The Sicilian Seaside Seccagrande, Sicily

Holiday Rental Description

Situated on the beautiful Sicilian coastline, this charming villa welcomes you to experience an Italian seaside escape. Boasting a beautiful garden, you'll have your own private oasis to relax in, complete with a swimming pool perfect for cooling off after a long day in the sun. There are some lovely traditional features here, such as wooden vaulted ceilings and blue patterned tiles, firmly planting you in these spectacular surroundings. That doesn't mean you won't have all of the contemporary comforts you could ever need, though – there's even a gym here meaning you can start your days with an energising workout.

Once you're ready to seize the day, there's a sandy beach within walking distance, as well as the typical Sicilian seaside town of Seccagrande which has a few shops, restaurants and bars. If you're keen to find the best beaches in the area, drive to Torre Salsa Nature Reserve to explore the pristine shorelines, crystal-clear water and unbelievable natural scenery and wildlife.

After an adventure-filled day, head back home to craft a rustic Italian feast in the outdoor kitchen. The wood-fired oven is ideal for cooking pizzas from scratch, and if you can't cook pizza in Italy, when can you? End the night drinking wine on the patio, as the sun sets in the distance.
