Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Amid 2.5 acres of olive and citrus trees, this home opens its doors to the natural beauty of the Sicilian countryside. Outside, there’s a private pool and plenty of shady spots to relax and unwind. The rooms might be basic, but we think most of your time will be spent in the garden or out exploring the region. From here, it’s just two kilometres to the baroque town of Noto, while the sandy beaches of the Vendicari nature reserve are also within easy driving distance.
