Situated among rolling hills and picturesque vineyards of Western Sicily, this large villa makes for a tranquil base for family holidays. The home boasts a private swimming pool and stunning views from both the outside areas and from the interiors. The inside is all about traditional décor with sleek modern touches – note that you’ll need to climb stairs here. The outdoors is perfect for sunbathing and alfresco dining. We think a car is necessary here to explore the island and reach the nearby town of Battaglia, as well as the coast.
