The Stone Garden

The Stone Garden: Sicily

In the historic heart of Sicily's baroque capital, this charming home beautifully blends modern and antique for a true taste of Noto. Located mere minutes from the city's famous cathedral, step out of your front door you're ready to explore. Spend your days wandering around magnificent palaces, sampling traditional sweets in world-renowned pastry shops, and sampling the local cuisine in one of the many excellent restaurants on offer. You really couldn't be better placed for soaking up all of the culture, history and breathtaking architecture of this fascinating part of Italy, whether you decide to travel on foot or rent a bike to navigate the narrow streets.

After a busy day, nothing beats coming home and opening up the patio doors to let the cool breeze roll in. Relax with a cup of coffee and a good book at the dining table, or head outside to savour a bottle of wine in the courtyard with friends. Why not have a go at cooking some Sicilian food? Take your plate onto the patio to dine alfresco as the sun goes down.
