With the golden sands of Santa Maria del Focallo just footsteps from your door, this beachfront home for two is a no-brainer for guests looking for a Sicilian coastal escape. Outside, the vast terrace overlooking the sea is a delight, and wait until you see the far-reaching views to Pozzallo’s twinkling bay at night. A bar, supermarket and newsagent are within easy reach on foot to pick up essentials. For a little more bustle, you’ll need to drive into Pozzallo (8 kilometres) or carry on to the beautiful baroque towns of Modica, Ragusa, and Noto – they’re all within easy reach.
