18th-Century Hideaway

Noto, Sicily, Italy

Among Noto's Baroque Splendors

This vacation home rental in Sicily is located in the center of Noto, the capital of Sicilian Baroque architecture. A charming building dating back to 1771, it was lovingly restored by its interior-designer owner in 2010 and is well located for exploring the ancient cities and beautiful beaches of the island.

Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, it is within easy reach of all the city's main attractions, making it the best possible combination of public and private.

The house is split over three floors, with a courtyard-garden on the first floor, and a large living room and terrace on the third, offering views over the center of Noto, its cathedral and theater. We love the light, spacious interiors, which are inspired by local tradition and retain all the warmth of the original stonework. The simple and elegant design is also partially influenced by the owners' travels in east and south-east Asia.

Its three bedrooms are located on the first and second floors. There's a double room with two single beds on the lower level, with a sofa bed in its living area. The second floor has two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom. Rather unusually, the main living area (with kitchen) is on the top floor, and the terrace area has a tent and cushions for al fresco dining.

Please note: this home is not suitable for infants and children.

THE VAL DE NOTO

The house is located within walking distance of Noto’s famous cathedral, the ancient marketplace, the theater, and the city’s best restaurants and cafes. However, it is also very peaceful, due to its location at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac.

Noto is well-situated, close to all that eastern Sicily has to offer, and is a stone's throw away from great beaches, natural reserves, and UNESCO World Heritage sites. In fact, it is one itself, part of a cluster of Late Baroque towns of the Val di Noto. Renowned Baroque cities such as Siracusa/Oritigia, Scicli, Ragusa Ibla and Modica are all 30-45 minutes away. The natural reserve of Vendicari's Oasis and its unspoiled shores are within 10 minutes’ drive.
