Recently built Villa La Palma is a beautiful, modern villa which enjoys an ideal setting on the south-east coast of Sicily. The nearest beach is around a 15-minute walk away while all along the glistening coastline you will find lovely seaside towns.
With its whitewashed walls and landscaped garden dotted with palm trees, this villa has a true Mediterranean look. Spend your days outside in the sunshine, cooling off in the saltwater pool, sunbathing on a deckchair and firing up the barbecue before enjoying an al-fresco meal on the terrace.
Step inside and you will find bright rooms decorated in a contemporary yet comfortable style. Glass doors featured throughout the villa let light flood in and once opened up create a divine indoor-outdoor living environment. There’s nothing better than waking up and opening your bedroom doors onto the terrace, allowing summer air and sunlight to trickle in as you relax in bed, or head straight out for a seat in the sunshine.
A 15-minute walk or short drive takes you to the closest resort town which features a handful of seasonal beach bars and restaurants as well as a long stretch of sandy beach. There are sun loungers and umbrellas available to hire and azure water for swimming in. A little closer to the villa there is also a rocky area with spots for diving into the sea.
Just 3km away is the seaside town of Marzamemi, which boasts scenic beaches as well as a busy little port from which various boat tours depart. Here you will also find a supermarket, some quality restaurants and an ice cream shop.
Other towns nearby include Randazzo, Linguaglossa and Piedimonte, while dotting the landscape in between them are dozens of vineyards, many of which offer tours and tasting sessions.
The beautiful Vendicari Nature Reserve, home to saltwater lagoons, sand dunes, rocky coves and a range of wildlife including flamingos and storks, is just 12km away.

Or if you prefer a golden, sandy beach, the closest one can be reached in around a 15-minute walk or a quick car journey. When you aren’t relaxing on a sun lounger or enjoying a refreshing swim, there are summer beach bars and restaurants serving local delights like Aperol Spritz and Spaghetti Vongole.
