Wake up to a sea breeze and sunshine glittering on the water at this modern villa on Sicily’s Ionian Coast. Inside, it’s a cool combination of white, black and dark blue with sleek marble-effect accents. There’s an open-plan living space complete with equipped kitchenette and three comfortable bedrooms which guarantee an excellent night’s sleep. Outside, the shaded terrace is the perfect place to catch up over a barbecue feast or unwind with a cold drink in hand. After soaking up the endless ocean vistas from a lounger, slip on your flip-flops and walk just 200 metres to Scogliera Bianca Beach. Culture vultures should head inland to Noto, not only for its baroque architecture and 18th-century Cathedral but to enjoy traditional cannoli in a long-standing café on a bustling street corner.
