Noto, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy

Signed by two Belgian architects, this contemporary residence was created with the intent to respect and enhance the territory. Built together with local artisans and using materials from Sicily, the villa has defined a recognizable and appreciated architectural style, becoming a benchmark for new constructions in the area.
The property stands on a gentle hill offering an open view towards the baroque of Noto and the Ionian Sea. The light envelops the house from the first light of dawn to the hues of sunset, creating a changing and always evocative atmosphere.
On over a hectare of easily manageable land, the villa accommodates up to ten people. On the main floor, white and bright surfaces interact with dry stone and natural wood. The Boffi kitchen, with a Carrara marble island (the only non-Sicilian element), opens onto the living room with a fireplace, large and soft sofas, and large panoramic windows. The wooden fixtures add warmth and texture, contrasting with the linearity of the cement floors.
The four double bedrooms, all equipped with air conditioning and heating, guarantee comfort and privacy. Three are located on the ground floor, each with a dedicated bathroom; the fourth, independent, occupies the upper level. Here also extends a large solarium running along the entire facade and offering a 360° view. In the basement, a multipurpose room, currently a gym, can easily become a climate-controlled wine cellar.
Outside there are four panoramic terraces, each with its own exposure and atmosphere, ideal for different moments of the day. An outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven and large concrete tables invites dinners enjoyed with Nero d'Avola and Scacce of ancient grains.
The 16 × 4 meter infinity pool, set up for heating, integrates with the landscape of almond and olive trees and creates a relaxation area usable in multiple seasons.
This villa represents a simple and refined way of living: light, authentic materials, and functional spaces designed for a contemporary Mediterranean life, also comfortably domestic.
This property aims to be a four-season residence, both intended for those who want to live in it privately and for those who wish to make an investment. Currently, the villa has an interesting profitability, with very favorable revaluation margins.
