Restored with Love: Amazing Hotel in a 19th Century Villa on Sicily28 photos

Until 2009, this Sicilian stone villa, where the Dimora delle Balze hotel is now located, was in ruins. Restoration took several years, but now it's a secluded 11-room residence where every guest can feel like a castle owner by the sea. Guests enter through the main entrance located in the tower. The rooms are designed quite simply: stone walls, pastel tones, and bright accents, with an emphasis on naturalness. And it's understandable why — the hotel is surrounded by wonderful Mediterranean nature, and the sea is just a few minutes' walk away. Those who don't love beach holidays can enjoy themselves at the pool or in one of many relaxation zones. Weddings and celebrations are often held here, and it's no surprise — this place simply captivates!
