Neptune's Lullaby

Every room of the villa has views of the glittering Tyrrhenian Sea. So fling open the bedroom door, take in the sea air, cool down in the plunge pool, and barbecue out on the reclaimed railway sleeper deck. The open-plan interior boasts a clean and uncluttered aesthetic that leaves the views front and centre, courtesy of floor-to-ceiling windows and doors. The villa is a five-minute drive from Nunziatina Beach, or you can access the coast along a steep, country path. Twelve kilometres west, you'll find the coastal city of Cefalù. With its golden sandy beach, captivating medieval streets, and restaurants that will feed your stomach and soul – the city has it all. Be sure not to miss out on cultural gems such as the Mandralisca Museum and Il Duomo, an imposing twelfth-century cathedral.
