Villa Ridente Club Sicily Italy
Interval International, a prominent worldwide provider of vacation services, welcomed the vacation ownership component of Villa Ridente Club, a beachfront resort in Sicily, Italy. Situated on the west coast of the island, the property overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and the Aeolian Islands.
“The family-friendly resort combines Sicily’s sunny climate, spectacular scenery, and regional cuisine to make it a prime destination for vacationers,” said Darren Ettridge, Interval’s senior vice president of business development for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. “Villa Ridente Club is an ideal base for our members looking to combine a beach experience with cultural exploration.”
The property features studios and one- and two-bedroom units, with a kitchen, furnished patio or balcony, and flat-screen TV. Guests can dine on-site at Le Terrazze, a restaurant serving Mediterranean food, or at O Fetente pizzeria. In addition to the private beach, with chairs, umbrellas, and kayaks, guests have access to windsurfing and paddleboard rentals. The sprawling grounds include a wide array of other amenities, from a spa, outdoor swimming pool, and tennis court, to a kids’ club, boutique shop, and an amphitheater with live shows.

“Through our affiliation, they’ll also enjoy year-round travel and leisure benefits and services.”
