Located on the top of a hill in the heart of the Val di Noto, Le Forme is a beautiful home surrounded by ancient olive trees, sun-kissed vineyards, and verdant hills in southeastern Sicily. Just a stone’s throw away from the coastline, it offers excellent views of the surrounding natural backdrop.
Step inside this chic countryside property with incredible views. Modern and minimalistic interiors in hues inspired by the cliffs and heavenly soft sand that’s synonymous with the island are what you’ll find here – from rattan rugs and brown marble countertops to patterned tiles and soft furnishings.
The kitchen is made for recreating yummy local dishes, with first-class appliances and a stunning dining area that looks out to the vineyards. Further through industrial glass doors, you’ll find the cosy living room with a sofa inviting you to sink in after a long day. There’s an additional dining table and plenty of ambient lighting to set the mood. The double bedrooms are all equally minimalist and decorated in a soothing colour palette with modern bathrooms and two balconies overlooking the garden.
The villa, built with local materials and rustic sandstone exteriors, is immersed in a scrubby land full of sun-dappled vineyards and olive groves extending as far as the eye can see. Guests are invited to unwind in the garden which combines a neatly manicured lawn with Sicilian vegetation, or by the pool that can be accessed by a stone path. Harmoniously illuminated at night, it runs underneath a tower and has a sleek corner bar on one side for preparing cocktails and light snacks. Climb the stairs, where you’ll find an al-fresco dining spot perfect for soaking up the tranquil views.
It’s easy to spend an entire day in this calm oasis, but allow plenty of time for exploring. The closest village is Rosolini, and it has local amenities such as family-owned trattorias, ice cream shops and supermarkets to make your stay more comfortable.
Noto, a town known for its baroque architecture and plenty of historical sights, is only a 20-minute drive away. The unspoiled and sun-drenched corner of Sicily is ideal for immersing in the local culture by visiting its churches, markets and squares.
