Deep Blue

Fall for this idyllic, sea-facing Sicilian villa, in a spectacular location just 150m from the gorgeous beach of Cala Mazzo di Sciacca. Whether you love a lazy day relaxing by the pool or a fun-filled adventure to the beach, this home is perfectly suited. Sip piña coladas in the shade of the swaying palms, enjoy a gentle bob in the crystal-clear pool water, and when lunchtime arrives head to the delightful terrace for an alfresco meal overlooking the changing moods of the ocean.

Inside, the villa is just as dreamy. Stepping through, you'll love the sea-inspired interiors, vibrant blue colour palette and nautical artwork that serves as a constant reminder of your stunning surroundings and picturesque views. Fling open the double doors, inviting the sea breeze to sweep right inside the wonderfully open living space, kitchen and dining area, as you tuck into a home-cooked breakfast.

If you can peel yourself away from this little pocket of paradise, the charming village of Scopello is well worth a visit and lies just ten minutes away from the villa on foot. Further afield (2km), you can also find Zingaro nature reserve and its pristine white-sand cove.
