With direct sea access, a private swimming pool overlooking an outcrop of lava rock and the sea, a wrap-around balcony terrace with panoramic views of the seascape, plus two floors of beautiful interior designs and luxury living – what more could you want from a villa in Sicily? Stylish and refined, this place exudes cool – we love its contemporary aesthetic alongside quirky accessories and artworks that inject character into the space with elegance. Access to the first floor is reachable by an external staircase which leads to a large living area, dining space, kitchen and five luxurious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Meanwhile, on the ground floor, you'll find a second living room with a kitchen and dining area and a further three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms alongside a games room (featuring table tennis, table football and a punching bag). Beyond the villa's sublime interiors, you'll find a well-kept garden with a swimming pool, sun loungers, a shaded pergola and plenty of Mediterranean fauna and flora. Located just a few kilometres away and all reachable by car – discover Mount Etna's park, Acireale, Catania, Taormina and Syracuse. Lachea island is also well worth a visit if boat trips are your thing and the stacks at Aci Trezza and Aci Castello are not to be missed.
