Comprising three separate buildings, this villa is perfect for those who like their privacy when staying in a group. The outside space was our favourite feature of this home – expect views of the countryside and Mount Etna from the private hot tub and swimming pool, as well as a dining terrace for meals in the sunshine. Location-wise, the home is within easy driving distance of Sortino and less than an hour from the coast and the historic city of Syracuse.
