New villas with summer holiday availability!<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re slightly late off the mark and still looking for a summer holiday villa, the good news is that we\u2019ve added two new family villas to our portfolio, both with excellent availability and<\/u> an introductory 20% discount.<\/p>\n

Walking and natural attractions in Sicily<\/h3>\n

Both villas are near to two of Sicily\u2019s most striking natural sites which got us thinking about our favourite walks in Sicily. While there are some challenging hikes to choose from in Sicily, you don\u2019t need to be a fanatical hiker for the best experience. Take a short stroll in early summer when hillsides and nature reserves are sprinkled with the last remnants of spring flowers; or an autumn amble through flame-coloured landscapes. Here\u2019s a snapshot of our favourite walking spots in Sicily:<\/p>\n

Necropoli di Pantalica<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take a walk through the lush Anapo Valley and marvel at the 5,000 burial chambers hewn from the rock at the Necropoli di Pantalica. Stay at Villa Rebecca, a brand new 4-bedroom villa with private pool.<\/p>\n

Foce del Belice nature reserve <\/strong><\/p>\n

More suited to a gentle stroll than a serious hike, but nevertheless a great spot for getting in touch with nature. Stretching for 3km between Selinunte and Porto Palo, the Foce del Belice coastal nature reserve boasts a series of secluded coves and powder-soft sand, against a backdrop of pinewoods crisscrossed by boardwalk paths. Stay at Casa Maoma, a 3-bedroom villa with private pool, set amidst the Menfi vineyards.<\/p>\n

Madonie National Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

Renowned for their hilltop villages and idyllic landscapes, and offering well-marked trails and hiking routes, the Madonie mountains are one of Sicily\u2019s most popular walking locations.\u00a0 Stay at Casa Turi, a restored country home with a superb pool, with views of the mountains and the sea.<\/p>\n
