We can't promise you won't get the holiday blues after staying here, but we can promise it will be well and truly worth it. Located just 100 metres away from Santa Maria del Focallo's sandy beach, enjoy an authentic Sicilian escape with the sought-after shoreline at your fingertips. Take in captivating views of the waterfront from the garden. As with an abundance of natural beauty in the surrounding area, it's safe to say you'll leave feeling refreshed, revitalised and ready for whatever life throws at you upon leaving this Mediterranean retreat. In keeping with the home's proximity to the brilliantly blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, a blue, grey and white colour scheme is carried through the interiors with a nod to the soothing seascape. Spread across two floors, there is plenty of room for up to eight guests to relax in harmony. We particualrly love the outdoor terrace space, where you'll find alfresco dining set up and lounge area – perfect for kicking back after sunny days spent on the beach.
