Villa Domus
Italy / Noto, Sicily
Full description
A jaw-dropping retreat with an infinity pool and panoramic nature reserve views, architect-designed for a sumptuous, tranquil holiday in unspoilt south-east Sicily.
Secluded from Sicily's bustling tourist traps, Villa Domus occupies prime position for exploring the ancient, baroque cities in the triangle of the south east of Sicily.
Sleeping up to 10 guests, the heavenly hideaway was specifically designed by the celebrated architect Marco Navarra, to showcase this amazing part of the world at its most beautiful.
What better way to end your arrival journey than to be greeted by your villa's enormous glass walls, clean-lined interiors with hand-picked artisan furnishings... and its shimmering infinity pool, which merges perfectly with the blue Ionian Sea?
Chic, contemporary, and relaxed, the designer loft-style living and dining areas feature cosy seating, and well-chosen accessories to help maximise your enjoyment of that awe-inspiring scenery.
The kitchen, meanwhile, is a thing of wonder. Facing both the infinity pool and the deep, enchanting canyon beyond, you'll find it equipped with high-end appliances galore (rock-filtered spring water ice maker included!) ... and there's even a squishy couch, so chefs and non-chefs alike can chat over a glass or two of wine, as delicious meals are created.
If you don't fancy devouring them inside, why not gather on the sun-drenched patio to break bread, Sicilian family-style? There's plenty to keep everybody occupied if you're in the mood to linger al fresco, including a dedicated children's play area, and even an outdoor cinema with a screen the size of a London bus!
When you're finally ready for sleep, you'll discover three en-suite double bedrooms, plus three sofa beds, to help everybody drift off into a sound night's slumber.
Each bedroom is opulent yet soothingly simple, featuring bedheads decked with colourful tiles and exposed walls and flooring. Oh, and in an elegant nod to the area's fascinating history, you can even wash your face in a sink created with lava stone straight from Mount Etna.
You'll find it hard to leave your blissful idyll, yet if you do decide to venture out, there's a pristine white-sand beach just ten minutes away by car. And since you'll be provided with underwater masks and a sea scooter, you might find the lure of that crystal-clear water hard to resist!
Go shopping in historic Cassibile, only seven minutes away, or visit the UNESCO World Heritage cities of Noto, Modica, and Ragusa, the latter of which boasts origins that date all the way back to the second millennium BC.
Meanwhile, Cavagrande del Cassibile, the expansive and enchanting nature reserve you can see from your villa, is a treat up close... in fact, why not bathe under the sparkling waterfalls at the lakes of Avola, and add an even greater touch of paradise to a truly unforgettable holiday?
Things to note
Check in from 4:30 pm, check out by 9am. The infinity pool is available from April to mid November.
