This home is housed in an attractive, Baroque-style building, a few steps from the splendid Baroque Cathedral of San Nicolò, in the heart of Noto. Recently renovated, it maintains its period finishes, such as its vaulted ceilings. In the living space, you'll find stencils of foxes and deers, as well as a sparkling chandelier and terrazzo floors. French doors lead to the balustraded terrace – it's the ideal spot for a glass of Marsala. We think this home is perfect for a couple or family. There's plenty to see and do in Noto. It's known as the Capital of Baroque, so if you love classical architecture, this place will have you in raptures. The stunning historic centre was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002. Admire the Cathedral of Noto and the Palazzo Ducezio, or if you prefer a day at the beach, head to Calamosche Beach with its crystal-clear waters.
