Lounge around the pool and enjoy this stylish home's beautiful Sicilian countryside vistas. Then savour an alfresco lunch amongst the ancient olive trees in the pretty gardens or simply relax to the sound of bird song. Inside, large arched windows allow the views to be enjoyed from the living room. This home is full of character, from the vaulted, whitewashed beamed ceilings, to the exposed stone walls and antiques. We love how your hosts have combined the old with the new here. Whip up some pesto alla Siciliana in the blender in the kitchen and enjoy it with some pasta. This home is perfect for entertaining your family and friends. If you tire of the pool (is that possible?), then there are a number of beaches nearby. Head to Pantanello Beach, where you’ll find sunbeds and a bar or spend the day on Old Beach Marina di Avola – both have gorgeous pale golden sands and crystal-clear waters (five minutes by car).
