Tucked Away

Holiday Rental Description

Up in the hills of northern Sicily, this villa enjoys seclusion and some incredible views of the coastline. Fields, hills and a shore pocked with sandy beaches stretch before you and the charming coastal village of Scopello is around a fifteen-minute drive away for restaurants, bars and swimming spots. The highlight of the villa has to be the terrace, not just for the panoramic view, but for the inviting plunge-style pool and summer kitchen letting you know this place has been designed with days outdoors in mind. Deck chairs and lounge seats are shaded by olive trees.

Inside, the living area is bright and open, with a typical combination of terracotta tiles and a wooden ceiling. You can throw open the double glass doors to the terrace and let the hilltop air in, where the lofty space remains breezy. And the view from in here, of the rugged Sicilian mountains, is just as good as outside.
