Perched up high in the Sicilian hills, this home overlooks Cefalù and the Mediterranean Sea. The terraced garden wraps around the property so you can be in the sun all day long. Plus, its pathways lead directly into Madonie National Park, ideal for any nature lovers in your party. You couldn’t exactly call the interiors here modern, but they’re practical and unfussy – not that you’ll be lingering inside for long thanks to the outdoor kitchen and abundance of space for alfresco dining. And in terms of local amenities, you’re just a short drive from the narrow streets of Cefalù, where you’ll find plenty of shops and restaurants to whet your appetite.

Home truths

    This home is made up of the main villa and a separate annexe

    While some bathrooms aren't photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the property

    If you're travelling in a smaller group, you may not have access to every room

    You're a bit out of the way here, so having a car is essential

    There's a sofa bed in the annexe living room if you require more flexible sleeping arrangements

    Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request

    The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times

    You may be able to hold special events at this home, but we'd recommend having a word with your host before making any arrangements
