• Suite 7: double bed (180x200cm), en-suite shower room

Bedroom 2, 5 and 6 have an additional single bed (80x200cm) in their living areas, meaning that these rooms can be prepared as twin rooms on request provided the group size does not exceed the maximum occupancy of the villa.

Reduced Occupancy

During the shoulder seasons, Sighilli has a reduced price for a group of up to 8 that only need up to 4 suites. The suites not required will be closed, but the rest of the villa, its amenities and its grounds will remain at the complete disposal of guests. Should you book the reduced occupancy, the main house suites will be prepared for you.

Inside

accommodation at Sighilli is spread over the main house and a guesthouse.

Much of the ground floor in the main house is given over to the sumptuously furnished living areas, which include a large conservatory overlooking and accessing, via enormous sliding glass doors, the dreamy pool area. To one side of the living areas is the large, convivial indoor dining room, served by a well-equipped kitchen. Decorations, fittings and furnishings throughout are a combination of the opulent and the exotic, an eclectic mix of Moroccan mother-of-pearl inlayed objets d'art, Chinese porcelain, original oil masters, deep, cushion-laden sofas, and enveloping, oversized armchairs.

The ground floor is also home to three of the main house's four suites, each of which has its own "hammamesque" en-suite bathroom:

• the first, a double, offers an in-bedroom sunken Jacuzzi bath, a walk-through rain forest shower room, a separate WC and access to the gardens via sliding glass doors;
• the second and third suites both comprise a double bedroom, a sitting area, a bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and separate shower, and large sliding glass windows accessing the surrounding gardens.

The fourth suite in the main house - the principal suite - is situated on the first floor and accessed via an external staircase and a terrace. On entering this bedroom, one's eye is immediately drawn to the floor-to-ceiling, wall-length sliding glass doors that lead out to a private terrace with stunning views over the surrounding vineyards, the salt lakes and out to sea. Apart from its impressive bed, the principal suite is furnished with sofas from which to watch TV or gaze out at the views (you'll probably end up doing the latter!). Its en-suite bathroom, which would make an Ottoman Emperor proud, includes a Jacuzzi tub, a separate walk-in shower and a Turkish bath.

The guesthouse, which is about 150m from the main house, is simpler in style but equally comfortable and welcoming. There is a large living area opening out onto a shaded panoramic terrace surrounded by the vineyard, and a practical kitchen.

The ground floor is also home to two of the spacious double bedrooms, each of which features a day bed and an en-suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower.

The master bedroom, which is accessed via a spiral staircase from the living area, has a four poster bed, comfy sofas from which to watch TV or enjoy the views, and a very large, top-spec bathroom with walk-in shower.

Outside

the main gate opens onto a long palm-lined drive that leads towards the house. Once parked, the final approach passes under a pergola avenue of fragrant Mediterranean climbers.

Lawned gardens, planted with numerous varieties of trees, shrubs and flowers fan out around the property on three sides, eventually giving way to the wilder nature of the reserve, a vineyard and other cultivated land. The gardens offer numerous spots of sitting, reclining, gazing out to sea, dining, chatting and playing games (including table tennis and table football).

The main house opens out on to a gorgeous, decked terrace with irresistible pool and plenty of space for soaking up the sun and taking in the hypnotic views. To the left of the pool, immersed in the gardens, is a large pergola with dining table, while to the right, the decking continues almost like a boardwalk down to a large sail-shaded outdoor living area and a second dining area. Beautifully illuminated at night, this is a magical spot for long convivial dinners and nightcaps under the moon and stars.

The guesthouse has its own large furnished terrace.

This property is surrounded by countryside, some of which is unfenced and may include drops or steep slopes. We therefore recommend that younger children are supervised by an adult when exploring the grounds.
