Six Sicilian Villas to Suit Every Taste

The largest island in the Mediterranean and unquestionably one of the most beautiful places in the whole of Italy (which is saying something!), no wonder more of us are choosing Sicily for a villa vacation. 

From charming fishing villages, beautiful baroque towns, delicious food and drink, diverse landscapes from vineyards to volcanoes and of course a rich history and unique heritage there’s something for everyone across the Strait of Messina. 

The same can be said for accommodation options. Although resorts and hotels in Sicily are notoriously upmarket, a self-catered villa holiday ensures the most flexible, authentic, convenient and when comparing price-per-person-per-night, cost effective accommodation option, too. 

Here we’ve shortlisted some of our Sicilian villas to suit every taste, group size and budget, from countryside escapes to beach front hot spots.
Which villa is right for you?

Best for luxury

Villa Taormina Greta, sleeps 10 in 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms

If you’re wanting to push the boat out and enjoy contemporary luxury near one of Sicily’s most famous celebrity hang outs, look no further. Bright, light and modern, this open plan property is set over two levels surrounded by lush lawns with a large pool as the centrepiece.  The master bedroom suite and wellness area complete with sauna and treadmill add an extra slice of luxury! Taormina’s historic centre and beaches are just a few minutes’ drive away.

Best for large groups 

Corte Moscata, Rosolini, sleeps 10 in 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms

Located within the beautiful Noto Valley, this recently built villa has been sympathetically designed to blend in with the landscape which surrounds it. Nestled in extensive grounds and enveloped by native olive and carob trees, families will enjoy total privacy, peace and quiet. Ideally for large groups or big families there are numerous outdoor and indoor seating areas to choose from, to gather to enjoy communal meals, or for everyone to have their own quiet time.  

Best for beach lovers

Noto Beach Villa, Noto, sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms

The clue is in the name when it comes to this villa’s location to the sea, with the property’s sea view terrace literally abutting the beach. This pretty ground floor villa has spacious open plan living, not that you’ll spend much time indoors. When not looking at or sunbathing on this golden crescent of sand, there’s a walled garden for a more private experience. 

Best for budget  

Apartment Torre Archirafi, Riposto, sleeps 5 in 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms

Sicily may have more than its fair share of exclusive resorts and upmarket retreats, but you can still enjoy the stunning beaches, beautiful landscapes and historic towns on a budget. Take this delightful first floor apartment, with views of both the Ionian Sea and Mt Etna, available from under €200 per night!  Located on the edge of a small, quiet fishing village, there’s access to a rocky beach and swimming platform from the garden. Bellissima!  

Best for countryside 

Colle Verde, Noto, sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms

Endless vistas and panoramic views across the beautiful Sicilian countryside and Noto valley are one of the main draws of this family friendly rural villa.  Located in a slightly elevated position means the scenery is an uninterrupted patchwork of olive groves, carob trees and fields, from both the villa and its pool terrace set to the left of the property.  If you’re looking for total relaxation, peace and quiet, this modern, comfortable and well-appointed property hits the spot.
