Description Sicilian Marvel: Bagheria

Designed as a personal summer residence by a celebrated architect in the 1980s, this villa overlooking the Capo Zaferrano really is one of a kind. Impressed in the bluff and spread across three floors, guests enter this home at the upper level and move downwards towards to the sea. While the structure is immensely stylish on the inside – boasting five bedrooms, a kitchen leading out to a balcony, and imported designer furniture across its bright living and dining area – it's the villa's outdoor spaces that really shine. You can admire the promontory and watch the sun set from different levels, sunbathe on the rocks, and should you somehow feel like a change of scene, the lively city of Palermo is half an hour along the coast.

Home truths:
*Two of this home's bedrooms and its three bathrooms aren't photographed. You can expect their style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*For those with reduced mobility, there's an upper level bedroom and bathroom here on the same floor as the entrance.
