Combining a zen-inducing neutral colour palette with minimalist design and architectural features that are at once contemporary and rustic, this newly refurbished home has a certain timeless quality to it. The indoor living space leads seamlessly out to the terrace, where you’ll find comfy seats sheltered by an awning, along with the tranquil pool area. After exploring the historic city of Noto (famed for its Baroque architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site), take an invigorating dip in the pool or a refreshing siesta on a lounger with views over the Sicilian countryside down towards the sea. Dinner is best enjoyed under the pergola in the outdoor dining area.
