Overview
A stunning newly-built villa with amazing panoramic sea views on the south coast of Sicily. Guests at Erakle can enjoy a comfortable and picture-perfect holiday, taking in the wonderful views and sea breezes, as well as all the modern comforts the villa has! The villa is close to a beautiful and usually uncrowded beach. Choose from lounging by the pool or hitting the beach. Or do both!
Property
Outside: Erakle has a stunning outdoor setting and lots of space to enjoy living the al fresco Sicilian life. The pool area is a highlight, with incredible 180° views of the pretty countryside out to sea. Around the pool you can relax on sunloungers - there's even two double sunbeds for extra comfort! Closer to the villa there's a decking area with a hammock (ideal for complete relaxation), and a lovely outdoor dining table. A ping pong table is present for fun competitive moments. A comfortable seating area is under the shade of the veranda. There's also a barbecue for cooking delicious meals together!
Inside: The villa is set over three floors - all with comfortable modern furnishings and great style. Walk into the living area: to the right there is a small seating area with a fireplace and picture windows with sea views. In front of you is a wonderful dining area, with french door overlooking the pool and out towards the sea. The kitchen is slightly raised above this area, and is completely modern and fully equipped. Two double bedrooms are found on this floor. One has its own ensuite bathroom with shower, whilst the other has sea views and has a bathroom with shower just next door.
Take the steps downstairs to the lower ground floor where you will find a comfy living area with TV, a fitness area and a laundry room. There are two further bedrooms: one double bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower, and one twin bedroom (convertible) with a bathroom with a shower next door. Please note that these rooms do not have conventional windows, but a window in the ceiling offering light and air.
There is a separate suite on the villa's first floor. Access is only via an external staircase found near the main entrance. This suite has a small kitchenette, a bathroom with a shower and a double bedroom.
