Tucked away in the heart of the Val di Noto, just a short drive from both the historic centre and the coast, this contemporary villa is perfectly placed for exploring Sicily’s southeast. Designed by French-Lebanese architect Fabrice Bejjani, the house makes the most of its setting with clean lines, large windows, and sweeping views over olive groves to the sea. Inside, it’s bright, minimal and elegant; outside, the infinity pool and sunken lounge offer all-day comfort under the Sicilian sun. Whether you're catching rays, unwinding with a book, or hosting drinks at dusk, this place makes doing little feel like an art form.
