The Palladian Smile

The Palladian Smile: Sicily

Offering a plethora of outdoor spaces to stretch out in, this one-storey villa in southeastern Sicily struck us as perfect for sun-seekers. From the terrace, you can enjoy fine food while scanning the local area and overlooking the pool. Inside, the living room felt a little cluttered and the kitchen on the smaller side, but the French doors in each bedroom are a nice touch – you're never far from the sun here. Meal times are a breeze thanks to the nearby supermarkets and restaurants – just a short drive away. And further afield, sandy beaches are 6km away, and the charmingly Baroque Noto is only a 1.5km drive.

Home truths:
*The two twin bedrooms can become doubles on request. Your host can also provide an extra single bed, to be added to one of the other bedrooms, also on request.
*The living room felt a little cluttered here, and the kitchen is on the smaller side.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times. It is only available for use between 1st June and 30th September. If you're visiting outside these times and would like to use the pool, please contact your host to see if this is possible.
*There is a narrow flight of stairs leading from the villa to the pool area.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking here.
