Villa Zaffiro Italy

Contemporary Villa Zaffiro is surrounded by tree-dotted land, with the beaches of Sicily’s east coast just a short drive away. This spacious villa is an ideal base for exploring the region’s ancient history and picture-postcard beaches.
Five-bedroom Villa Zaffiro offers a series of luxurious rooms that boast modern technology, style and quality. Large windows and walls lined with glass doors give clear views over the surrounding land and soaring hills. The interior is white and fresh throughout, with modern furniture and artwork adding colour and personality.
The two-floor layout of the villa is perfect for separate groups holidaying together. Each floor has its own lounge, dining space, kitchen and outside area, with the views from the first-floor terrace peaceful and sweeping. The ground-floor garden features terraces for al-fresco drinks and dinners, with a large swimming pool set within its immaculate, tree-studded lawns.
Every one of the five bedrooms feels light and soothing, with most also having a en-suite bathroom with shower. Especially sumptuous is the master bedroom with in-room Jacuzzi-bath, large flat screen TV and doors that open straight onto the pool terrace.
As if the villa didn’t feel exclusive enough, there’s also a wellness area with sauna and treadmill. Work up a sweat before cooling off in the shower or with a refreshing dip in the pool.
