A fantastic stay in a stunning villa! The welcome was both highly professional and incredibly warm. The interaction with us and our children was excellent — we immediately felt at home. The villa is beautiful and fully equipped with everything we needed. We didn’t even feel like leaving, because it was simply perfect. There were games for the kids, as well as food and drinks already available. Everything exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this property and would love to come back again!

Family Villas in Sicily Near the Sea

Holiday Homes in South-East Sicily for Families with Children

Santa Maria del Focallo is one of the most popular seaside destinations in south-eastern Sicily for travelers looking for family villas near the sea. Here you will find many IsulaTravel holiday homes, set in a peaceful environment just a short walk from sandy beaches and fully equipped beach clubs. Nearby, you’ll also find small supermarkets and essential services.

Every day you can wake up to the scent of the sea and choose whether to spend your time on the beach or relax by the pool with your family.

We had a wonderful experience as the first guests at Villa Vitarmi. The villa is new and stylish, not very large but extremely comfortable and equipped with everything needed for a perfect stay. The location is ideal: close to a beautiful beach, yet not directly on the main road, ensuring peace and quiet. The owners are incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive to guests. They helped us with everything, from a simple coffee to finding a doctor for our child. Highly recommended for families with children, couples, and groups of friends. We truly hope to return soon. Thank you, Alessandro and Maria.
