Lavender & Lemon

Lavender & Lemon: Sicily

Noto is just 1.5 kilometres away from this home, making it a perfect base to explore one of Sicily's most famous (and most beautiful) cities. If sandy beaches are more your thing, the Vendicari Nature Reserve is a ten-minute drive away. Breezy and modern, the fuss-free interiors lack some character. That said, the garden is the biggest draw here, surrounded by lemon and orange groves with lavender wafting in the air. Mealtimes are best enjoyed on the terrace, while afternoons can be spent in the pool when you're not up for an adventure. The sea views are limited, but on a clear day, you can glimpse the lighthouse in Porto Palo, Sicily's southernmost point. Larger groups can book the house next door, too.

Home truths:
*There's another small home on the same property. A small path runs between the two homes, so it lacks privacy if you're not booking them together.
*Two of the beds are made up of two single mattresses. They can be pushed together to create double beds or kept apart if you'd rather have twin beds.
*The pool may only be available to use between June and September – please speak to your host for the exact dates. It's unfenced, so little ones will need to be supervised at all times.
*Your host provides beach and pool towels.
*Due to the location of this home, we suggest hiring a car for ease. Parking is available here.
