With a gorgeous pool, hot tub and seafront location, Lisa\u2019s hoping for a relaxing break, with al fresco meals on the terrace and swimming in the clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. There\u2019s even a private area set up on the beach with parasols and sun beds, for exclusive use by the villa\u2019s guests.<\/p>\n

The Beach Club Costa Turchina, which has a restaurant and lounge bar, is a great new addition to the area and just a short walk from the villa. The Beach Club also offers scooter, electric bike and boat rental.\u00a0 Alternatively, there are shops and restaurants within walking distance at Finale Pollina town, allowing everyone to come and go as they please. And with Finale di Pollina station also being close by, leaving the car behind and hopping on the small electric train which connects several of the towns along Sicily\u2019s north coast is a good option when you want to explore car-free.<\/p>\n
