This fantastic home in Noto, Sicily offers three terraces with great views plus proximity to the many sights and attractions of the area. Grab your morning coffee and a good book and head up to the top floor of this home to reach the upper-most balcony. Here, you will find deck chairs to recline in and soak up the sunshine while you read or simply gaze out over the rooftops at the views. After a leisurely morning, you will be ready to head out and explore the area which you can do under your own steam, hire a bicycle or even join a walking tour. Visit the Cathedral of Noto – a short nine-minute walk away, or the Palazzo Ducezio – ten minutes away on foot – which is a fantastic example of Baroque architecture with a famous Hall of Mirrors. If you’re looking for beach days, these aren’t far away either, with Noto Marina Beach a fifteen-minute drive from your door and Calamosche Beach – reachable in twenty-three minutes by car, the latter of which is a natural oasis that has previously been declared as being the most beautiful beach in Italy for its crystal-clear waters. A busy day of... activities will leave you feeling hungry, so what better way is there to end the day here that to dine alfresco and enjoy delicious Italian cuisine on the rattan-shaded terrace?
