Brucoli

Brucoli is a peaceful seaside village in Sicily, perfect if you’re after a more relaxed holiday. Renting a villa here gives you the freedom to set your own pace—eat when you like, enjoy more space, and feel right at home. If you’re travelling with a group, look at options just outside Brucoli, where countryside villas offer more privacy and stunning views. One standout is Villa Feudale, a grand estate with a private pool, charming rooms, and even a 17th-century chapel. Whether you’re enjoying a summer BBQ or curling up by the fire in cooler months, it’s a place you won’t want to leave. We’ve got plenty more like it—just ask if you need help finding the right one.

Brucoli itself has something for everyone. You’ve got beautiful little beaches and hidden coves if you’re after sun and sea. Hikers will love the countryside paths, and Mount Etna is close enough for a day trip. Couples can wander the pretty streets, and the town’s nightlife keeps things lively in the evenings.

Life here revolves around the coast. You’ll find caves and cliffs to explore, plus calm, clear water that’s ideal for swimming or snorkelling. The town keeps its charm, too. Many old fishermen’s houses have been turned into restaurants and places to stay, keeping that authentic feel. The harbour is full of colour, and the old fortress is worth checking out.

If you like walking, bring good shoes—there are great trails through hills and farmland all around. And if you’re up for more adventure, Mount Etna is only an hour away and offers some of the best hiking in Sicily.
