Set in stunning, fragrant grounds and boasting striking interior design, Villa Aironi offers an unforgettable Sicilian retreat for up to 12 guests. With beautiful views across acres of vineyards and the sea on the horizon, this villa offers blissful seclusion in the countryside. Enjoy peace and quiet while still benefiting from being within easy reach of the amenities and attractions of beautiful Noto.

The villa sits close to the Vendicari Nature Reserve, which boasts some of the region's most picture-perfect beaches and an array of wildlife. The crystal-clear waters of these highly-rated beaches are ideal for swimming, and the soft golden sands lend themselves to picnics bursting with produce. Showcasing incredible limestone Baroque architecture, wander for hours through the charming streets of nearby Noto. After admiring the stunning cathedral, take your pick from the town's tempting cafés and restaurants, serving traditional dishes such as arancini and pasta alla norma.

Bold and contemporary, the use of geometric prints and statement walls make this villa a feast for the eyes. Cosy and inviting, Villa Aironi offers numerous comfortable living spaces, carefully curated to encourage a slower pace of life – whether reading a book from the library or chatting with friends over a bottle of wine. Food has to be at the centre of an Italian holiday, and the gorgeous kitchen marries modern convenience with rustic touches to create an inspiring space for whipping up mountains of pasta for your guests.

With eye-catching bedding, drapery, harlequin tiling, and modern artwork, the villa's six ensuite bedrooms are chic and uplifting. The bathrooms are stylish and sleek, with features such as dual vanity sinks. Two bedrooms offer calming sea views. Another bedroom is separate and has an extra twin bed. The villa also provides a workspace with two foldaway beds.

The outdoor space is scented by herbs warmed in the sun within the sunken garden. Look out across the nature reserve from the spacious terrace or take a dip in the pool. Head to the outdoor rooftop kitchen to cook locally caught fish as you watch the sun sink into the horizon from the tranquil retreat that is Villa Aironi.
