in the Mediterranean Sea.

Casa Pina

Pool / Snooker Table

This unique home consists of a charming blend of old and new, seeing tradition and modernity meet to create a unique space on the stunning island of Sicily. Nestled amid the verdant hills of Marsala, it offers you a chance to retreat into the tranquillity of nature whilst still finding yourself within easy reach of all the amenities of the town centre. Head just a few kilometres coastward, and you will then find yourself on some of the island's most beautiful beaches, characterised by their stretches of white sand and clear blue waters. 

Enjoy coming together in the cosy, welcoming interiors of this home, feasting on a smorgasbord of Sicilian specialties in the traditional dining room. Or, take some time to yourself and curl up in the living area with a good book (and perhaps a glass of the area's namesake wine). There are plenty of inviting spaces outside, too, including a bocce ball court and hydromassage tub that's perfect for whiling away a balmy late afternoon. Why not start the day with a dip in the swimming pool, before drying off in the sun amid the scents of Sicily, which include ancient lemon and olive groves as well as the faint whisper of the salty Tyrrhenian?

The Scent of Sicily

Streaming Services

Vacuum Cleaner

This sleek home offers a slice of serenity in western Sicily. How about watching a sunset over Mothia and the Egladi Islands while sipping local wine? We love the tropical garden, sun-kissed terraces, and seasonal pool here. Hydromassage tubs and showers await indoors, though some en-suite layouts are partially open-plan with less privacy. Curious kittens might pop by when you're sunbathing, which could be a dealbreaker for those with severe allergies. There's a beach nearby, plus Marsala boasts ancient sights and a buzzing nature reserve.

Nirvana Hideaway

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. Zingaro nature reserve is also only a short and scenic drive away, and in less than ten minutes by car, you can reach the beautiful beaches of Sicily’s rugged coast.  

Olives by the Ocean

This slow-paced hideaway makes the perfect setting for a dreamy island escape. Perched above the bay of Cala Mazzo di Sciacca with the beach just a short walk away, you’ll find yourself immersed in the natural beauty of northern Sicily. 

From early morning dips in the pool to lazy lunches on the terrace and golden-hour drinks followed by sizzling barbecue meals, it’s easy to settle in and make this space your own. And when you’re ready to head inside, you’ll find the air-conditioned rooms set the tone for total relaxation. 

Days can be spent drifting between the pool and the beach or exploring the coast. Admire the views whilst walking to the nearby bars and restaurants, take a boat trip, follow hiking trails or jump in the car and drive to Palermo. Wherever the day takes you, this home welcomes you to enjoy it all with ease, comfort and style.    

A Brighter View  

For a wholesome getaway in the Sicilian countryside, it doesn't get much cosier than this. With traditional kitchen tiles, exposed brick, and a sink of pure Italian stone, it feels like you've stepped right into a family home. Perfect for those that like to stay somewhere with character, personality, and that feels like a home from home. The furnishings are timeless – you'll love sitting around your dining table with a cup of coffee, admiring the traditional touches and the tall wood-beamed ceilings.

Up the steps, you'll reach the mezzanine that serves as a second bedroom. But you'll also find the door that leads out to what's arguably the shining gem of this home, the terrace. We love its rustic walls of ancient stone, that promise complete privacy. Mornings out here are particularly beautiful as you enjoy a breakfast spread on the outdoor dining table with the morning sun on your face, looking out at the vineyards and luscious rolling hills. And the cherry on top is your sparkling shared pool, complete with sun loungers and beach chairs. Relax while you look out at the view, taking all-important dips to escape the heat, and sipping on an afternoon glass of wine. 

When you want to get out and explore this beautiful corner of Sicily, you're around a twenty-five-minute drive from the whitewashed city of Trapani. There are plenty of rocky coves and beaches to relax and swim in the sea or simply wander around its narrow streets, soaking in the rich Sicilian culture. 

Terrace Hideaway

This modern villa, located in Castellammare del Golfo, is the perfect base for exploring the western region of Sicily, including Trapani, Marsala, and Segesta. Set across two floors, you’ll find two en-suite bedrooms and two triple bedrooms, ideal for families travelling with young children. While you’ll find all the mod-cons you need inside this home, it’s the outdoor space that caught our eye. With far-reaching sea views, sun-drenched terraces and a private pool, it’s just the spot to soak up the Sicilian sun in complete serenity. 

The Ocean's Song

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

Free Parking On Street

This pure white home is situated close by to the bright blue sea of Sicily, which can be admired from the comfort of your very own terrace. You'll also notice a fantastic view of the nearby rock formations accompanied by the glistening skies and verdant scenery. Relax on the sofa with a brand new book or watch TV from the dining table as you tuck into a light bite for breakfast. You'll wake up every day to the sound of the ocean waves and the locals having fun at the beach – making it incredibly hard not to spend every moment of the day outdoors. 

Head upstairs to the sun terrace to enjoy a bottle of wine with your loved ones under the sun – it's also a lovely little spot to dine on snacks together. Stretch out and put your feet up on one of the sun loungers as you spend the early afternoon in pure bliss before heading out to the beach. A seven–minute walk takes you to the golden sands for a day trip by the sea, followed by wandering through the streets of San Vito to discover local hidden gems and some delicious eateries.

Angelic Aqua

Experience romantic and rural delight in this pastel-hued villa, nestled in the Trapani hills and next to the characteristic town of Salemi. This charming casale is surrounded by a Mediterranean garden of olive and palm trees and has plenty of space for relaxed aperitivos with friends and starlit feasts with the family.

Step inside and be instantly embraced by this home’s traditional appeal. We love the traditional details – think period furnishings, classic artworks and arched doorways that make this home feel like an indulgent Italian sanctuary. With an abundance of elegant lounging spaces, you can unwind with a glass of local Alcamo on your balcony as dusk descends, in the garden lounge surrounded by fauna, or in the masonry kitchen as you prepare an Italian dinner. 

The outside is as romantic as the interior here, with its manicured gardens and floral borders. It’s effortless to pass the time here – turning pages of your new read on the sunbeds, shaded by the parasols, or floating amongst the glistening ripples of your pool.

Your home is located strategically for cultural exploration – spend the day at one of the area’s vineyards, discovering the region's wines, or make the thirty-minute drive to visit the preserved Doric Temple of Segesta.

Sicilian Pastels

Sitting in a secluded area of Sicily, surrounded by peaceful rolling hills, this home is ideal for serenity-seekers. It's still just a short drive from the nearest beach when you're craving sun, sea and sand, and isn't too far from the heart of Trapani when you fancy that city life.

While the interiors are stylish and modern, it's clear this home has been designed for you to live alfresco. A covered terrace houses a dining set where you can share a toast to the Italian life, plus a lounge area where you can kick back with a good book – and of course, the private pool is always on hand to cool you down on hot summer days.





Just Float

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. 

Palermo Panorama

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

Anyone in search of a slow-paced island escape will fall in love with this home. From the mesmerising views across the glistening shoreline of Castellammare del Golfo to the peaceful garden and contemporary comforts, every detail inspires a wonderful state of relaxation. 

Wake up early and watch the sunrise over the mountains, take a refreshing dip in the pool, spend lazy afternoons on a lounger and gather for delicious golden-hour drinks as the sun sets. By night, the terrace transforms into the perfect setting for intimate candlelit dinners and stargazing, while the air-conditioned rooms will ensure you awaken feeling refreshed and ready to explore. 

From here, it’s just a five-minute drive to the restaurants and bars of Scopello, while Cala Guidaloca beach is just 1km away. Days can be spent drifting between the sea and a sun lounger, following spectacular hiking trails, exploring archaeological sights and admiring the views whilst sipping Sicilian wine.
