Property 10568 - VILLASMUNDO

9 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Offering a serene atmosphere, this villa provides a unique escape to explore this diverse region, which is home to Baroque towns, excellent food, and some of the most beautiful beaches in Sicily. Property 10568 is just a stone’s throw from Syracuse, which encapsulates Sicily’s timeless beauty more than any other city: ancient Greek ruins rise out of lush citrus orchards, café tables spill onto dazzling Baroque piazzas, and honey-hued medieval side streets lead down to the sparkling blue sea.

The villa is also a few kilometres from Noto, a spectacular Baroque city and an architectural paradise with one of the most beautiful historic centres in Sicily. Renowned as the Capital of Baroque and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Noto is perched on a plateau overlooking the Asinaro Valley, covered in citrus, olive, and almond trees. In less than one hour by car, you can reach Marzamemi, a fishing village long known for its good seafood, with its ancient core home to numerous restaurants, bars, and boutiques.

In just one hour by car, you can reach Modica, which was damaged in the 1963 earthquake and rebuilt in the Sicilian Baroque style; its highlight is the 18th-century Church of San Giorgio, which dominates the upper town. Attractions in the lower town include the Chiesa del Carmine, the Baroque San Pietro, and the Palazzo de Leva. The villa is also an hour's drive from Catania, one of the most picturesque towns in Sicily; its historic centre is a UNESCO-listed wonder, where black and white palazzi tower over sweeping Baroque piazzas.

The villa is a few kilometres from Scicli, the most authentic and relaxed of the Val di Noto’s Baroque towns. Its relatively compact historic centre is awash with cultural sights, from beautiful churches and aristocratic palazzi to eclectic museums and a time-warped apothecary. Full of artistic treasures and delicacies for the palate, Sicily is also famous for its balmy beaches. Travelling along its spectacular coastline, visitors will encounter the sandy beaches of Arenella, Fanusa, Fontane Bianche, and Ognina.
