2 bedrooms detached house, 113 m²

Noto, Syracuse (province)

The property has undergone a meticulous renovation, carried out with character and great attention to detail. The result is a home of understated luxury, combining 20th-century Italian design with contemporary comfort and the natural elegance of a Haute Couture dress. The tour begins on the upper level, dedicated to the living area. Here, the kitchen and living room share a bright space furnished with carefully selected pieces and touches of color. The fully equipped kitchen is defined by wooden cabinetry, an induction hob and a substantial natural-marble worktop: authentic materials that combine everyday functionality with timeless elegance. This area opens directly onto two outdoor spaces, conceived as a natural extension of the home and designed to be enjoyed for much of the year, thanks to the mild climate of southeastern Sicily. The first terrace features a large dining table sheltered by a light reed canopy. It is ideal for long breakfasts, al fresco lunches and dinners with friends, immersed in the tranquillity of the upper part of the historic centre. A few steps lead to the second terrace, more intimate and elevated, conceived as a private viewpoint over the rooftops of Noto. From here, the view reaches the dome of St Nicholas Cathedral, offering a privileged perspective over the Baroque city. The lower level houses the sleeping area, comprising two spacious, fully furnished double bedrooms. Airy and bright, the rooms retain their original 1970s marble-chip flooring, restored during the renovation and brought back to its full expressive character. The main bathroom, measuring approximately 15 sq m, is one of the home’s most striking spaces. Its large open-plan walk-in shower, generous mirrors and bespoke furnishings, inspired by the lines of 1950s Italian design, give it the character of a refined private bathroom suite. The second bathroom, more compact but equally functional, includes a shower, bidet and sanitary fixtures. A window provides natural light and constant ventilation. Currently performing successfully on the holiday-rental market, the property generates an established annual return of great interest. It is therefore not just an elegant residence at the heart of Sicilian Baroque architecture, but also a sound investment opportunity in one of Sicily’s most prestigious and sought-after tourist destinations.
Located along Via Principe Umberto, one of Noto’s most elegant historic streets, the property enjoys a privileged position in the heart of the Baroque city. The Cathedral of San Nicolò, Palazzo Ducezio, the main aristocratic palaces, restaurants, cafés and boutiques are all within a few minutes’ walk, allowing residents to experience the historic centre authentically and comfortably. This neighbourhood still preserves the character of Noto as it once was: its streets are home to traditional artisan workshops and long-established businesses that are true local institutions. Butchers, bakers, greengrocers, pastry shops and small neighbourhood stores keep alive a tradition built on quality, personal relationships and everyday life. Noto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is now one of Sicily’s most prestigious destinations, just minutes from the beaches of Lido di Noto and San Lorenzo and the Vendicari Nature Reserve, making this property ideal both as a private residence and as a valuable investment.
