Situated a short walk from the centre of Noto, a town known for its baroque architecture, including the 18th-century Noto Cathedral, this modern apartment offers a slice of typical Sicilian life. You’ll begin slow mornings with a coffee in the sun-soaked living space before idly tucking into a light breakfast at the dining table. When the time’s right, head out onto the terrace and get stuck into a good book, enveloped by the scent of potted jasmine. If you’re keen to while away the hours at the seaside, Noto Beach is a short drive away. Stretch out on the soft sand or bob about in the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea. Should you start to feel peckish, drive north to Avola for rustic osterias and traditional ristorantes. Return home in the early evening for a glass or two of limoncello on the rooftop as dusk falls over the landscape.
