A Sicilian villa beside the sea
Villa Salvatore is a family home turned into a warm place to stay in San Leone, just 150 metres from Le dune Beach. The apartments are spacious and well kept, with air conditioning, a balcony or terrace, a private bathroom and a kitchenette, set in a quiet garden with a pool. It is an ideal base for the Valley of the Temples, 5 km away, and Scala dei Turchi, 15 km away.
A family welcome
Antonino and Rosalba greet every guest personally and help with parking, restaurant recommendations, day trips and anything else that makes a stay easier. Villa Salvatore was the family summer residence: since 2007 it has been restored with Caltagirone ceramics, mosaics and handcrafted textiles, so that Sicily shows in every corner. Italian, English and French are spoken.

Gluten-free options are available, and breakfast can be enjoyed outside in the garden dining area.
