Contemporary Sicilian Living
Situated on a hill overlooking the rolling countryside and out to the Mediterranean, this luxury villa in Sicily sets a contemporary tone with a stylish reimagination of country living and the natural, rustic ideals of southern Italian life.
Located in the heart of the UNESCO Val di Noto just a short drive into town, the newly built property is composed of clean lines, soft neutrals and a minimalist approach to design creating a relaxed sophistication that lifts you into the holiday mood.
Opening out entirely on both sides, the main living area is the social heart of the house, with verandas on either side and a fully equipped modern kitchen and breakfast bar.
All in white, the three hotel-style en suite double bedrooms are in opposing wings and are cool, minimalist rooms for slumber. Each has independent access to the gardens.
The outdoor living areas extend around the house and through to the beautifully landscaped gardens surrounded in old olive groves. There is a shaded alfresco dining area with an additional shaded lounge and sunny spots around the pool all facing fabulous sea views.
THE WORLD HERITAGE OF THE VAL DI NOTO
Noto is a historic UNESCO World Heritage site with some of the most spectacular and elegant Baroque sites in the world and is one of the gems in the greater Val di Noto region along with its sister cities of Modica, Ragusa, and Scicli, all reachable within a short drive. Wander through to view the famous cathedral, the ancient marketplace, the theater, and the city’s best restaurants and cafes.
The protected and stunningly beautiful Vendicari Nature Reserve is just a thirty-minute drive to some of the best beaches on the island, including Lido di Noto and Avola. The reserve is located halfway between Noto and Pachino extending into almost 4,000 acres of forests and undisturbed marine and bird eco-systems that open to a clear sea and long, golden beaches including Tonnara, Eloro, Pizzuta, Calamosche and Marianelli.

The pretty seaside fishing village of Marzamemi is 30 minutes drive and is well known for its seafood and the central Tonnara square, full of traditional restaurants and bars as well as its film festival in July.
Forty minutes south, The Marina di Modica, Marina di Ragusa and the Andrea Doria promenade feature some of the area's most popular beaches on the island including Sampieri, Pozzallo and Donnalucata.
