Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Whether you’re a family or a small group of friends, this villa provides a bright and convenient base on Sicily’s west coast. While there’s no pool to cool off in from the midday sun here, there’s a small sandy beach just 20m from the villa, where you can swim the Ionian waters. The style here is a little eclectic, though we think you’ll spend most of your time dining on the balcony overlooking the waves or soaking up the sun in your private garden. When you’re ready to explore further afield, you’ll find Noto, its Baroque architecture and local restaurants within a short drive.
