At the edge of a nature reserve, in a picturesque Sicilian village, right on the sea – this villa has it all. Ocean breeze scents the air with salt and rustles through the whitewashed archways framing the house. There is no better way to start the day than sipping a coffee on the balcony overlooking the Mediterranean, perhaps after running twenty metres down to the beach and plunging in the water. The house is designed in a laid back Italian style – terrazzo floors, wicker chairs, and an earthy colour palette. There are three bathrooms, and the main bedroom has an en suite, so everyone has their space. 

Known for its Baroque architecture, the beautiful town of Noto is a UNESCO world heritage site and can be reached in thirteen minutes by car. Along the shoreline from the villa there are seafront restaurants, bars, and sandy beaches to explore. The breathtaking Vendicari nature reserve is a twenty-four minute drive away, a paradise for birdwatching, where you’ll find hiking trails, pristine beaches, and blooming native plant life. After a day of exploring, fire up the barbecue and whip up some cocktails as you watch the sunset from your balcony. 

Ionian Breeze

As well as being perfectly positioned in a charming, family–friendly neighbourhood with great transport links to central Sicily, this beautiful home has been lovingly furnished right through, ensuring a beautiful base to every single one of your adventures.

From the outside, this place is utterly idyllic. With its picture–perfect backdrop of native saplings and gravel driveway, there’s also a small dining table for two, serving up a serene spot to sip on your creamy, morning coffee. To put it simply, this place is a sight for sore eyes, but when you cast a glimpse at the crystalline private pool, that’s the moment you’ll fall in love.

Surrounded by cushioned sun loungers and yet another dining spot, when temperatures soar, make a beeline for its refreshing depths for an instant cool–down. A few lengths later, you might just have worked up an appetite – in which case, the fully–equipped kitchen has got you covered.

As the old saying goes, the kitchen is the heart of the home, and in this case, it really does feel that way. Illuminated by a soft, soothing palette, this space is light, bright and breezy with occasional pops of green, paying homage to the home’s luscious surroundings. There’s a dining table in here, too, but we’d bet our bottom dollar you’ll eat al fresco almost every single time. With large doors leading right out onto the terrace, you can quickly whip up a bite to eat before making your way outside to dine beneath a blanket of sunlight.

With all it has to offer, you’ll never tire of this place – but if you’re craving a reconnect with civilisation, that’s no problem at all. Not only is this place closely nestled to a bunch of transport stops, you’re also just a short drive from the nearest beach. So, if a stroll along the seafront is calling your name, you’ve hit the jackpot once again.

Afternoons are for leisurely swims in the communal infinity pool followed by a snooze on a lounger. If you fancy a change of surroundings, hop in the car and head over Noto Beach for a stroll along the golden sands.

After a bite to eat in a traditional restaurant, return home for a glass of Nero d'Avola by starlight.

Return to Me

Perched on a Sicilian hillside, you’re treated to wonderful countryside views from your sleek apartment. Whether you’re soaking up the scenery from the comfort of your own terrace and heading down to the pool for a dip, you’ll be captivated by the rolling hills and far-stretching seascape.

You’ll love mornings here – plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows mean natural light floods the apartment, beckoning you outside for a coffee in the sun. Perhaps a spot of yoga on your terrace is how you’ll want to start your day, or a dip in the shared pool to kickstart your senses. You can even sink into the pool’s hydromassage seats for ultimate relaxation. When the afternoon rolls around, it’s the perfect time for a gin & tonic on your terrace, garnished with Sicily’s famously good citrus fruit, while playing a light-hearted card game. 

Watching the sunset from your terrace is not to be missed – nothing beats watching the sun dip behind the hills, melting away in the sea. Come dinnertime, your kitchen is well-equipped for whipping up your specialty dish to be enjoyed around the dining table. But if you don’t feel like cooking, you can always head to the nearby city of Noto. Famous for its baroque architecture, it’s a wonderful place to walk around hand-in-hand, admiring the romantic scenery, before finding a local Sicilian spot for a traditional dinner. 

Sicily Escape

If you’re seeking a stylish spot for a Sicilian stay, this apartment doesn't disappoint. Your host owns four apartments in this building, so the photos can guide your expectations, though each is similar in style. There are communal outdoor areas to enjoy, so you can make the most of downtime and drinks alfresco. The kitchen is on the minimal side, so you’ll only be able to prepare simpler dishes – that said, you’ll want to maximise your time out sampling the local cuisine. And when you’re ready to explore, you’ve got Noto Cathedral, Baroque landmarks and gelaterias on your doorstep.

Noto Oasis

With the fresh sea breeze dancing through the air, this beautiful home invites you to a rejuvenating stay on the Sicilian coast. 

Surrounded by olive trees and just a short stroll from the atmospheric bay, every element of this home reflects and celebrates the natural beauty of its surroundings. Set across one floor with an abundance of natural light, this is the kind of space that feels instantly welcoming.

The majestic Syracuse is just a twenty-five-minute drive away, while it’s just a thirty-minute drive to the stunning Cavagrande del Cassibile nature reserve.

Villa Naturale

Hidden among the olive trees of Syracuse, this home caught our eye with its seafront location and peaceful garden. It’s also a great base from which to explore the most stunning spots of the region – the Baroque cities of Syracuse and Noto are a short drive away, while the beaches of Avola and Fontane Bianche are also within easy reach. You will need a car here, but your host can help organise car rentals along with a range of excursions. And while the rooms are basic, we think most of your time will be spent outside, admiring the views from the jacuzzi.

Looking out at that view from the (unfenced) rooftop terrace, there’s is no doubt you’re in the heart of historic Noto. Shambling rooftops lead to the crowning dome of Noto Cathedral, showing off just how central you are. Down a set of stairs, you’ll find an enclosed terrace for meals outside and glass doors leading to the solarium-style sitting room. The rooftop view from the breakfast table in the dine-in kitchen is just as impressive. Each main bedroom is bright and spacious, and the mezzanine bedroom has its own sitting room, but if you’re packing this place to capacity, two people will be in a box room with no windows. 

Baroquen Heart

Nuzzled right in the heart of the city, this warm and welcoming home invites you to immerse yourself in the enchantment of Sicily in style. It’s contemporary but cosy right through, with all the amenities you could ever want for and fabulous views overlooking the terraced roofs of Noto.

Sicily is a hub of wonderful things to see and do, so you might find you are out and about more than you are in on this vacation, but returning here after a busy day exploring will always feel like a treat. 

Each and every room is just as charming as the next, but if we had to pinpoint the ultimate piece de resistance in this home, it would have to be the balcony. Fully furnished with chairs, a flurry of luscious plants and an open–air dining setup, be sure to retreat to this private paradise every day to contemplate the change from sunlight to starlight. With an Aperol Spritz in hand and lots of tasty Italian nibbles to munch on, you couldn’t wish for a more idyllic situation to be in.

Thanks to its central location, this home puts you in the perfect position to explore Sicily on foot. Stroll for no more than a minute or two and you’ll stumble upon a bevy of bars, restaurants, shops and, for those with a sweet tooth, ice cream parlours! Be sure to traverse the city’s magical baroque alleys and for those moments when nothing but a sea view will do, head to the beautiful beaches of Noto Marina, Marzamemi, San Lorenzo and the Vendicari Reserve.

My Heart is in Sicily

Just south of Noto, this contemporary villa has all the essentials for a Sicilian stay. The private pool is the real showstopper, with the distant sea views being a close second. It's no surprise that most of your time here will be spent outside, relaxing on a lounge chair in the sunshine or dining under the covered terrace. Inside, the design is modern and sleek. The third bedroom is located in its own annexe and is ideal for those seeking extra privacy. When you're ready to explore, you'll find sandy beaches just 7 kilometres away.

Noto Fantasy

Take things up a notch with a stay at this Baroque riad, where an inner-courtyard private plunge pool and shared wellness centre set the scene for total relaxation. Blissfully secluded, it’s hard to believe the lively restaurants and shops of Noto are just moments away. But good luck convincing anyone to leave – this home makes a lasting impression. Indoor and outdoor living blend effortlessly, with plenty of space to spill out into the riad courtyard to soak up the sunshine. After dark, this place comes into its own, with the garden lit for atmospheric meals and a cinema room for cosy film nights.  

The Secret Riad

Nestled in Noto, a Sicilian city famed for its baroque architecture, this first floor apartment is thoroughly classy. Underpinned by Italian design principles, the home is dotted with designer furniture, marble and other fine materials, and contemporary artwork. It's not all cosmetic, though – the living area is good sized and comfortable, the bedroom is bright and tasteful, while the kitchen and dining area opens out onto a peaceful private terrace. With the city on your doorstep, you'll be able to sample all of Noto's delights, while Syracuse, the island's other major southern city, is a forty minute drive to the coast away.

Prickly Pear Terrace

Sit back, relax, and soak up the Sicilian sunshine at this modern villa. The private pool takes full advantage of the countryside scenery – it's the perfect spot to while away an afternoon. We're also big fans of the covered terrace, where you can enjoy alfresco feasts and Aperol spritzes as the sun goes down. Stylish and contemporary, the design inside is quite modern – just note that two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed. When you're ready to venture out, Noto is just a 2-kilometre drive away – ideal if you fancy a bit of sightseeing.

There is direct access to the sea from the rocky outcrop at the bottom of the garden when you fancy taking a refreshing dip. And, you can wander down to the sandy shoreline of Lido di Noto Beach in just two minutes.

Overlooking the glimmering blue of the Ionian Sea, this charming whitewashed villa boasts a prime location, plenty of outdoor space, and chic interiors. You’ll have plenty of peace and privacy here: the house is surrounded by 4000m2 of manicured gardens, which lead down to a large outdoor pool and plenty of deck chairs for relaxing in after a refreshing dip. Large whitewashed pillars support the covered terrace that wraps around the house. Fire up the audio system while you make drinks and snacks in the outdoor kitchen, or throw some meats on the barbecue for an alfresco lunch. 

The rooms inside are characterised by high ceilings and dark wooden beams that contrast with the whitewashed walls. Sleek, minimalist furniture is compounded by statement pieces: we love the sunken living area with the towering ultramarine ornamental fireplace.

Sitting pretty above Noto’s honey-hued rooftops, this apartment delivers a masterclass in Baroque-meets-bold design. Ornate ceilings? Check. Vibrant tiles? Plenty. Artistic flourishes? Naturally. While the town’s historic centre buzzes below, up here it’s all calm aperitifs and lazy breakfasts on the terrace. You’re well placed to explore the architectural drama of the Val di Noto, but we wouldn’t blame you for lingering indoors in the grand elegance of the living room too. And if you’re the sort who likes a good view with their morning espresso, the rooftop terrace has your name on it.

The Mirrors of Noto

With direct access to a sandy beach from the garden and Mediterranean Sea views, this home’s enviable location offers the perfect coastal escape.

After soaking up the endless ocean vistas from a lounger, slip on your flip-flops and walk just 200 metres to Scogliera Bianca Beach.

Spend afternoons lolling about on a lounger before cooling off with a dip in the pool. When hunger strikes, come together for a feast of fresh Sicilian produce on the patio – release your inner grillardin at the barbecue or call upon the help of a private chef if you’d prefer to leave it up to the professionals.

Stroll along the sandy beach just 500 metres from your doorstep, then drive over to Syracuse for an afternoon of culture and history. Discover the Neapolis Archaeological Park, peruse the artisanal shops and explore the island of Ortigia. 

Return home in the early evening with a bottle of fizz, ready to watch the sun plunge into the Ionian Sea from your balcony – trust us, it’s a sight you won’t want to miss.

Nestled in the seaside town of Fontane Bianche, just south of the bustling city of Syracusa, this three-bedroom villa is set to stun with its minimalist aesthetic and thoroughly modern finishes. Upon entering, your eye will be immediately drawn to the undisputed highlight of the home – the outdoor area, complete with a spacious pool, outdoor dining area and plenty of sun loungers, perfect for enjoying the Sicilian heat. Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms and as many bathrooms, but you’ll be drawn to the large contemporary kitchen, where you can cook up an Italian feast to be served alfresco-style outside.
