With sea views and direct access to Calabernardo Beach, this perfectly positioned villa is an idyllic Sicilian getaway. Designed with indoor-outdoor living in mind, there’s a delightfully cool open-plan living and dining room that gives way to a covered terrace – it was our favourite spot to take coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening, accompanied by long, languid dinners with the sound of the waves in the background. This home makes the most of the glorious sunlight with whitewashed walls, while the colourful pieces of furniture, bold art inspired by the coastal location, and a seafoam green terrazzo floor in the kitchen add a touch of playfulness. After admiring Baroque architecture and tucking into impeccable seafood in the city of Noto, a fifteen-minute drive away, return to your garden – it makes for the most peaceful spot to indulge in a cat nap. What are holidays for if not surreptitious sleeps in the sunshine, after all?
