With access to your own private rocky beach and far away views of the Tyrrhenian, this luxury villa along Sicily’s northern coast is a great escape, where the sounds and scent of the sea flow through. Redesigned by Milanese architects, we like the pared down aesthetics, the vintage tile and furnishings and the understated sense of refinement.

Summer availability: from 8th to 29th of June from 6th to 13th of July from 27th of July to 17th of August from 5th of September.
Description
This luxury villa in Sicily is huddled just above the shoreline along the island’s northern coast in Cefalu, with panoramic views of the sea and the medieval town.
Redesigned by Milanese architects who have restored several historic homes on the island, the older villa’s interiors and exteriors have been streamlined with a subtle modern make-over that feels both timeless and contemporary.
The two storey home’s main living room is an airy and relaxing space with comfortable low lying vintage furnishings, striking geometric tile, a central fireplace and a dramatic free floating stair. The spaces overlook the terrace with breathtaking views out to sea. There’s a fully equipped kitchen and dining space and four en suite double bedrooms upstairs with room for up to eight guests.
The covered outdoor terrace is the spot to relax among the colorful gardens and olive groves with the sounds and scents of the sea and direct access to a private beach below.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Housekeeping every three days (optional daily housekeeping with fee), optional chef on request, Wifi throughout, satellite cable TV, laundry facilities.
AROUND
The popular resort town of Cefalù sits along Sicily’s northern coast a little more than an hour east of Palermo. A UNESCO designated town and historic fishing harbor, the pretty medieval streets are dominated by a 12th century Norman cathedral and an ancient hilltop fortress. Charming and authentic, it’s known for its excellent restaurants that serve local seafood and wines and its many interesting shops. The beautiful town of Santo Stefano di Camastra, famous for its ceramics and tiles is within a short drive and the rugged Madonie mountains are just over an hour drive inland with great hiking and forest trails and several medieval villages to explore. Two of the island’s best north shore beaches, Mazzaforno and Settefrati are within a ten minute walk. For day trips, you can venture even further to the seven Aeolian islands, the volcanic chain just off shore. Sicily holds many natural and cultural charms, from Noto to Catania, the sister cities of Ragusa, Modica Scicli and beyond, the island is meant to be explored and savored.

Really charming house with a nice stile of 60 ties architecture, big terrace with stunning view an the sound of the waves.
And perfect service with food for the first evening.
