Nestled in Noto, a Sicilian city famed for its baroque architecture, this first floor apartment is thoroughly classy. Underpinned by Italian design principles, the home is dotted with designer furniture, marble and other fine materials, and contemporary artwork. It's not all cosmetic, though – the living area is good sized and comfortable, the bedroom is bright and tasteful, while the kitchen and dining area opens out onto a peaceful private terrace. With the city on your doorstep, you'll be able to sample all of Noto's delights, while Syracuse, the island's other major southern city, is a forty minute drive to the coast away.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
