The Area
Baia dei Turchi is situated in a large private plot of land in a complex of high quality holiday residences on a quiet, isolated piece of coast just north of Syracuse. It is convenient for visiting Syracuse, Noto and the surrounding nature reserves such as Cassibile and Vendicari.
There are good local bars and restaurants in the nearby town of Brucoli.
Siracusa is 30mins drive away. Slightly further afield, Taormina, Mount Etna, Noto and Ragusa (Unesco World Heritage sites) are all good day trips, and a drive down to the southernmost tip of Sicily beyond Portopalo is highly recommended.

Private boat charters in Southeast Sicily
From here until the southeasternmost tip of Sicily, the coastline is an uninterrupted stretch of sandy beach, dotted with picturesque little resort towns, including Punta Secca (Inspector Montalbano's home), Marina di Ragusa, Donnalucata, Cava d'Aliga, Sampieri and Marina di Modica. The last strip, made up of several miles of dunes, is where the Allied forces landed in the 2nd World War. At the southernmost tip of Sicily is Isola Delle Correnti, offering an almost African scenario. Indeed, here we are considerably further south than Tunis.Just around the southeastern tip and heading north up the east coast, are the beaches of Marzamemi, San Lorenzo and Vendicari Nature Reserve. The reserve's salt water lagoons and varieties of flora offer the ideal habitat for a wide range of fauna, including nesting turtles and migrating flamingos.Continuing up the east coast, between Vendicari and the historic Greek town of Syracuse, are the popular sandy beaches of Marina di Noto, Calabernado, Marina di Avola, Gelsomineto, Fontane Bianche and Arenella.

Private boat charters in East Sicily
The coastline between Taormina and Catania is one of the most dramatic and idyllic in Sicily, thanks to its sandy-pebbly coves, its sea stacks and its transparent waters. The best way to explore it is by boat, and we can arrange a wide variety of full-day, half-day and sunset trips. From your port of departure, you'll head to the lovely fishing villages dotting the coast, such as Aci Trezza and Aci Castello, before sailing north towards the Bay of Giardini Naxos below Capo Taormina. Once there, your skipper will drop anchor so that you can enjoy an unforgettable swim under the awesome gaze of Mount Etna. If you can tear yourselves away from this majestic setting, your trip will continue north to the gorgeous Bay of Isola Bella, one of Sicily's most evocative and picturesque sections of coastline, where lush vegetation imbues the brilliant blue water of the Grotta Azzurra with an emerald green hue.

What stood out about Baia dei Turchi was the beautiful setting overlooking the sea. Every space had been created with love. We were so well looked after with delightful staff who went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We loved it. Could we sum up our holiday? Tranquility that comes from looking out at the beautiful vista and a feeling of home and warmth.

We had a wonderful family vacation at Baia dei Turchi. What stood out was the setting, the beautiful garden, the great layout, and the fantastic pool.
Bernhard Pleschko August 2024
We had an incredible vacation at Baia dei Turchi made possible by The Thinking Traveller. What stood out was the view and that the villa was comfortable for the entire family. We were fortunate enough to have a great chef prepare dinner for us twice - it was a highlight of our stay. I would not hesitate to recommend Thinking Traveller.
JC August 2024
Baia dei Turchi is the perfect place and we had a perfect time. We would return for the location over the cliff, the views, the well-maintained gardens and the pool area. It was very well furnished and with a complete kitchen.
JTA July 2024
Baia dei Turchi is a great place for a family gathering. We would return.
CTC July 2024
Baia dei Turchi was spectacular and perfectly appointed, provisioned and maintained. The view was breathtaking. The kitchen was fun and the pool, Turkish bath, sauna, hot tub and workout room were exceptional. And the staff were exceptional. They attended to everything, always pleased to help us at all hours. This was the best experience I have ever had at a home rental, the best among some world class experiences. Thank you.
