With sweeping sea views from the home and its extensive garden, Villa Pilena is the perfect base for exploring south-east Sicily and the city of Syracuse. This contemporary, white-washed villa offers spacious accommodation for up to eight guests, with clean lines, floor-to-ceiling windows and high-end interiors oriented to make the most of the coastal setting. A soft white and light blue palette runs throughout, echoing the hues of the surrounding coastline.

On the ground floor, a well-equipped kitchen opens onto the garden and into a dining room seating eight, flowing through to a large living room with a fireplace and Smart TV. Two of the villa’s suites are set on the ground floor with direct garden access, king-sized beds and spacious ensuite bathrooms, while the master suite occupies the first floor with its own furnished balcony. A fourth suite, set in a private annexe with its own pergola, offers extra privacy for guests wanting distance from the main group.

Outside, a beautifully designed one-hectare garden wraps around two interconnected swimming pools overlooking the sea, alongside a full-sized tennis court, barbecue area and ping-pong table. Steps down from the garden lead to a rocky shoreline with a natural sea pool, while sandy beaches, including the beach club at Lido Varco, are just a short distance away. With the village of Plemmirio and the historic city of Syracuse both close by, Villa Pilena offers an experience shaped by nature, comfort and the timeless beauty of south-eastern Sicily.
