A short distance from hiking trails, the sea, and more, this family-friendly villa lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to Ionian Sea or the 6-minute drive to Timpa Natural Reserve (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime). If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Guardia Mangano Santa Venerina Station, a short 10-minute walk away.

After you return to this 2583-sq-ft villa, you can unwind by the private pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

A BBQ grill, a safe, air conditioning, and a desk are featured at this 2-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, a bidet, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a lobster pot. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
