They say Summer in Sicily is best lived outdoors – and at this spectacular family-sized villa in Syracuse you'll be soaking up the sunshine in dazzling style. Spread over two separate white stone units, you'll find a pergola patio area, equipped with a barbecue, that screams dinner and drinks alfresco, long into the balmy evenings. There's a sparkling salt water swimming pool and whirlpool for cooling down on hot days, while the beautifully-manicured gardens serve as the perfect backdrop to your swimming, sun tanning, and holiday indulging. Inside, each unit includes an open-plan kitchen, living and dining, plus a dedicated desk for those keeping one eye on business. We love the stylish furnishings and clean lines that make for modern, well-proportioned interiors. There are six air-conditioned bedrooms, two with marble-cadded en-suite bathrooms for that extra level of modern comfort. You'll wake up feeling rested and ready to explore the local area that's bursting with history, culture, and picturesque views. You're a short drive the charming cities of Syracuse, Noto, and Modica, while the sandy beaches are reachable in 3km.
