Situated a ten-minute drive from the Tyrrhenian coast, this striking villa combines Rococo-style with contemporary elements and plenty of mod-cons to guarantee a comfortable stay. A wall of glass allows the outside to meet the inside – spend mornings savouring a coffee on the wrap-around couch before heading onto the terrace for a traditional Sicilian breakfast in the sunshine.

Spend lazy afternoons swimming languid laps in the private pool or kick back and relax with a good book in the shade of the pergola. When you’re ready to explore your surroundings, grab your beach essentials and take the short drive to Spiaggia di San Gregorio. After a spot of sunbathing and a dip in the impossibly clear water, nip into Capo d'Orlando for a cappuccino and a cannolo in a cosy café.

As the day draws to a close, head home for a slap-up supper beneath the chandelier in the kitchen diner, followed by a sing-along around the piano in the formal sitting room. Watch the sunset from the balcony until it’s time to get some rest in your sumptuous bedrooms.
