Trips away are meant to special. They're meant to give you the opportunity to stay in wonderfully unique homes. This villa is exactly that! Feel like you're the owner of a small pink castle floating above the Sicily landscape here. With views for miles and an electric pink exterior that will make the home sing in the Mediterranean sunlight, you'll feel like you've stumbled upon a slice of paradise in the south of Sicily. Whoever stays in the master bedroom will adore flinging open the doors and immersing themselves in views of the Syracuse landscape while relaxing on the bed. But it's the balcony area that we're sure everyone will be enjoying. Whether you're admiring the coast or the sunset, you'll find it hard not to feel amazed here. Located just outside of Syracuse, this home offers you a brilliant, quiet location in the stunning Plemmirio Nature Reserve. Within a five-minute walk, you'll be able to discover various beach coves – there are thirty-two beaches in this area alone. Enjoy beach days out with the family before heading back to your pink castle to rustle up a hearty family meal followed by limoncellos on the balcony for the adults. Seeing as you'll only be a twenty-minute drive from Syracuse, you should definitely make the trip there to wander the city's picturesque streets and discover ancient Greek architecture. Syracuse is the pinnacle of Sicily's cultural charm.
