Sicilian villa with timeless elegance
just minutes from noto, set within the countryside of south-eastern sicily, the villa gradually reveals itself among olive trees, dry-stone walls, and mediterranean light.
the project stems from a restoration and contemporary reinterpretation by an internationally renowned architect, who has restored the residence′s original character while integrating a current, essential, and restrained design language. the architecture preserves the material strength of local tradition: natural stone, warm-toned plaster finishes, handcrafted floors, and surfaces that interact continuously with light throughout the day.
interiors unfold as a fluid and continuous sequence, fostering spatial harmony and coherence. the living area, generous and filled with natural light, opens onto the landscape through large openings that strengthen the dialogue between indoors and outdoors. the kitchen, inspired by sicilian tradition, is reimagined in a contemporary key through clean volumes, authentic materials, and a direct relationship with the exterior spaces. the villa features six en-suite bedrooms, each defined by balanced proportions and carefully framed views of the surrounding landscape. modern furnishings coexist with antiques and works of art, creating a refined equilibrium between past and present, guided by a concept of understated, timeless comfort.
outdoors, shaded verandas and thoughtfully designed gardens lead to the private swimming pool, positioned to offer expansive and far-reaching views across the countryside. below, an italian-style garden introduces a more formal and contemplative dimension. the property embodies a vision of living rooted in craftsmanship, quality, and a profound connection with its setting.
