Designer chic immersed in the peace and quiet of Noto’s countryside... Stylish, essential and perfectly proportioned... I Lentischi’s owners, both successful designers, have created the kind of soothing, modern space we know that many of our clients yearn for. Uninterrupted tranquillity and undisturbed views make this a wonderful rural getaway, though Noto and the unspoilt beaches of Vendicari Nature Reserve are just a short drive away.

The Area

I Lentischi is set in rolling hills between the fascinating Baroque town of Noto and the beautiful natural reserve of Vendicari. Noto is the most easterly of a chain of baroque towns now protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is also perhaps the most perfect of the baroque towns, which were all rebuilt in flamboyant style following a major earthquake in 1693. The Vendicari nature reserve boasts some of the finest sandy beaches in Sicily, which are pleasingly under-populated even in the height of summer. Vendicari is also home to thousands of migrating flamingos, and sea turtles nest on its beaches.

If hiking in the hills is your thing, then there is some spectacular scenery in the rushing streams and waterfalls of Cassibile and at the Paleolithic burial sites in the dramatic valley of Pantalica.

Syracuse is just half an hour's drive away, and a day there is highly recommended to anybody spending a week or two at I Lentischi. A little further afield, the other baroque towns of Modica, Ragusa and Scicli are easily reachable in a day.

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.

Our experience was smooth and with good communication. I Lentischi is a well-equipped villa. What stood out was the setting. We would return.

I Lentischi really had everything we needed and had been done with style. It was therefore very easy-going which is what we were looking for. We had a relaxing, organised, and easy holiday.

Our stay at I Lentischi was relaxing, peaceful and recharging. What stood out was its style of decoration and its position on the hill with wonderful views. Thank you.
