Best Holiday Villas in Sicily Where to?
I fell in love with Sicily at the end of my year abroad in Italy. I was lucky enough to have a best friend from Alcamo who hosted me in her family’s gorgeous villa five minutes from the beach. For those without a Sicilian connection, you can start your dreaming trip searching for one of Sicily’s coastal villas online. I think it is definitely the best way to explore the island with a group of friends or with your family. If you want my opinion, here are some of the best coastal villas in Sicily and you can find even more online. Villa Fontane Bianche This Villa has private access to sandy beaches and pristine water, open-air rooms, big comfy chaiselounges and big tables for communal dining. It is totally designed for outdoor living, surrounded by a large lawn and garden with 4 bedrooms, sleeping 8 people. Villa La Playa Located in Cefalù, a well-known seaside village on the north coast of Sicily, this villa has two units: the main house and the adjacent apartment. It overlooks a beautiful beach that is rarely crowded and surrounded by a stunning traditional garden. The beach is just 200 meters on foot! Outside there is a dining area, a barbecue, a cozy conversation cove and an outdoor kitchen with a cute little breakfast corner that will fit the whole family. It has 5 bedrooms and sleeps 10. Villa Corte Dorata This Villa is located in a stone tower with a stunning view of the south-eastern Sicilian coast. It has 4 bedrooms and sleeps 10. There’s a wellness area with sauna, Turkish bath, super-sized shower and a gorgeous Jacuzzi. On top of that, there’s a beautiful 12×6 meter swimming equipped with a solarium overlooking the unique town of Sicily.
Villa Capo Passero Ultra-modern villa, completely covered in white stone of Ispica and built with natural materials in accordance with the traditional local architecture. It consists of two adjacent units: the main house and an attached apartment. There are three outdoor terraces that open to stunning views of the sea and the little island of Capo Passero, which gives the Villa and town their names. The nearest access beach access is just about 300 meters from the villa. It has 5 bedrooms and sleeps 10. Villa Le Edicole This is a perfect home base if you’re interested in seeing the UNESCO baroque villages of Syracuse, Noto and Scicli, as well as the Vendicari Nature Reserve. It has a private pool and furnished solarium, 5 bedrooms, sleeps 11, and is just 7 miles from gorgeous white sand beaches. My week of Sicilian sun, food, and yes – falling in love – actually triggered my move back to Italy three months later. This year we rented an owners direct in Italy in our first week before settling in some villa. Some of the warmest and most welcoming Italians live in Sicily. They are humble and generous, and they are so proud of their island. They want you love it as much as they do, and after your vacation I bet you will.
