Beach lovers rejoice, this cosy apartment is just metres away from the gorgeous Sicilian coastline. Wander out of the home and you'll immediately reach the golden sand, kissed by the gentle waves of the water. Such is the proximity to the ocean, you can hear the sound of the waves when you wake up – an alarm clock you actually look forward to hearing. A dip in the crisp, azure water is the perfect way to begin your day and get you ready for your Sicilian adventure. If you're setting your sights further ashore, your host can arrange boat rental for a day traversing the water at your own pace. Bikes and cars are also available for hire if you'd prefer to head inland, stopping off at the charming towns that form the island. Whilst you're out for the day, pick up some ingredients for pomodoro pasta, crusty bread and Franciacorta wine to enjoy back at the apartment. Gather on the cute dining table on the terrace to enjoy each bite and sip, a serene experience that's heightened by the radiant tones of sunset.
