Villas out of the ordinary

Villa Tasca

     Villa Tasca in Palermo, Sicily.


Variety is the spice of life, so the old saying goes, and we couldn’t agree more. The range and diversity of our exclusive villas is such that there is something to satisfy all tastes and requirements. Each one has its own particular brand of charm, atmosphere, history, style and architecture. And while they all have a vast array of facilities, a few have a totally unique amenity or feature. This page is dedicated to some of them. No matter what you’re after, one of our villas will have it. Find out more below.

Rocca delle Tre Contrade

Anyone for tennis?

Rocca delle Tre Contrade is one of our very top villas and boasts not only a fabulous 25m-long L-shaped infinity pool, a gym and a Hammam, but also, uniquely, a splendid tennis court with views of Mount Etna.

Fichimori

A trullo spa

Fichimori oozes pampering charm. Its outdoor kitchen, terraces and lawn-enveloped pool are a treat in themselves, but guests who really love a little indulgence will head for the trulli spa, comprising a Jacuzzi and a Turkish bath.

Masseria Cacatosto

From zero gravity to golf

Gazing out at the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea, Masseria Cacatosto has been designed with both spiritual and sporty pursuits in mind. Its Zen-inspired zero gravity swing is the perfect way to prepare for a “round” on your very own chipping green.

Trulli Andrea

When only two pools will do

With its two fabulous houses, Trulli Andrea is a great option for two families travelling together or for an extended group of family and friends. Uniquely, there are two pools: one, you may decide, for peaceful lounging, the other for fun and games.

Al Olivar & Ondine

A haven for water sports

The twin villas Al Olivar and Ondine occupy a fabulous spot on one of Meganissi’s many delightful coves. A few steps through the gardens take one down to their private sea access, equipped with a jetty, Topper sailboats and kayaks.

Zu Nillu

A Roman quarry for a garden

Everything about Zu Nillu is unique, particularly its views and access to Cala Rossa, Favignana’s most breathtaking bay, and its sunken garden and pool, which are housed in an ancient Roman quarry! Then there’s the al fresco bathroom…

Villa Tasca

A unique musical affinity

Few villas have a guest book like that of Villa Tasca, whose sumptuous surroundings have seen come and go such musical luminaries as Wagner (who completed Parsifal there), Verdi, Paganini, Arthur Rubinstein, Benedetti Michelangeli and Claudio Abbado.

A three-tiered pool

Swimming pool design has become an architectural field in itself, and nowhere is this more in evidence than at Cala d’Istria, whose triple-tiered, cobalt infinity pool hangs magically over the garden, stretching out towards the blue, blue sea.
