About the property
Inside
the indoor living area is all arranged on one floor and communicates seamlessly with the numerous, elegant, covered terraces outside.The front door takes you into the main living area, with a little TV corner and a sitting area with comfortable sofas overlooking the sea. There is a big fireplace for the cooler months and large French windows leading outside.
To the left is the indoor dining room and the lovely (smallish) kitchen, both of which have access to the terrace and to the outdoor dining areas.
On the other side of the living room, a couple of steps lead up, past a guest WC, to the sleeping quarters, which comprise three comfortable bedrooms: a bedroom with French windows, sea views and an en-suite shower room; a double-twin with en-suite shower room; and a second double bedroom with en-suite shower room and French windows leading out to the beautiful lawned gardens.
Outside
after passing through the gates, you enter the beautiful lawned gardens and catch your first glimpse of the elegant stone villa with its arched portico. The grounds surrounding the house are home to numerous shaded, breakfast and dining areas, each one suitable for a different time of day. There is even a sheltered dining alcove which is perfect for a game of cards or scrabble on a cooler night.On the other side of the house is the incredible seafront terrace, where you will probably spend most of your stay. To the left, outside the kitchen, is a large table under a shaded pergola and an outdoor kitchen with in-built barbecue, a couple of gas hobs and a sink. Just outside the living room, meanwhile, is an al fresco living area furnished with comfortable and stylish sun loungers and chairs for the aperitif hour.
Further along is the wonderful stone-built plunge pool with views of the bay of Brucoli and beautiful Mount Etna. Just behind the plunge pool is yet another shaded pergola.
A flight of steps lead down from the terrace to the slipway and on to the sea gate from which you can access a bathing platform and a jetty, lapped by the transparent waters of the Ionian Sea.
Last but not least is the underground garage, which houses a selection of canoes and kayaks for guests and direct access to the sea.
Some groups might like to know that there is a tennis court within a short walking distance which is a communal multi-sport area with artificial grass. Please let your Local Specialist know if you would like to arrange a session.

About the Area
Azzurra is situated on the coast just outside the little fishing village of Brucoli, with its shops, restaurants and bars. It is well-placed for visiting nearby Syracuse, Noto and the surrounding nature reserves such as Cassibile and Vendicari.
Slightly further afield, Taormina, Mount Etna and Ragusa are all good day trips, and a drive down to the southernmost tip of Sicily beyond Porto Palo di Capo Passero is highly recommended.
Considerations
You may also wish to know that the plunge pool has a single depth of 1.2m.
Please note that the sea access in front of this property can get busy in June, July and August. Getting into the sea is via rocks and so may not be possible to use if the sea is rough.
Boats moor in the bay, especially in the high season, and the seafront area is public and may be used by other people. The sunloungers and other equipment provided are for the exclusive use of guests staying at Azzurra, however.
Although this property is located within walking distance of some shops and restaurants, we strongly recommend that you hire a car.
Stray cats may be seen in the villa grounds; villa staff will discourage their presence and we advise all clients to do the same, however we cannot guarantee that they will stay away from outside furniture.

Azzurra is wonderful. Beautiful views and beautiful décor with multiple places to sit. It is perfect for a week relaxing in the sun if you are happy to just do that.

We stayed at Azzurra for a month. We have visited Sicily many times, mainly at the height of summer, and wanted to experience it in the winter when the island is quiet, green and easier to explore. We could not have asked for a more sublime house and location. Azzurra has a stunning, almost unreal view of Etna over crystal clear water. The house is extremely private but very convenient to both Brucoli and Augusta, and a short drive to Siracusa or Noto. We had many lovely walks to charming Brucoli for a coffee or lunch. Given our winter visit we were delighted to find Azzurra toasty warm and cozy, with fires set for us and a well-stocked kitchen and wine cellar. The décor is sophisticated yet homey with all of the modern conveniences and comfortable beds. We found this area of Sicily to be extremely interesting in the winter with endless things to do if you enjoy history, culture, food, art, beauty, nature and meeting great people who are not in a rush. It was certainly warm enough most days to sit at a café in the piazza with just jeans and a sweater. We are sure that Azzurra would also be wonderful in the summer, since it has well planned sun decks, easy access for swimming and a verdant, well-kept garden. The support we received from the house manager - including for all the unexpected things you need for a longer visit - was also above and beyond. Highly recommended.

The seaside location of Azzurra and the view of Mount Etna was truly spectacular Would we return? Yes, 1,000% we will return to this villa in the future. It is a very special place. Big shoutout to the groundskeeper and the cleaning team as well. They're keeping the place in tip-top shape.

Azzurra is heaven with a view.

Azzurra was on the sea, fabulous and comfortable. We love using The Thinking Traveller for travels in Italy and will continue to do so. The villas and service are exceptional.

Azzurra is a fabulous seaside retreat, perfect for complete relaxation. What stands out is the situation, the view, the proximity to the sea and the beautiful rear terrace - a winning combination.
Andrew Braithwaite, visited October 2024
Our stay at Azzurra was magnificent. It is the loveliest property I have stayed in, and I am very well traveled. Located on the coast, with awesome views, it is very apparent that this is a home, not just a rental property. It is a very private location, the approach does not prepare you for how exclusive this enclave is. In about 30 minutes you can be in some very busy towns, and then return to paradise. I would stay here again.
