Relax at this Sicilian oasis with its views over olive groves and the Mediterranean Sea. Imagine spending long, lazy afternoons sunbathing by the pool or dining under the shade of the veranda. You can even pick fresh lemons straight from the tree in the garden for iced teas or gin and tonics – this place is just idyllic. Moving indoors, the decor is traditional and homely, and there are more vistas to enjoy. Location-wise, this tucked-away home is under 3 kilometres from Noto, known for its baroque architecture and 18th-century cathedral. Plus, a variety of pristine beaches and coves are around a ten to twenty-five-minute drive away.
