If it’s breathtaking views you seek, you’ve found it in this characterful Sicilian villa. Although Cefalù, considered to be one of Italy’s most beautiful towns, is nearby, you’ll feel a million miles from anything and anyone. Perched on a hillside, overlooking the slopping hills melting into the Mediterranean Sea, you’ll find the tranquillity you’ve been seeking. It’s one thing to have your own pool, but an infinity pool is something else entirely. With barely any distance between you and the vast sea, it’s a beautiful way to feel immersed in nature. You’ll love swimming to the edge, getting lost in a daydream, before resuming your horizontal position on the sun lounger. After blissful hours blend together and day becomes dusk, your hardest decision of the day will be where to watch the sunset. Will it be down the steps, around the camper-style chairs, or on your decked balcony, where the panoramic views are out of this world? Either way, a gin & tonic with a garnish of fresh Sicilian citrus fruit is the perfect sundowner. When the sun’s gone down and you’ve polished off a fresh barbecue dinner, it’s the perfect time to make the most of your boho-chic interior. Chat... around the cushioned living space, enjoying a few tipples. It's especially cosy in the cooler months, with the underfloor heating warming your bare feet. If there’s anywhere worth leaving this villa for, it’s Cefalù. Explore the beaches, rocky cliffsides, piazzas, viewpoints, and medieval streets of this dusky pink town.
