Four double bedrooms and a bunk room
Villa Tasso sleeps ten in four double bedrooms and one bunk room. We recommend the bunk room for children, making the layout a good choice for families sharing.
Cliff-top villa in Portopalo, South-East Sicily
Enjoy open views towards Capo Passero, swim in your private saltwater pool and stroll into Portopalo for dinner, with five bedrooms and a separate apartment for a holiday together.
The ExpertoItaly view
Wake to the rocky coast and the island of Capo Passero beyond Villa Tasso’s windows. Spend the morning by the pool, gather for lunch on a terrace and walk into Portopalo, around 600 metres away, for an evening out.
Three double bedrooms in the main villa and a separate two-bedroom apartment give two families or different generations room to share the stay. The apartment has its own entrance, living room and kitchenette, so part of the group can enjoy a little more independence.
A week on the coast: explore the beaches around Carratois and Isola delle Correnti, enjoy local meals in Portopalo and return to your own pool and sea-facing terraces.


Your villa stay
Villa Tasso sleeps ten in four double bedrooms and one bunk room. We recommend the bunk room for children, making the layout a good choice for families sharing.
The apartment has a double bedroom, bunk room, shower room, living room and kitchenette, all with its own entrance. For six guests, the main house can be booked without the apartment.
A food shop and restaurant are around 300 metres away, and central Portopalo is approximately 600 metres from the villa. A car is essential for wider shopping, beach outings and exploring the south-east.
The pool is 1.20 metres deep throughout, with no shallow section. The cliff-top setting requires close supervision of children; pool and cliff-edge fencing is not confirmed. We recommend discussing the layout before booking with very young children.
Bedrooms and bathrooms

Main house · 3 double rooms
All three main-house bedrooms are on the first floor. One double has an en-suite shower room; the other two doubles share a second shower room. A further bathroom or WC is on the ground floor.

Independent apartment · 2 rooms
The ground-floor apartment has a separate entrance, living room, kitchenette, double bedroom, bunk bedroom and shower room. It gives a second family its own sleeping and living space.
Access: the main-house bedrooms are upstairs. Accessible facilities are advertised, but detailed routes and bathroom specifications are not available; tell us your requirements so we can check these before you book.
Time at the villa
Enjoy a full day at the villa between outings, moving from the pool to the shaded living spaces and terraces overlooking the coast.

The 4 × 8 metre pool opens from 1 March to 30 November and is 1.20 metres deep throughout. Settle on a lounger afterwards, with the sea in view.

Approximately 225 m² of terrace, a solarium, loungers, outdoor seating, a barbecue and an external shower create several places to follow the light and sea view through the day.

The open-plan main kitchen and the apartment kitchenette give two households flexibility at mealtimes. Two ovens, two fridges, a dishwasher, freezer and gas hob provide the equipment for shared meals.

Weekly housekeeping, weekly linen and towel changes, final cleaning and a welcome basket of local provisions are included. Add a cook, transfers or a boat outing at an extra charge.
Villa amenities
Location
Stay in Contrada Pizzuta, just beyond Portopalo di Capo Passero. Walk to nearby provisions or a restaurant, around 300 metres away, or continue into the centre, approximately 600 metres from the villa.
The rocky shoreline lies below the villa, with the nearest access to the sea around 300 metres away. A sandy beach is approximately 800 metres away. Drive out to Carratois, Isola delle Correnti or Vendicari for further coastal days.

Natural coastal grounds, sea views and Portopalo close by.
From the villa
We recommend a week here to enjoy the villa, local beaches and a few outings among the towns and landscapes of the south-east.
Portopalo and Isola delle Correnti
Explore Portopalo and its harbour, then head to a sandy beach around Carratois or Isola delle Correnti. Enjoy a leisurely lunch and return for an afternoon on the terrace.
Marzamemi and Vendicari
Walk through Vendicari in the cooler part of the day, with time for its coastline and birdlife. Continue to Marzamemi for a stroll around the lanes and waterfront before dinner.
Noto
After a morning by the pool, drive to Noto, around 20 km away. Explore its churches and palaces as the afternoon heat eases, then stay for dinner.
Siracusa or the inland baroque towns
Give Siracusa a full day for its archaeological park and Ortigia’s streets and waterfront. For a different outing, explore Modica or Ragusa Ibla, with time to enjoy the food and architecture.
Enjoy a week at Villa Tasso, or combine the coast with the Etna region for volcanic scenery and wine. We can arrange the route around your arrival and departure, with comfortable driving stages and time to relax.
