Olive trees, modern comforts, and a safari tent filled with a billiards, foosball and ping pong table – this isn’t your average countryside retreat. The sleek, single-storey villa mixes refined interiors with a lush garden bursting with Mediterranean herbs and a fabulous pool (complete with hydromassage corner). There’s space to sprawl indoors, shade to dine under on the veranda, and a piano for impressing your guests. Located just a short drive from Noto and Sicily’s other baroque villages, this is a base for poolside lounging and cultural gallivanting in equal measure.
