Brand new getaway with breathtaking sea view

Sciacca is a working fishing town on Sicily’s south-west coast, built up a slope above its harbour, known for thermal springs used since antiquity and for a ceramics tradition still visible in the tiled staircases around the old town. It sits within reach of the Greek temples at Selinunte and Agrigento, and sees a fraction of the visitors of the east coast. This is a recently built two-bedroom for four with a sea view, a terrace, parking, air conditioning, a washer and a workspace. At $240 it is at the top of our Sicilian range, and the newness — everything working, nothing improvised — is part of what that buys.
