Surrounded by bougainvillea on your shaded veranda, sip a glass of Nero d’Avola as you soak up the historic surroundings. This beautiful villa, close to Lido di Noto and the Vendicari Nature Reserve, is perfectly placed for discovering the natural beauty, idyllic coastline and rich heritage of southeastern Sicily.
At the end of a dusty road, just moments from an archaeological site dating back to the third century B.C., Villa Punta Bella welcomes up to six guests to a unique setting between the countryside and the sea. Step inside and admire contemporary style and Sicilian character. An open-plan living space awaits with its comfy air-conditioned lounge, chic dining table and well-equipped modern kitchen whilst a striking floating staircase leads upstairs to three air-conditioned bedrooms, each with an en suite shower room.
Step outside and relax on the wrap-around terrace with its outdoor sofas, a stone and marble dining table and summer kitchen, accompanied by the scent of jasmine or grilled delights on the barbecue. Pass almond and fruit trees as you stroll through the Mediterranean garden with its stone amphitheatre and gorgeous long swimming pool. Catch glimpses of the sea, an idyllic contrast to olive trees, stone terraces, cacti and bursts of summer colour throughout the grounds.
Here you are just a short distance to the wonderful beaches of Pizzuta and Eloro or you may prefer to head straight to the coastal resort of Lido di Noto with its beach clubs and seasonal restaurants that come alive in the height of the summer.
Indeed, this villa enjoys a superb location for exploring this region’s natural beauty and cultural treasures. Follow scenic hiking trails, discover hidden beaches like Calamosche and spot flamingos, herons and even turtles as you explore the Vendicari Nature Reserve. Inland, the baroque elegance of Noto awaits, while nearby Avola tempts with its celebrated wineries and coastal ambience. Meanwhile, the ancient wonders of Syracuse and Ortigia offer an exciting day trip just over half an hour by car.
Return to the gentle sea breeze, the scent of countryside in the air and the unmistakable charm of this characterful Sicilian abode.
