Celestial View

Don't be fooled by the stripped-back interiors at this Sicily villa – there are more than enough enchanting sights outside. The patio basks in the island sunshine, and from the infinity pool, you'll enjoy views down the green slopes of Etna to the Mediterranean. Tropical plants and orange trees fill the gardens, offering a peaceful setting for alfresco meals under the pergola. The minimal design might pale a little in comparison with the verdure outside, but the antique furnishings have their own charm – we bet the piano and air hockey table will get plenty of use. Halfway between Catania and Taormina, this home also offers plenty of options for day trips.
