This villa couldn’t be better placed. It’s situated on the outskirts of Noto, though you can drive into the heart of town in around five minutes, so dipping in and out of the day-to-day bustle couldn’t be easier. Back at the home, there’s a private swimming pool and a covered veranda for relaxing with refreshments. The interiors are traditionally styled, which may not appeal to some, but the place has everything a family or group of friends could need for a stress-free holiday.
