Where Lemons Grow

Where Lemons Grow: Sicily

Wake up to the sound of the Tyrrhenian Sea each morning from this sublime villa set in the bustling seaside resort of Capo d'Orlando. It even boasts direct access to the pebbly beach.

Glistening white from top to toe, and offering up next-level sea views from nearly every room, terrace and poolside, this place has got rest and reset written all over it. Outside, a year-round relaxation pool is prime for soaking up the rays in style. And through a charming white picket gate, there's the glorious beach with sunbeds and umbrellas at the ready for cooling dips.

Inside, across the cool herringbone stone floors, discover four bedrooms, each as spacious and light-filled as the next, and each offering en-suites for a little extra privacy. And did we mention there's a spa with a Jacuzzi, sauna and a chromotherapy shower that leads out onto a sun terrace where you can drip-dry beneath the Sicilian sun? Now we're talking.

If you can ever be lured away from this seaside haven, there's a bevy of chic waterside eateries and bars within easy reach in pretty Capo d'Orlando. Just be sure to make it home for sunset – the vistas from your private terrace are hard to beat.
