The details
Perched in a privileged position directly above the shimmering waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, this extraordinary villa on the Mongerbino coast is a rare Sicilian treasure. Here, bold modernist architecture meets the drama of untouched Mediterranean nature, offering guests a stay defined by privacy, beauty and pure coastal serenity. Designed by architect Armando Barraja and set within 3000 square metres of fragrant vegetation, this is a place where the sea feels close enough to touch and tranquillity washes over you the moment you arrive.
The villa’s design is a masterpiece of clean lines and sculptural elegance, blending influences from Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto and Carlo Scarpa with subtle nautical touches that echo the spirit of a ship poised above the waves. Huge windows frame hypnotic views of Cape Zafferano and the ever-changing blues of the sea, while semi-circular terraces curve outward to drink in the panorama. Every stay here feels deeply immersive — as if nature and architecture are in constant conversation.
Inside, the main level unfolds as a bright open space that flows effortlessly from the entrance hall to the dining room and the living area with a fireplace. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms offer comfort and calm, while the sleek modern kitchen is equipped with everything you need for slow dinners or lively family meals. Step outside onto the covered terrace for long alfresco evenings where the sea breeze mingles with the scent of olive trees and pines. A second outdoor area with a barbecue invites lazy lunches beneath the Sicilian sun.
Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms each come with their own bathroom, styled with high-quality materials that elevate the villa’s refined modern feel. The lower level features a self-contained apartment with its own bedroom, single bed, bathroom, kitchen and lounge — perfect for grandparents, friends or those seeking extra privacy. From here, a small terrace with an outdoor shower leads to the villa’s most extraordinary feature: a private 30-metre path descending directly to your own rocky cove, where the water is crystal-clear and blissfully secluded.
Just 30km from Palermo, this architectural gem offers guests the chance to experience Sicily at its most magical. Explore the colourful fishing villages of Aspra and Porticello, wander through Bagheria’s eccentric Baroque villas or simply spend long, golden days swimming, sunbathing and savouring the slow rhythms of the island.
