Live life outdoors at this secluded Sicilian villa. Lunch can be served at the shaded marble table as white curtains billow in the breeze and the swimming pool winks in the sunshine. There’s a second plunge pool here too, and an outdoor cinema can be set up between June and August. Step inside a kitchen that embraces old Sicilian farmhouse vibes with its long wooden table for shaping pasta and a wood-fired pizza oven (alongside a state-of-the-art range cooker). Tiled floors and pretty mosaic walls keep things cool in summer, and there’s a pellet stove for the winter months. Getting out to explore, Noto is a short drive away and the buzzing port city of Syracuse is just up the coast.
