On a sleepy hillside near Noto, the peace is profound at this country estate set in a modern property with a spa, gym and generous suites

Close to the baroque beauty of Noto, this delightfully eclectic place to stay is tucked into tree-studded hills overlooking the ocean. The main building is fairly modern and consists of generous suites (some with private terraces) while a separate suite and a family cottage are perfect if you prefer more privacy.

Interiors are softened with local Caltagirone ceramics, vintage photographs and oriental sculptures sourced from Parisian markets, reflecting the owner's cosmopolitan spirit. He lives on the top floor with his dog and hosts bi-weekly sunset socials for guests to gather for an aperitivo.

Soothe in the spa or float in the pool with a view. Leafy terraces and walkways open onto 12-hectares where you'll find plenty of shady spots to soak up the peace. Breakfast is a treat - seasonal, homemade and locally sourced. Lunches and evening meals with Sicilian wines are by request or nip to Noto in under ten minutes.
