Description Fontane & Fig: Fontane Bianche

Slide open the doors and you're straight out onto the pool terrace – that effortless indoor-to-outdoor connection is what this Sicilian villa does best. The private garden wraps around the pool with citrus trees and wild blooms, and a shaded terrace makes it easy to linger long after lunch. A sun-filled kitchen opens directly to the garden, so even cooking feels unhurried. When you're ready to move, the beach at Fontane Bianche is a short walk away – a sandy stretch that's especially popular with families.

Home truths:
* At full occupancy, four guests will share a bedroom sleeping in two bunk beds – this room is best suited to children.
* The swimming pool is only available for use between 1st April and 30th November.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.
