The property is designed with families in mind, with a twin kids room and a separate single room that’s ideal for another sibling, grandparent or nanny/au pair. Built in the middle of an olive grove, the villa is blessed with timeless views over the peaceful hills and the sparkling sea beyond. Spend your days by the pool, down at the beach or exploring the picturesque ancient villages that adorn this historic part of Sicily.

Style Notes
Minimalist and modern. The villa is sleek and neutral throughout, with double aspect floor to ceiling windows which allow the house to remain cool even in the hot summer months (plus air conditioning throughout). From the front terrace you can watch the beautiful sunrise over the sea and the green surroundings frame the picturesque exterior to perfection. We love the exposed old stone walls, the botanical-inspired artwork and the patterned tiles in the kitchen.
