With calming views of the Ionian Sea and overlooking Mount Etna, this Sicilian home offers sunshine, shade and relaxation in spades. Imagine yourself out on the terrace, sharing an alfresco breakfast as you socialise with the fresh, sea-salt breeze in the air. Afterwards, you might opt for a day of sunbathing, but with the crystal clear sea only moments away, don’t be surprised if you find yourself instinctively taking a walk there. Spend hours splashing in the water before heading back home for lunch. If you’re not one to cook every meal – and why should you when on holiday – you’ll be happy to find two pizzerias within walking distance. Emerald greens, deep purples, and gold all pop against an otherwise neutral colour palette, adding character to this space without disrupting the calm atmosphere. Curl up on the couch with a good book, take afternoon naps with the balcony doors flung open, enjoy an indulgent soak in the tub, and come together in the evenings for a family movie.
