Outdoors: The front terrace enjoys beautiful views encompassing the sandy beach, the marina, the lighthouse and the imposing Monaco Mount. This lovely area is surrounded by colourful flowers and plant pots and is the ideal place for sunbathing or relaxing with a book lying on comfy sunloungers. The large dual level back terrace is covered with a trellis of Mediterranean climbing plants and is the best spot to partake of unforgettable al fresco meals grilled on the large built-in barbecue. The upstairs bedrooms also lead out onto terraces: the one at the front of the villa enjoys fabulous sea views while the one at the back is screened off and tiled with an Arab-style influence.

Surrounding area: In the vicinity of the villa is the colourful port where you can hire boats as well as a sailing club and a diving school. Food lovers will be more than happy with the many excellent restaurants, trattorias and pizzerias on offer in San Vito Lo Capo. Why not try the couscous for which the town is famous. Many of the cafe-lined streets are pedestrianised and the pretty main square with its old fortified church is a lovely spot to enjoy an ice-cream. Also on the doorstep is the enchantingly unspoilt Zingaro Nature Reserve and day excursions by car are possible to the impressively intact temple at Segesta and the medieval hilltop town of Erice.

Italian Islands Insight: Villa al Mare is the perfect destination for a beach holiday but is also ideal for those who want to combine sunbathing with sightseeing, as there is a lot to be explored in the surrounding area. It is because of the many sightseeing opportunities nearby that we recommend car hire to truly get the most out of your Sicilian experience but this is one of the few properties in our collection where it is not essential since all the local amenities are within walking distance. This elegant villa is furnished to a high standard both inside and outside and will ensure that you have a relaxing break. Given its large size, it would suit a group of friends or two families holidaying together.
