For beach bunnies, there’s no beating the location of this apartment. The garden leads straight onto the caster sugar sand of one of Sicily’s pristine beaches, where loungers and parasols await. Listen to the sound of waves as you dine on the shaded terrace, and head inside when the heat gets too much. Though the living area feels a little basic, it’s an open, social space with everything you need for self-catering. The bedrooms are comfy if functional, but the real draw is the beachside location. Plus, it’s just a fifteen-minute drive to the beautiful town of Scicli and a further fifteen minutes to Modica.
