Perched on a hillside in south-eastern Sicily near Noto, this villa looks out over a sweep of Mediterranean countryside that dissolves into the coastline. The pool and its surrounding garden are the heart of it – spend afternoons moving between the water and the shaded pergola terrace, where a barbecue and outdoor dining area make evenings easy. Each of the three bedrooms has its own en-suite shower room and patio access, keeping things private even when the villa is full. Noto, Syracuse, and the Vendicari Nature Reserve are all within reach by car.
