Framed Views

Located in the coastal town Portopalo di Capopássero, this cliffside villa drops down to sparkling Ionian and sea-forming coves indicative of Siciliy’s southernmost point. With stretches of rocky garden and encumbering sea views, this peaceful spot has everything you need for a blissful break.

The elegance of this sea-grazing location is effortlessly mirrored in the architecture of this home – think linear lines, modern finishes and a white, Ispican stone exterior that gives a nod to the area’s traditional architectural style. Inside, the natural design aesthetic blends with your host’s eclectic artworks to create a laid-back yet vibrant energy that synchronises with the outside’s coastal spirit. The white sofas are a perfect spot to read or listen to a podcast – or head to the sleek kitchen to prepare a light lunch of fresh tomatoes and local burrata.

With prime Sicilian temperatures, it’s not surprising this home promotes outdoor living. Framed concepts are evident here, with an outdoor living room that frames the sea vistas, as well as a box-framed pool mounted in the landscape. Spend leisurely days lounging out on the sunbeds to catch the rays before cooling off in the crystalline waters.

You’ll have everything you need here, but if you’re feeling adventurous, then there's plenty to see and do nearby. Discover the powdered sands of Spiaggia Scalo Mandrie, or swim over to the Isola di Capopássero, where you’ll find pristine beaches and the 16th-century il Fort di Capopássero.
