Sicilian Daze

Sicilian Daze: Sicily

This Marsala-based paradise has it all – a crystalline pool, wide-sweeping panoramic views and the Mediterranean Sea just ten minutes away. And that's before you even step inside. This impressive villa is a vision of Sicilian beauty, seamlessly bringing the natural beauty of its surrounding landscapes into its design.

This elegantly restored home has perfectly preserved its authentic simplicity. Step inside and be instantly embraced by its traditional charm – think original tiled floors, arched stone ceilings, marbled fireplaces and delicate sconces. The blend of heritage and contemporaneity here creates a luxurious sense of modernity. With a myriad of tall, french doors opening up to the outside, and vast ceiling heights, you’ve got plenty of light-filled space to unwind in should you need a repose from the Sicilian sun. Factor in the private balconies and terraces – ideal for enjoying mornings over espressos and sipping starlit sundowners – and you’ve got everything you need for a blissful retreat.

The outside is a picture of relaxation. With thoughtfully manicured gardens – including a border of olive trees and a floral trellis archway – this home’s landscape provides a delicate contrast against the rugged terrain of the area. Spend mornings lounging on the terrace shaded by the pergola, or float in the pristine pool. After a day of pure relaxation, enjoy an intimate alfresco dinner around the stone dining table and watch the sun sink behind the mountains.

Lido Boeo, with golden sands and shallow waters, is only a ten-minute drive when you’re craving an afternoon on the shoreline. Or, if a cultural excursion is on the cards, you can be in the Marsala city centre within ten minutes, where you’ll discover the ancient ruins, The Grignani Palace and Baglio Anselmi Archaeological Museum – don’t forget to sample a glass of Marsala wine in one of the many charming bars.
