Nestled next to the beach in Syracuse, this home is an ideal base for a stay on the Sicilian coast. With one bedroom open to the living area below, we think this apartment is best suited to a family who don’t mind the lack of privacy. Still, when you can wake up to sea views, best enjoyed from the private balcony, sleeping on the mezzanine area seems a small price to pay. You’ll be drawn to the water in no time here – and you’re in luck, Cala Rossa beach is a mere 50-metre stroll away.

Discover the Sicilian island of Pantelleria from this gorgeous villa. It has a contemporary feel with elements of a dammuso, a typical Pantelleria home, and is surrounded by two acres of fragrant Mediterranean garden. We think this home is particularly suited to families – furry friends are welcome, and your host can provide a range of equipment for little ones, including a baby bath and cot. The pool offers breathtaking sunset views, but for sunbathing by the sea Sataria Beach is just a short drive away.

Positioned atop the hilly landscape of Lipari island, with unbroken views across the Tyrrhenian, this sprawling homely villa is footsteps from the sea. Days will be spent toing and froing to the sea rocks, watching steam escape from fumaroles on the distant Vulcano Island and lounging by your shimmering pool. 

The expansive terraces bring with them the scents and sounds of a Mediterranean summer: the catch of the day grilling on the barbecue, a clattering of plates, the heady aroma of herbs drifting from the gardens and a salt-tinged ocean breeze. 

Inside, modern furnishings expertly contrast with original timber beams and stone walls to create a space that’s a pleasure to unwind in. To take the relaxation up a notch, call upon bar staff and a private chef to ensure dinner parties go without a hitch. 
  
When you’re ready to explore, your host can organise an exclusive boat tour or helicopter ride – there’s a helipad on the premises, naturally. But if you’re keen to stretch your legs, it’ll take you fifteen minutes to stroll into Lipari town. Simply wander the pretty streets and lap up a laidback atmosphere from the picturesque harbour.

Contemporary living meets Sicilian charm in this traditional home. Located in the historic area of Ortigia, you'll be surrounded by ancient streets contrasting this stylishly modern apartment. Decorated with warm tones reminiscent of the colours of the desert, this is an ideal home for a romantic getaway with your loved one. Start your day by flinging open the window shutters in the bedroom and enjoying cornettis and fresh orange juice in bed, and end the day by indulging in a glass of moscato wine on the romantic outdoor balcony area. This home is made by love for those who are in love.

The Ortigia area you'll be located in is just as romantic to explore considering it is steeped in history as part of Syracuse. Wander the streets on your doorstep and discover picturesque squares to while away time in, or take a short walk down to Cala Rossa beach to marvel at stunning azure waters. A picnic here will be an afternoon well spent. Make sure to sample the local granitas during your stay here – they're something special.

Nice to haves

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.

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.

Out-of-this-world vistas take centre stage at this former watchtower overlooking the glistening bay of Isola Bella. Expertly converted with design-savvy interiors, the three-storey home takes full advantage of its stunning location. There's a charming balcony off the free-flowing living area – the perfect spot for your morning coffee. But take it from us – the view is best admired from the private roof terrace, with a hot tub perfectly placed to take in the infinite horizon. Ready to explore? You're just a short walk from the beach and cable car to Taormina's old town for alfresco dining and people-watching in the central piazza.

This stunning apartment makes for a dreamy setting for holidays with family or friends. It overlooks the sea from a privileged spot on the island of Ortigia. There are two large terraces so you’ll find every opportunity to admire those sea views, and there are plenty of tall windows inside to showcase them too. We love how much room there is here, with a variety of seating areas so you can gather together or enjoy a quiet moment by yourself. Every bedroom has a private bathroom, making this an excellent base for a stress-free stay, even with a large group.  

The Lady of Ortigia

Indoor Pool

If this Sicilian abode wasn't on your bucket list before, we're sure it will be after seeing that spectacular rooftop terrace. Boasting a private plunge pool and panoramic views of Noto's historic centre, this heavenly oasis is the cherry on top of an already-impressive cake. The apartment itself is stylish and welcoming, filled with design-led furnishings and a medley of contemporary and old-school artworks. All in all, this is a home you won't forget in a hurry.

Spend sunny days enjoying the luxuries of your outdoor space, where you can dine, lounge and swim to your heart's content. Your host will provide a basket filled with breakfast items, so you can look forward to your first morning being easy and stress-free. Tuck into Italian grub while taking in the array of ancient buildings all around – this unspoiled city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, considered the apotheosis of Sicilian baroque. If you find yourself craving the sea air, you'll find the closest beach just a fifteen-minute drive away.

On the coast of the Ionian Sea, the ancient city of Taormina sits in Sicily’s eastern region – a place where dramatic shorelines, bustling towns, and luxurious homes live in harmony. At the curve of this striking bay, Isola Bella Beach is the most beautiful spot for a picnic on the sands while you admire the scenery. But just an eighteen-minute walk from here, we know of an even better viewpoint.

This home is a true example of luxury. While the exterior looks like a monument of old-world Italy that you might see in the guidebook, this castle-like, stone tower is your apartment. Set over three lofty levels, the elegant, modern interiors are only made more tasteful by the generous welcome hamper from your host. Full of local goodies, you can take something out to nibble while you explore your new surroundings.

You can’t help but immediately be drawn to the panoramic balcony and roof terrace. Views out to Isola Bella are simply unmatched, especially when you’re perched on the tower’s ramparts with a glass of Sicilian wine, reclining on a sun lounger, or soaking in the outdoor hot tub under the stars.

Upon the Ramparts

With its mesmerising views and contemporary design, this home will captivate you from the moment of arrival. Outside, leisurely days can be spent relaxing by the private pool. There is also a terrace with a barbecue and plenty of spots to sit back and gaze at the horizon. Housekeeping is included in your stay and you will receive a welcome basket with breakfast items for your first day. Your host can also help organise a range of sweet extras – including private chefs and airport transfers. It’s worth noting you will need a car to get around here, but it’s just 4 kilometres to Giardini Naxos beach, while the centre of Taormina is 7 kilometres away.
