There's nothing like a sea view. And this superb home high in the hills above Cefalù has some of the most dramatic around – with stunning panoramic views from its terrace. A blissful place to sit and read, or just relax with a glass of wine, it's dotted with gorgeous potted plants and has several comfortable seating areas – all looking out across the sea. And follow the path through the terraced gardens to the pool area for even more incredible vistas. Here you can swim all day, bask on the deck or relax in the shade of the trees, all the while looking down at the seaside town below. And if the outdoor space has wowed you, wait until you explore inside this renovated period farmhouse. Restored with a great deal of care, using traditional methods and elegant furnishings, it's a cool, calm place to relax with a 'contemporary coastal' design. The white walls, concrete floors and timber ceilings follow through two living rooms and a charming kitchen. One of the bedrooms allows for up to four guests, making it perfect for youngsters sharing a room, while we've fallen in love with the family bathroom with its stylish Tadelakt grey... plaster. If you're heading into Cefalù, it's less than a ten-minute drive downhill, and it's an hour to Palermo.
