Capital of Baroque

You'll simply love the layout of this home. The gorgeous garden area has been carefully thought-out to make the most of the space – find a sunbathing terrace elevated form the pool, whilst a cute spot with chairs and an umbrella is tucked around the corner. It can comfortably hold all eight guests, plus some extra friends, without feeling crowded. Inside the home, the living room exudes a regal, historical appearance. Voguish furniture commands the centre of the room, complemented by traditional portraits and artwork on the walls. The widescreen TV and deluxe piano showcase the luxuries of the modern day. A huge, homespun kitchen – centred around the long, white table in the middle – has an authentically Italian feel. When you're cooking under the exposed wooden beams and surrounded by terracotta tiles, you'll feel like you're really on holiday. To amplify that feeling, take a trip to the nearby towns for an immersion into the history of Sicily. Noto – known as the capital of Sicilian baroque – is a must-see town. It's shaped by incredible buildings and unique architecture, sewn together by cobbled streets lined with cute cafes and gelato stores.

About Val di Noto

Encompassing the south-eastern third of Sicily, Val di Noto is one of the three historic regions of the island.
