Nestled next to Santa Maria del Focallo beach, this coastal first-floor home is a breath of fresh sea air. Inside is chic and welcoming, with stylish tiles in the kitchen and bathroom and a bedroom dressed in classic coastal colours. You couldn’t wish for a more restful spot after a day exploring the delights of Sicily. As you wander around your home-away-from-home, you’ll soon be drawn out onto your balcony by inviting sofas and uninterrupted sea views. Before the day really springs into life and the beach becomes crowded, you can picture yourself tucked up on the sofa with breakfast on the table before you, enjoying the quiet rush of the ocean as the waves lap against the shore. Close your eyes and take a deep, refreshing breath and you’ll feel relaxation wash over you, setting you up perfectly for the day ahead. We can’t think of many better ways to start the day. You can enjoy a spot of sunbathing with loungers placed strategically on your balcony to make the most of the Sicilian sun, or if you long to feel the soft cushion of sand beneath your feet, cross the road where you can soak up the rays on... the beach. Take your holiday read out of your beach bag and unwind surrounded by picture-perfect scenery and in the company of your loved one – just what holidays are made for.
