Garden favourites: our top 8 villas with beautiful gardens<\/h1>\n

Part of the joy of a summer holiday in Sicily is spending most of your day and evening outside.<\/strong> We can\u2019t think of anything that beats the simple pleasure of the first coffee of the day surrounded by the scent of Mediterranean blooms or lazy afternoons in the shade of palm trees. The fact is that when you take a villa holiday in Sicily<\/a>, the garden can be almost as important as the villa itself \u2013 after all, the chances are that you\u2019ll spend most of your time out there.<\/p>\n

But, of course, there\u2019s no such thing as one size fits all. If you\u2019re a couple, or a group of adults, your dream garden will be very different to that of a family with 3 children under 10! These are just some of our favourite gardens in our collection, each with something that makes them quite special.<\/p>\n

Gemma, Ispica<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t expect to be bowled over by lush planting and brilliant displays of flowers at Gemma<\/a>. Instead, there are patios galore, plenty of poolside lounge and dining spots, and cooking facilities guaranteed to wow. An external kitchen annex houses a pizza oven and full cooking facilities, and the barbecue has its own fabulous food preparation area. Add to that the pool with diving board and trampoline \u2013 a sure fire way to keep younger members of the party happy.<\/p>\n

Casa dei Sogni, Acireale<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Another favourite with families is Casa dei Sogni<\/a>, a stylish villa on Sicily\u2019s east coast that is perfect for larger groups. We love the colourful outdoor dining table and the sea views from the covered outdoor lounge, but you can be sure of getting the seal of approval from the kids once they spot the outdoor play area \u2013 a shady, secluded spot with a play house, slide, trampoline, rope ladders and swings.<\/p>\n

Casa Ulisse, Ispica<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve got kids who need space to let off steam, this one\u2019s for you. Set on Sicily\u2019s sun-drenched most south easterly point, all that stands between Casa Ulisse<\/a> and a glorious sandy beach are endless palm tree dotted lawns. There\u2019s plenty of places for dining al fresco, sun loungers, and an outdoor kitchen with wood fired pizza oven.<\/p>\n
