New villas include:
Villa Liberty – designer Liberty style villa with steps to the sea
Maravigghia – stylish modern villa; seafront garden with firepit and 2 hot tubs
Villa Panarea – deluxe contemporary villa with pool, jacuzzi and spa
Olivia – budget family villa with pool in a rural setting near northern Sicily's beaches
Lumia – large group celebration villa for 20

Liberty style elegance
With original Liberty-style features and a lush Mediterranean garden leading directly to the sea, Villa Liberty is a must for anyone with a passion for art and design. Antique furniture fills the lofty open plan living space and two bedrooms while outside, magnificent arches frame views from the exquisite cream and terracotta hued terrace towards the sea.

Local highlights include Sicily's leading archaeological site, the Valley of the Temples, and the soft sand and shallow waters at San Leone beach or the wilder and more secluded beach at the Torre Salsa nature reserve. Seven nights at Villa Liberty from £1825 (sleeps 5) with www.wishsicily.com.

Hot tubs, firepit and steps to the sea
Maravigghia is a stylish new 3-bedroom villa with a huge seafront garden. Outside, at the end of sweeping lawns dotted with recliners, squishy sofas and a shaded patio for al fresco dining, is a sea-facing terrace with a firepit and two hot tubs, and beyond that, steps straight into the crystal clear water. Inside, the super modern kitchen and three ensuite bedrooms are accessed from the expansive living room, filled with contemporary furniture and modern art.

The local beaches at Marina di Avola and the Vendicari Nature Reserve have superb white sand and translucent water. Nearby cultural highlights include the baroque treasures of southeast Sicily: the nearest town is Avola (the historical heartland of Nero d'Avola wine production), with Noto and Syracuse close by. Seven nights at Maravigghia for 6 people from £2243 with www.wishsicily.com.

Luxury retreat with spa, jacuzzi and infinity pool
Enjoy super luxury without the hefty price tag at Villa Panarea. The villa overlooks a vast garden with a 15m saltwater pool, jacuzzi, shaded terraces and extensive lawns as well as a fully equipped covered outdoor kitchen (pizza oven, hob, barbecue and fridge freezer). The pristine white interiors are equally spacious, with art-covered walls and a massive open plan light-filled living room with elegant contemporary furniture. The villa has three double ensuite bedrooms and a private spa with steam room.

Hop across to the Aeolian Islands from nearby Milazzo or head into the Nebrodi mountain for hikes and visits to pretty hilltop villages. Seven nights at Villa Panarea from £2645 (sleeps 8) with www.wishsicily.com.

Budget family villa close to the beach
Escape to the olive groves and gently undulating hills of north Sicily and enjoy a relaxing holiday in an area relatively untouched by tourism despite its convenient proximity to Palermo airport. Olivia is a 3-bedroom family villa with striking modern interiors and outside, a large raised terrace overlooking a lovely decked pool area.

Private access for villa guests to a nearby beach, with parking, takes the stress out of family beach days. Other family-fun activities include street food tours in Palermo and guided quad excursions in the rugged terrain close to Cefalù. Seven nights at Olivia from £1917 (sleeps 8) with www.wishsicily.com.

Large group villa in south east Sicily
With an 18m pool, 10 ensuite bedrooms and a master suite with its own living room and panoramic roof terrace, there won't be any squabbling at Lumia about sharing bathrooms or feeling cramped. A huge covered terrace, fully furnished with a large dining table and comfy lounge seating, provides indoor/outdoor space thanks to its wall of fully retractable French windows, and stunning views across dry stone-walled fields and rolling hills towards the sea. Guests at Lumia can also book cooking and yoga classes, escorted cultural tours and private chef services with Wish Sicily.

The villa is ideally located for exploring the baroque towns of Ragusa, Scicli and Modica or enjoying lazy days on a selection of gorgeous beaches, including Punta Secca, home to the iconic beachfront house used as the home of fictional detective, Montalbano. Seven nights at Lumia from £7066 (sleeps 20) with www.wishsicily.com.
