Overview
A stay at the contemporary and comfortable Villa Genovesi means getting away from it all, deep in the Sicilian countryside. Surrounded by lush hillsides and with distant views of the sea, there's a wonderful sense of total relaxation and calm here. Enjoy long walks and hikes through the idyllic countryside just moments after stepping outside Villa Genovesi. Towns such as Noto and Avola with its sandy beach also within easy reach.
The villa and its separate annexe are both set over two floors and sit within beautiful gardens that feature several terraces for taking in the panoramic views. Each also has a modern, stylish interior, with plenty of luxurious features and facilities on offer.
The main villa can accommodate up to six guests over three ensuite bedrooms, which are all spacious and sumptuously furnished. The two ground-floor bedrooms also boast a shared living space that's ideal for reading and chilling out. It also gives direct access to a terrace with outdoor dining area. The upstairs living/dining room with kitchen is a lovely, sociable space for everyone to get together for meals and pre-dinner drinks.
Providing a further two bedrooms is the well-appointed annexe. The first-floor bedroom is particularly impressive, with a huge window offering clear views over the unspoilt countryside. It's the perfect sight to wake up to every morning before heading downstairs for breakfast.
The outside space at Villa Genovesi is vast and offers spaces for rest, leisure and dining. The gardens are bursting with typical Mediterranean trees and plants for a traditional feel and scenic strolls. Unwind on a pool-side lounger or chair before taking a cooling dip in the lovely swimming pool. The first floor of the main villa is where you'll find the main outside dining area for enjoying al fresco meals as the sun starts to set over the hills and sea.
Both countryside and coast are only a short drive away from the villa. Explore typical, rural Sicilian landscapes as you walk, hike and cycle around the immediate area. Amenities and attractions can be found in the nearby town of Noto, which is famous for its Baroque architecture. The historic city of Syracuse is a 30-minute drive away, with many sandy beaches even closer.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa GenovesiVilla Genovesi offers both a secluded and private retreat, as well as a base for easily accessing amenities. The town of Noto is full of restaurants to choose for when you want to enjoy an evening meal out. Many bars, shops, banks and plenty of other convenient services can also be found in the town.
UNESCO-protected Noto is a beautiful and historic place to spend a few hours sightseeing. Of all its stunning Baroque-era buildings, 18th-century Noto Cathedral is one of the most majestic. The town is bursting with grand palaces, churches and various other structures dating back several centuries, so it really is a history lover's paradise! Stroll the attractive streets with a delicious gelato and soak up the lively atmosphere, with musicians and street performers a common sight.
The closest beach to the villa is Marina di Avola. There's also a sandy stretch and crystal clear waters to enjoy at Calamosche Beach. Slightly further away are the beaches at Fontane Bianche and San Lorenzo.
Close to San Lorenzo Beach is over 1,500 hectares of naturally-beautiful land that makes up Vendicari Nature Reserve. Marshes are home to a range of birds, such as pelicans, egrets and flamingos; making it ideal for birdwatching. Wild beaches are rarely crowded or busy and give you the chance to snorkel and swim in the sea. Over 13km of rocky coastline can be hiked, with the chance to come across many archaeological remains too. Also explore Cavagrande Nature Reserve to swim in rock basins that have naturally formed within dramatic canyons.
The city of Syracuse has a bustling historic centre called Ortigia that's full of old buildings and areas, with the Piazza del Duomo being one of the most striking. Be sure to visit the vast archaeological park that's home to several ancient sites, such as the Greek Theatre.
