Looking oh-so-pretty in pink, this beautiful family-sized villa on the outskirts of Sicily's Syracuse really is as good as it gets. It's surrounded by manicured gardens and stone terraces, so you can soak up the sunshine in peace and quiet. The home conquers indoor-outdoor living, with an alfresco dining area, equipped with a pergola and barbecue, a large swimming pool, and several furnished patios, which are the perfect outdoor spaces to unwind, watching the late afternoon sun go down. Old at heart, but with modern comfort at the forefront, the home blends stylish furnishings with antiques and bespoke features – we're particularly fond of the wood beams and winding wooden staircase in the cosy living space. Rustle up a hearty meal in the rustic kitchen, or if you don't feel like cooking, head into town for a bite to eat. Beyond this achingly gorgeous home, you'll find a local area bursting with life and things to do. You're a short walk from Fontane Bianche’s sandy beach, while the charming towns of Syracuse, Noto, and Modica are a short drive from the villa. That's if you can pull yourself away from this Sicilian treasure.
