Sicilian Queen

Moments from the beach, this single-level villa ticks all the boxes when it comes to location. A short drive away is the fishing village of Marzamemi, while Noto and Syracuse are further afield and ideal for day trips. But, with the beach practically on your doorstep and fantastic sea vistas to marvel at back home, you won't have to travel far to experience Sicilian life. There's also a private swimming pool and terrace ideal for alfresco dining, but the real draw is the rooftop, where a bubbling Jacuzzi awaits. The practical interiors could be more impressive – and two guests will sleep on the sofa bed – but the area, views, and sun-kissed outdoor spaces make it a good choice.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot. This must be requested in advance. Children will need to be supervised at all times since the pool is unfenced.
*The rooftop Jacuzzi can be heated on request to 26ºC.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's free parking on the premises.
*This villa is situated in a small residential complex. The neighbouring homes are relatively close, so you may hear and see other guests while in the garden.
*This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful or charming space.
