At the edge of a nature reserve, in a picturesque Sicilian village, right on the sea – this villa has it all. Ocean breeze scents the air with salt and rustles through the whitewashed archways framing the house. There is no better way to start the day than sipping a coffee on the balcony overlooking the Mediterranean, perhaps after running twenty metres down to the beach and plunging in the water. The house is designed in a laid back Italian style – terrazzo floors, wicker chairs, and an earthy colour palette. There are three bathrooms, and the main bedroom has an en suite, so everyone has their space. Known for its Baroque architecture, the beautiful town of Noto is a UNESCO world heritage site and can be reached in thirteen minutes by car. Along the shoreline from the villa there are seafront restaurants, bars, and sandy beaches to explore. The breathtaking Vendicari nature reserve is a twenty-four minute drive away, a paradise for ...More Details

Noto is just 1.5 kilometres away from this home, making it a perfect base to explore one of Sicily's most famous (and most beautiful) cities. If sandy beaches are more your thing, the Vendicari Nature Reserve is a ten-minute drive away. Breezy and modern, the fuss-free interiors lack some character. That said, the garden is the biggest draw here, surrounded by lemon and orange groves with lavender wafting in the air. Mealtimes are best enjoyed on the terrace, while afternoons can be spent in the pool when you're not up for an adventure. The sea views are limited, but on a clear day, you can glimpse the lighthouse in Porto Palo, Sicily's southernmost point. Larger groups can book the house next door, too. *There's another small home on the same property. A small path runs between the two homes, so it lacks privacy if you're not booking them together. *Two of the beds are made up of two single mattresses. They can be pushed together to ...More Details
Directly facing the historic Ortigia market, this beautifully curated apartment offers a symphony for the senses, all while providing a design-led space that’s as chic as it is comfortable. Housed in an early 20th-century building, you’ll immediately be immersed in the colours, scents and sounds of local Ortigian life from the home’s beautiful balconies – allowing you to people-watch over a morning cup of coffee or evening glass of red, courtesy of the home's wine cellar. We love the blend of old meets new that gives this home such a singular feel. Many of the home’s original features remain, with high ceilings, decorative mouldings and colourful tiles sitting alongside bespoke contemporary details, like designer lighting, polished concrete accents and handcrafted furniture. There’s an abundance of natural light here too thanks to the French doors, allowing the sunlight to cast its glow across the interiors’ greys, pinks, reds and bl...More Details
The epitome of serene, this seafront home is just steps from the soft white sands of Fontane Bianche. It sits on Sicily's south coast and overlooks the endless, two-tone blue of the horizon gliding over the Mediterranean Sea. It's delightfully peaceful, tucked away behind pruned-to-perfection hedges and a lush garden, promising privacy. Yet despite feeling completely secluded, it's well-connected to the ancient cities of Syracuse and Noto, only twenty-five minutes away by car. We love the interior's minimalist design aesthetic. Cloaked entirely in white, its contemporary and stylish decor is complemented by heaps of natural light, exuding coastal calm and creating a free-flowing ambience primed for relaxation. There are all the bells and whistles here for a want-for-nothing stay, including a fully equipped kitchen, though the real highlight is undoubtedly the outdoor space.

A dreamy stay awaits at this modern villa. The location is perfect for exploring Sicily – Fontane Bianche Beach is just 80 metres away, and Syracuse is a thirty-minute drive.

There's also a poolside bar, a massage cabana (you can hire a massage therapist for a fee), and an outdoor cinema area.

Moments from the beach, this single-level villa ticks all the boxes when it comes to location. A short drive away is the fishing village of Marzamemi, while Noto and Syracuse are further afield and ideal for day trips. But, with the beach practically on your doorstep and fantastic sea vistas to marvel at back home, you won't have to travel far to experience Sicilian life. There's also a private swimming pool and terrace ideal for alfresco dining, but the real draw is the rooftop, where a bubbling Jacuzzi awaits. The practical interiors could be more impressive – and two guests will sleep on the sofa bed – but the area, views, and sun-kissed outdoor spaces make it a good choice. *At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot.

Looking out at that view from the (unfenced) rooftop terrace, there’s is no doubt you’re in the heart of historic Noto. Shambling rooftops lead to the crowning dome of Noto Cathedral, showing off just how central you are. Down a set of stairs, you’ll find an enclosed terrace for meals outside and glass doors leading to the solarium-style sitting room. The rooftop view from the breakfast table in the dine-in kitchen is just as impressive. Each main bedroom is bright and spacious, and the mezzanine bedroom has its own sitting room, but if you’re packing this place to capacity, two people will be in a box room with no windows. *The rooftop terrace is unfenced so children should be supervised at all times when outside *This is an old villa set over three levels, so may not be suitable for those with limited mobility *At capacity, two guests will be on the sofa bed tucked away in a box room with no windows *There is no parking with this ho...More Details
Twenty-five minutes by car from Noto, where sights like the 18th-century Nicolaci Palace are sure to catch your eye, this countryside abode gives you a different taste of history. Take a forty-five-minute stroll into the nearest town of Rosolini, pick up some local wines, fresh Italian fare, and hunker down for the long haul – you won’t want to leave this villa in any hurry. Surrounded by natural groves of olive and almond trees, the rural setting of this home paves the way for its traditional elements. Its interiors feature gorgeous barn-style, wooden doors, an alcove fireplace, vintage furnishings, and a country kitchen with a wood-burning oven. But while you might enjoy this atmosphere of old-world Italy, recent renovation work also brings it into 21st-century luxe.

Hidden among the olive trees of Syracuse, this home caught our eye with its seafront location and peaceful garden. It’s also a great base from which to explore the most stunning spots of the region – the Baroque cities of Syracuse and Noto are a short drive away, while the beaches of Avola and Fontane Bianche are also within easy reach. You will need a car here, but your host can help organise car rentals along with a range of excursions. And while the rooms are basic, we think most of your time will be spent outside, admiring the views from the jacuzzi. *Due to this home's location, we recommend having a car to get the most out of your stay – there’s also free private parking. *One of the bedrooms is in a separate annex. *Please note the jacuzzi can be heated at an additional cost. *Mid-week housekeeping is included in your stay – you’ll also find a welcome basket with breakfast items upon arrival. *If you're travelling with littl...More Details

It’s contemporary but cosy right through, with all the amenities you could ever want for and fabulous views overlooking the terraced roofs of Noto. Sicily is a hub of wonderful things to see and do, so you might find you are out and about more than you are in on this vacation, but returning here after a busy day exploring will always feel like a treat. Each and every room is just as charming as the next, but if we had to pinpoint the ultimate piece de resistance in this home, it would have to be the balcony. Fully furnished with chairs, a flurry of luscious plants and an open–air dining setup, be sure to retreat to this private paradise every day to contemplate the change from sunlight to starlight.

This Sicilian villa is all about the views. Located in the heart of the Val di Noto, you can admire the surrounding countryside from indoors and out – whether you’re lounging by the pool or preparing a mountain of pasta in the kitchen. We love the extras here, like the hydromassage feature in the swimming pool and the pool table tucked away on the lower level. Because of its remote spot, we suggest hiring a car to explore the surrounding area – make sure you add the Baroque city of Noto and the ancient ruins at Syracuse to your must-see list. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
