Palms, Pools & Poker: Sicily

This sensational Sicilian home at the foot of the magnificent Mount Etna really does have it all. Featuring a stunning converted conservatory comprising a large, light-filled open-plan kitchen, living and dining area complete with entertainment and relaxation areas – this Italian idyll is perfect for socialising as well some well-deserved me-time. Surrounded by gorgeous gardens, magnificent mature trees and fabulous flowers, this heavenly home’s outdoor offering is simply spectacular.

You’ll love starting off the day with a set or two of tennis or lazing on loungers in the sun before cooling off with a refreshing dip in your private, outdoor pool. Come lunch time you’ll love getting your grill on and dining alfresco surrounded by nature. Spend the afternoon chilling out in the shady seating area, playing ping pong, foosball or reading under the gazebo by the pool. Those looking for some good old-fashioned R & R will love getting their sweat on in the sauna or luxuriating in the jacuzzi with a cold glass of Sicily’s finest. Prepare a feast for dinner around the marble topped kitchen island and feast altogether beneath the wood panelled ceiling in the diaphanously draped conservatory before hosting a sophisticated games night. Anyone for poker or billiards? Round off the day with a romantic rolltop bath in the master bedroom before hitting the hay.

If you can tear yourself away from such breath-taking bliss, why not take a trip up to Etna’s summit for panoramic views of Catania and out to sea? Alternatively visit one of the area’s many famous wineries.
