Villa Serenita

A delightful villa for eight in Sicily’s south-eastern corner, between Noto and Syracuse

Villa Serenita is a wonderful sand-coloured villa for eight not far from the coast in Sicily’s south-eastern corner, close to a clutch of beautiful towns bursting with history, including Noto, Syracuse, and Ortigia.

The design and colours of the house have been informed by the landscape that is visible through the large windows and doors that feature in every room. Wrapped by a veranda on one side, the house offers beautiful ‘rooms’ both inside and out, furnished with a carefully curated mix of vintage and modern pieces. This is a house where guests are truly invited to relax.

The bedrooms are lovely and large and guests have plenty of choice as to where they eat, or have a siesta, or a drink before dinner: there are two verandas, a roof terrace and shaded loungers next to the fabulous pool that almost tips into an olive grove.

The Ionian Sea is just moments away. Choose between the neat curve of golden sand in Fontane Bianche or the wilder parts of the Vendicari Nature Reserve, before coming back to the deep comfort of this delightful villa.

Rooms description

Bedrooms

The four bedrooms are individually decorated with soft-coloured walls, cotto floors and splashes of colour. Floor-to-ceiling doors in each lead to the terrace or balcony.

Bathrooms

The en-suite shower rooms have tiles in different colours and features such as a marble basin or antique mirror.

Kitchen

The modern, well-equipped kitchen is full of natural materials, including marble splashbacks, a cotto floor and a wooden kitchen table. A display of Sicilian ceramics add character while light floods in from two sets of doors to outside. There is further dining space on two verandas.

Living rooms

The sitting room has a corner chimney fire for the cooler months and triple doors to the terrace that frame the wild Sicilian landscape. It’s a lovely calm space – as perfect for socialising, as for a quiet moment with a book.

Outside

The long veranda has an old-fashioned glamour to it thanks to the vintage furniture, the potted plants and the cosy simplicity of it. Here, there’s a dining table and a sitting area that can be used throughout the day. There’s a second shaded spot for dining and lounging to the side of the house and a roof terrace with views to the coast. The large pool has sun loungers under parasols and the garden has mature olive trees, palms, bougainvillea and Mediterranean planting.
