Say ciao to this charming home-from-home. With shallow waves and sandy beaches just steps away, this villa is an idyllic Sicilian sanctuary.

With a minimal and bright interior, modern amenities and plenty of space to socialise, this villa has everything you need to live the laidback Sicilian lifestyle. Start your day with a walk along the pristine sands of Oasi Maganuco Beach before tucking into a fresh breakfast on the terrace. If you’re seeking an active start, get your blood pumping with a few strokes in the pool before stretching out on the lounge chairs to soak up the Mediterranean rays. After a sun-kissed afternoon poolside, head to your outdoor dining room for an Italian feast – for special evenings, have your host arrange a private chef. And as the stars descend, settle under the moon-illuminated sky for late-night conversations and a glass of Nero d’Avola.

With the beach just moments away, we imagine you’ll want to spend most of your time with the sand beneath your feet – why not pack a picnic ready for when hunger strikes? Enjoy a day in Modica, one of UNESCO’s heritage sites and home to the Chiesa di San Giovanni Evangelista and Church of San Pietro – it's a short drive away. You can’t visit the city without discovering the Cioccolato di Modica – stop in for a sweet treat, admire the chocolate sculptures and learn all about its history.
