Location:

The one-hectare estate straddles cragged sea cliffs near Plemmirio, a picturesque nature reserve by the Sicilian town of Syracuse.

Plemmirio is famous for its spectacular sea cliffs, which you’ll see from your front lawn—the villa even has its own private rock pool. An expansive Mediterranean garden chock full of palm trees and leafy plants completes the scene.

A slew of historic Sicilian towns lies within easy reach, including the UNESCO-listed Syracuse, Marzamemi, Noto, Modica, and Catania. Nature lovers can explore the gorgeous gorges of the Cavagrande Nature Reserve.

Getting to the villa from the Catania Airport will take about one hour.

Property:

Spread over two storeys, the 300m2 four-bedroom property has been painted entirely in white. Light blue resin floors and vibrant contemporary artworks complement the ultramodern colour theme.

Four well-adorned bedrooms feature tall ceilings and seamlessly integrated en-suite bathrooms. Some have floor-to-ceiling windows to savour the splendid ocean view. One bedroom resides in a separate guesthouse with direct access to the pool.

In the stylish open-plan living room, comfy sofas and a crackling fireplace afford cosy days indoors. The space connects to a fully-equipped kitchen and dining room with a rustic eight-seat table.

Pool & Facilities:

The main living space connects directly to the outdoor patio, where you can plunge into two spectacular infinity pools.

The smaller, freeform pool is heated in the cooler months, while the longer, arched infinity pool lets you swim a lap around the entire villa. A separate natural rock pool gives you a soothing, saltwater spot to soak.

If you’re feeling energetic, grab your racquet and hit the private on-site tennis court.

Beach Info:

Simply step outside if you fancy a swim in the sea—it’s a waterfront villa, after all. Alternatively, a string of sandy beaches lie within easy reach.
