Nestled in the greenery between Noto and Palazzolo Acreide, this remote villa offers a little slice of paradise with easy access to two of Sicily's most beautiful towns. Boasting a private swimming pool, enjoy the seclusion as you cool off in the refreshing waters. Make the most of the Mediterranean climate by lying back on a sun lounger with a good book and iced coffee in hand. If you can tear yourself away from the garden, the local towns are well worth a visit. Noto is home to an array of historic architecture, and some of the finest examples of the Sicilian baroque style. Spend a day exploring Noto Cathedral, Palazzo Ducezio and Jesuit College, and treat your tastebuds to some authentic Italian cuisine. After soaking up some local culture, head home to enjoy a glass of wine on the patio, which looks onto the quarry. When darkness falls, retire to the living room to curl up in front of the log burner.
