A countryside villa in Sicily is one of the best ways to really immerse yourself in the peace and quiet of rural life. There are many villas to rent in extraordinary countryside locations that offer privacy and tranquility. The collection of villas in Sicily from Villatravellers has many holiday homes with quiet locations and traditional features that are the perfect base for a chilled-out holiday away from it all.

You’ll feel a million miles away from day-to-day life in your own personal oasis of peace and tranquility.
Get Back to Nature in Sicily
Relaxation is key for any holiday. It’s a time to unwind, have fun, and reconnect with yourself. In Sicily, you can surround yourself with incredible nature and feel at peace instantly. Visit Vendicari Nature reserve and enjoy spotless beaches. Take a hike through the Madonie Mountains or the Nebrodi Mountain range and be wowed by the beauty and the variety of flora and fauna. Walk along the coastal path of Lo Zingaro Nature Reserve and stop off at the various bays for a swim. Mount Etna’s unique landscape is unmissable; Europe’s largest and most-active volcano has an energy all of its own that has to be experienced to be believed. Outstanding natural beauty surrounds you, embraces you, inspires you.
Staying in rural Sicily lets you really get to know the authentic island atmosphere that Sicily is so well-known for.

No Stress, No Rush. Take your Time and Enjoy Sicily
The countryside’s pace of life is relaxed and carefree. A holiday in Sicily allows you to take time for yourself. Leisurely stroll through local markets and pick up fresh fruit and vegetables. The Nebrodi Mountain range is famous for its cured meats and cheeses, whilst the foothills of Mount Etna are world-renowned for their wine production.
