The houses

The Sicilian countryside just as you picture it: pale stone, the silver-green of the olive trees, a horizon of dry-stone walls and carob trees.

Some houses make you look up: the light pouring through the windows, the old patterned tiles underfoot, big rooms where everyone can be together without getting in each other’s way. This is one of them.

The house every family dreams of having in Sicily: lived-in, real, with walls that have watched generations come and go.

Some holidays don’t come with a list of sights. They’re measured in swims, chapters read by the pool and afternoon naps to the sound of cicadas. This house was made for exactly that kind.
