Garden of Laurels - Villa Mendez

Close to scuba diving, snorkeling, and more, this smoke-free vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 17-minute drive to Tonnara of Scopello or the 21-minute drive to Zingaro Nature Reserve (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 861-sq-ft vacation home, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the hot tub; you may also like the garden and deck or patio. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, a bidet, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with a stovetop, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a lobster pot. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
