Style and substance take on a whole new meaning at this home in the heart of Noto. Featuring minimal Mediterranean interiors, this is an architectural dream. The private pool and various terraces are a true highlight. Inside is equally as noteworthy with its cosy fireplace and refined touches, which fuse to create a truly memorable space. It's right in the heart of the action, too. Take a short stroll and you'll find heritage sites and cultural attractions – not to mention a host of local bistros and charming cafes. All things considered, this makes a great base for discovering this UNESCO World Heritage city, with lots to see and do right outside the door.
